Introduction While Meta’s announced Orion prototype AR Glasses at Meta Connect made big news, there were few technical details beyond it having a 70-degree field of view (FOV) and using…
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.
Introduction The recently announced Even Realities G1 (ER G1) glasses (right) enter a somewhat crowded field of glasses form factor AR glasses using Jade Bird Display’s (JBD) 640×480 green (only)…
Introduction Based on information gathered at SID Display Week and AWE, I have many articles to write based on the thousands of pictures I took and things I learned. I…
Introduction At AWE 2024, I was on a panel discussion titled “The Current State and Future Direction of AR Glasses.” Jeri Ellsworth, CEO of Tilt Five, Ed Tang, CEO of…
The optics R&D company Hypervision provided a detailed design analysis of the Apple Vision Pro's optical design in June 2023 (see Apple Vision Pro (Part 4) - Hypervision Pancake Optics Analysis). Hypervision just released an interesting analysis exploring whether Micro-OLEDs, as used by the Apple Vision Pro, or LCDs used by Meta and most others, can support high 60 pixels per degree, angular resolution, and a wide FOV. Hypervision's report is titled 60PPD: by fast LCD but not by micro OLED.
I saw the Cogni Trax hard edge occlusion demo last week at SID Display Week 2024, and it epitomized the concept of being a "magic show." In this article I explain the concept behind Cogni Trax hard edge occlusion and why I don't think it will ever be practical.
This article analysis Brilliant Labs new Frame AR with AI glasses. Along the way I came across some interesting technical information related to the Apple Vision Pro's Display.
Apple Vision Pro Discussion with Jason McDowall
This article will discuss non-display device companies followed by companies developing Holographic and Light Field displays. It is part 4 of my combined CES and AR/VR/MR 2024 coverage of over 50 Mixed Reality companies.
I met with >50 Companies in January 2024 and decided to do a video with The AR Show's Jason McDowall to discuss them. In Part 3, I discuss 10 companies working on display devices for headsets.

Introduction Today, rather than shooting through AR/MR headsets, I pointed my camera skyward toward the Solar Eclipse. They were forecasting a lot of cloud cover in the Dallas area, and…
