FSD, Waveguides, and Focus/Depth Planes – A Fatally Flawed Foundation While you can’t find what Magic Leap hypes as “photonic light field chip” anywhere in their patent application, they do discuss diffractive (mostly) waveguides. I have previously discussed some of…
Introduction It has been sometime since I wrote about Magic’s Leap’s technical activity. So I thought in light of the recent Rolling Stone reveal, it was time to discuss what Magic Leap is really doing and separating out the marketing…
For this blog which has been describing Magic Leap’s technology for over a year, the Rolling Stone “Reveal” (R.S. Reveal) of the form factor was a non-event. It was just a way for Magic Leap hype train make some news…
