Rivet Industries was founded in 2024 by people that worked on Microsoft Hololens. In looking at their website, I discovered that they were using Lumus geometric waveguides. In addition to Microsoft, Rivet also has connections' in Peter Thiel's Palantir Technologies. Rivet may be more than your everyday startup.
In my last article, Canon R5 Mk ii Drops Pixel Shift High Res. Is Canon Missing the AI Big Picture? I showed how IBIS High Resolution was useful in improving resolution and reducing moiré/aliasing. Having received my R5 mk. ii (R5m2), I set up a simple resolution and moiré test to compare the R5m2 with its "AI" In-Camera Upscaling to the original R5 with IBIS High Res (IBIS HR).
Sometimes, companies make what seems, on the surface, technically poor decisions. I consider this the case with Canon's new R5 Mark ii (and R1) dropping support for sensor Pixel Shifting High Resolution (what Canon calls IBIS High Res). Canon removed the IBIS High Res mode, which captures (as I will demonstrate) more real information and seemingly adds an AI upscaling to create fake information.
