    Abstract: An optical system is provided. The optical system includes an image generator configured to output image signals for configuring a virtual image, and an infrared (IR) image signal, a multipath optical element configured to guide the beams, a diffraction grating configured to diffract parts of the output beams and transmit other parts of the output beams, an outcoupler configured to allow the diffracted beams to exit the multipath optical element, a first camera configured to sense a pattern of reflection of an IR beam exiting the outcoupler, an IR filter diffraction element, a second camera configured to sense a pattern of reflection of the IR beam projected toward the real world, and a processor configured to determine a line of sight of a user based on the pattern sensed by the first camera, and to determine depth information of the object based on the pattern sensed by the second camera.

    Abstract: Provided is a virtual image display device including: an image generator outputting a virtual image; a filter transmitting light in a first polarization state in the output virtual image; a multipath optical element guiding the transmitted light in the first polarization state; a first optical element arranged on a first side of the multipath optical element and allowing the guided light in the first polarization state and real-world light to pass therethrough; a second optical element arranged on a second side opposite to the first side of the multipath optical element and allowing the real-world light to pass therethrough; and a processor controlling the image generator, the first optical element, and the second optical element.
