 # Matching Prescription &amp; Visual Acuity: Towards AR for Humans

  ![](/sites/default/files/styles/wide/public/publications/Teasor_image_0.JPG?itok=PI4OcR1A)

 Inspired by human visual perception, we demonstrate two novel wearable augmented reality displays. The first "Prescription AR" integrates prescription correction in a 5mm-thick image combiner. The static prototype is 50g and eyeglasses form factor. The second "Foveated AR" adapts to user gaze by adjusting the resolution and focal depth.
