Summary:In an embodiment, a modular augmented reality display is provided that incorporates prescription eyewear that can be used separately by the wearer. In an embodiment, an image is generated from a removable display attached to the eyewear and directed into the edge of a prescription lens, which acts as a waveguide. The image is internally reflected within the prescription lens, and is directed to the wearer by an image combiner embedded within the prescription lens. In an embodiment, the augmented reality display includes a wearable belt pouch that includes a battery and support electronics connected to the eyewear so that the weight on the eyewear is reduced.
