Google patents AR glasses with two separate screens in one lens
Google describes a design for augmented reality glasses that uses a single lens to show two different images in separate areas. It works by feeding light from two different screens into the lens at different angles, so the user sees one image in the center and another off to the side.
In the filing’s own words
A waveguide system of an eyewear display device guides display light from a primary display to a primary field of view (FOV) and guides display light from a secondary display to a secondary FOV that is displaced from the primary FOV. Additional display light of a given color that is incoupled to the waveguide system at a different angle than the primary display light is outcoupled from the waveguide system at a corresponding angle displaced from the primary FOV to form a secondary FOV that is spatially displaced from the primary FOV in some embodiments.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A near-eye display system, comprising: a waveguide system; a first display to emit display light comprising a first color to enter a waveguide system at a first set of input angles corresponding to a first field of view; and a second display displaced from the first display to emit display light comprising a second color to enter the waveguide system at a second set of input angles corresponding to a second field of view, wherein the waveguide system is configured to direct display light from the first display to the first field of view and to direct display light from the second display to the second field of view.
