What if #AR glasses could go from being a niche gadget to something as light and comfortable as a regular pair of eyeglasses?
A new single waveguide in-coupler improves the #technology by efficiently catching incoming light, thanks to three specialized zones, each made of a metasurface material.💡⚛️
