I wanted to drop a quick note that I am going to be at AR/VR/MR 2025 next week and am looking forward to meeting people and seeing technology. If you want to meet with me, please email meet@kgontech.com.

Update: A second reader with expertise in Waveguide believes (but, like my other reader, does not have direct knowledge) that the Snap Spectacles 5 is still using a waveguide with gratings on only one side. This second reader cites the…
Update (Oct. 19th, 2024) While the general premise of this article is that Meta Orion is using similar waveguide technology to Snap (Wave Optics) and that Magic Leap 2 is correct, it turns out that a number of assumptions about…
