In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter involves a head worn device (HWD) for viewing augmented reality, or virtual images. A projector coupled to the HWD may use a microelectromechanical systems projector and project onto a holographic lens of the HWD. Images may be projected into an eyebox area that is deemed comfortable to the user, the eyebox area located in one of a plurality of vertically adjacent recording zones. The recording zone for projection may be selected by the user, or be automatically selected based on configuration parameters of the HWD. Horizontal correction of the eyebox may be included. In an embodiment, multiple horizontal images are displayed in the selected recording zone, in different wavelengths. Another embodiment adjusts horizontal shift of the projected image based on user inputs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
