A system, method, and device for configuring an optical aiming device for ballistic drop compensation (BDC). The optical aiming device can include a housing with a reticle pane defining a reticle display field viewable by a user and indicating a zero point, the housing further including a plurality of axially spaced lenses and defining an optical path therethrough. In various embodiments the system includes a display device configured to project an image generated from a display, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The computer readable data storage medium can include instructions executable by the processor to receive a first set of ballistics input data indicating a first type of ammunition, determine a BDC pattern including at least two holdover marks corresponding to at least two ranges for the first type of ammunition, and project the BDC pattern onto the reticle display field.

An AR optical system includes a depth-of-field separation structure corresponding to an image source, configured to convert light rays emitted from the image source into a plurality of light beams with different depths of field; a convergent lens located on an emergent light path of the depth-of-field separation structure, and configured to receive and shape the plurality of light beams with different depths of field; a first semi-transmitting semi-reflecting mirror located on a side, away from the depth-of-field separation structure, of the convergent lens, and configured to reflect the plurality of shaped light beams with different depths of field towards a set direction; a concave mirror having a preset transmission-reflection ratio configured to reflect and converge the plurality of light beams with different depths of field and then make the light beam incident to a set observation position after passing through the first semi-transmitting semi-reflecting mirror.

Head-mounted virtual and augmented reality display systems include a light projector with one or more emissive micro-displays having a first resolution and a pixel pitch. The projector outputs light forming frames of virtual content having at least a portion associated with a second resolution greater than the first resolution. The projector outputs light forming a first subframe of the rendered frame at the first resolution, and parts of the projector are shifted using actuators, such that physical positions of light output for individual pixels occupy gaps between the old locations of light output for individual pixels. The projector then outputs light forming a second subframe of the rendered frame. The first and second subframes are outputted within the flicker fusion threshold. Advantageously, an emissive micro-display (e.g., micro-LED display) having a low resolution can form a frame having a higher resolution by using the same light emitters to function as multiple pixels of that frame.

Optical systems including lens assemblies and methods of imaging fields of view using such optical systems are disclosed. An optical system for imaging a two dimensional field includes a first lens assembly, a first scanning mirror, a second lens assembly, and a two dimensional image sensor. The first lens assembly has a first transform function whose output is within 0.1% of f.sub.1*(c.sub.1*θ.sub.1+(1−c.sub.1)*sin(θ.sub.1)) for any ray of light that traverses the first lens assembly from a center of an entrance pupil of the first lens assembly at an angle θ.sub.1 relative to an optical axis of the first lens assembly. f.sub.1 is a focal length of the first lens assembly, and −0.5<c.sub.1<2.
