Current AR waveguide fabrication processes, including Surface Relief Gratings (SRG), holographic and cascaded mirrors, are reviewed. We present DigiLens's Switchable Bragg Grating (SBG)‐based manufacturing process which transforms classical holographic contact copying into a versatile, cost‐effective printing process for AR waveguides of any size and field‐of‐view.
