In this article and presentation, we are introducing for the first time to our knowledge, the use of a curved waveguide (instead of flat), as a combiner for HUD/AR applications. Curved waveguides can find applications in automotive HUD (windshield), motorcycle (helmet visor), and AR glasses (curved lenses and prescription lenses).
