Imaging apparatus for smartglasses for generating a virtual image from an original image, which is divided into at least two original partial images, wherein the imaging apparatus comprises: - an image generator element arrangement having a number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6), on which a corresponding number of original partial images is represented, - a number of imaging channels comprising in each case at least one image-forming reflection surface (27 1 to 27 6) and/or at least one image-forming refraction surface (25 1 to 25 6, 29 1 to 29 6), said number corresponding to the number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6), wherein each of the imaging channels is associated with one of the image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6) and transmits one of the original partial images, and - a spectacle lens, which is common to all imaging channels and via which the imaging channels are directed in the direction of an observer's eye, wherein - the image-forming reflection surfaces (27 1 to 27 6) and/or refraction surfaces (25 1 to 25 6, 29 1 to 29 6) of the imaging channels are surfaces of a prism that is arranged on the spectacle lens, - the original partial images of at least two image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6) represent image sections of the original image with partially overlapping image regions, wherein the overlapping image regions are transmitted via at least two different imaging channels, and - image generator elements (1 1, 1 5) located at the periphery of the image generator element arrangement have a smaller image generator surface and represent smaller image sections of the original image than image generator elements (1 3) that are located further in the center of the image generator element arrangement. - an image generator element arrangement having a number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6), on which a corresponding number of original partial images is represented, - a number of imaging channels comprising in each case at least one image-forming reflection surface (27 1 to 27 6) and/or at least one image-forming refraction surface (25 1 to 25 6, 29 1 to 29 6), said number corresponding to the number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6), wherein each of the imaging channels is associated with one of the image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6) and transmits one of the original partial images, and - a spectacle lens, which is common to all imaging channels and via which the imaging channels are directed in the direction of an observer's eye, wherein - the image-forming reflection surfaces (27 1 to 27 6) and/or refraction surfaces (25 1 to 25 6, 29 1 to 29 6) of the imaging channels are surfaces of a prism that is arranged on the spectacle lens, - the original partial images of at least two image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6) represent image sections of the original image with partially overlapping image regions, wherein the overlapping image regions are transmitted via at least two different imaging channels, and - image generator elements (1 1, 1 5) located at the periphery of the image generator element arrangement have a smaller image generator surface and represent smaller image sections of the original image than image generator elements (1 3) that are located further in the center of the image generator element arrangement.
