The Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality theme at FiO welcomes attendees to learn about the unique and longstanding optical challenges with wearable displays. While impressive, today’s devices are only at the beginning of a long journey, with numerous optical challenges to be resolved to reach faultless visuals with devices that ultimately appear to be ordinary eyeglasses.

The curated set of invited presentations, from AR/VR leaders spanning academia and industry, serves as a historical retrospective, state-of-the-art report, and, most significantly, an inspiration for young researchers and established scientists to join the worldwide community trying to turn science fiction into reality.
