optical see-through displays

Optical see-through displays are augmented reality devices that overlay digital images onto the real world while allowing you to see your surroundings clearly. They typically involve transparent screens, like glasses or visors, through which you view both the physical environment and the digital content simultaneously. The technology uses projectors, mirrors, or waveguides to direct images onto your eyes without obstructing your view. This allows users to interact with digital information—such as navigation, data, or virtual objects—integrated seamlessly into their real-world environment, enhancing perception without blocking natural vision.
