Design of augmented reality device using optical reflective waveguide

Rapid developments in technology have enabled the emergence of augmented reality devices that allow for the inclusion of images and internet content into real-world environments. In this thesis, an augmented reality device design and prototype production were made by using the optical reflected waveguide method. These steps were followed during creation of prototype: First, the display and electronic components of the device are assembled. Device is designed with making optical calculations. The necessary software was developed and optical device is tested with sample applications. In the designed prototype device, the optical factors that should be taken into account during the design phase were investigated and various optical calculations were made to get optimum clarity of visual experience. Augmented reality experience tested on prototype device with sample application. 6-axis industrial robot is used in sample application which transmitted xyz position information wirelessly to the protype device.
