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.
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.
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 and Background As I discussed in Apple AR Patent Clutter and Hiding AR Patents, Apple has very few of what I would consider “serious” AR patent applications. Of the very few interesting patent applications they have filed, almost all…
