Analysis and Implementation of Hologram Lenses for See-Through Head-Mounted Display

We introduce an approach to implementation of see-through head-mounted displays using hologram lenses, which are categorized by holographic optical elements. The hologram lenses magnify displayed images and superimpose the magnified images on the real-world simultaneously, which allows system configuration to be compact. Here, we investigate imaging properties and optical issues of hologram lenses using the spectral analysis of light field. Also, the astigmatism of hologram lenses is analyzed and its compensation method is proposed and verified. We conclude by describing display results and a practical application of the proposed method.
