Introduction – Display Skeptics Videos It can take me weeks to prepare an in-depth study of a particular AR product, and I have been looking for an outlet to provide more information more quickly. Former Apple engineer Radu Reit and…
I just wanted to let all my readers know that the presentation I gave at AWE on June 12th, 2025, is now available on YouTube. The Video is 27 minutes long, including about 7 minutes of Q&A, and covers many of the practical and technical issues facing glasses form factor AI glasses, which include a display.
Introduction – Correcting Google AR Glasses Using Raxium MicroLEDs As I often say, few will volunteer information, but many will correct you. This is the case with my supposition about Google’s XR glasses prototype. In “Meta Hypernova and Google AR/AI…
Several technology demonstrations stood out to me at Display Week (DW) 2025. This article will cover Playnitride's Quantum Dot (QD) based full-color MicroLED, combined with Lumus's geometric (also known as reflective waveguide) technology.
As I wrote in may last article, Lumus showed me a "fantastically tiny projector" connected to their waveguide.
Meta and Google are both working on AR/AI glasses that are Monocular, Full Color, and using LCOS MicroDisplays (rather than MicroLEDs). It looks to me like Meta has chosen Lumus for its reflective waveguide while Google is using Applied Materials Diffractive Waveguide with an Avegant projector engine.
SID Display Week (DW) 2025 is coming to San Jose, CA, May 11–16. My last two articles discussed LCOS technology I saw at DW 2024 and MicroLEDs for AR at DW 2024. This article will concentrate on Micro-OLED (also known as OLEDs on Silicon), which could be used in optics-see-through (OST) Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) headsets.
SID Display Week (DW) 2025 is coming to San Jose, CA, May 11–16. My last article discussed the LCOS technology I saw at Display Week 2024, and this article will cover many MicroLED technologies. Of the conferences I go to regularly, Display Week has the most information I have found from MicroLED companies in one place.
SID Display Week 2025 is coming to San Jose, CA, May 11–16. Last year's event was a whirlwind of groundbreaking innovations. While I managed to share insights on Jade Bird Display's MicroLED Compensation, I’ve been sitting on information and photos on many other companies from Display Week 2024. With this year's show right around the corner, it's time to dust off those notes and many photos and write about the display and optics technology I found at last year’s Display Week, which was so interesting that I want to go back again this year.
Since starting this blog, I have been interested in AR optical designs that are different from others I have seen. When Xreal showed their Xreal One Pro at CES 2025, I was curious to know how it worked. As it turned out, the design was not as different as I had first thought. But the journey lead me to find some connections between Xreal's optical design and that of, Ant-Reality which was reportedly acquired by Google.
Introduction I’m in the process of organizing all the information I collected at CES and want to combine it with things I see at SPIE’s AR/VR/MR next week. Many companies showed AR glasses with AI capability at CES, and many…
