In Part 1 of this multi-part series on the Meta Ray Ban Display Glasses, I will focus on the display and optical path.
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.
Introduction: Challenge from Bosworth Accepted Several people pointed me to an interesting Instagram video AMA (ask me anything) by Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth on October 21, 2024, that appeared to challenge my October 6th article, Meta Orion AR Glasses (Pt.…
Update: A second reader with expertise in Waveguide believes (but, like my other reader, does not have direct knowledge) that the Snap Spectacles 5 is still using a waveguide with gratings on only one side. This second reader cites the…
Update (Oct. 19th, 2024) While the general premise of this article is that Meta Orion is using similar waveguide technology to Snap (Wave Optics) and that Magic Leap 2 is correct, it turns out that a number of assumptions about…

At AWE 2023, I gave a 25 minute presentation on the topic of Optical Mixed Reality (MR) versus Passthrough MR. I received many requests for a copy of the presentation. I had enough information on the 38 slides for a 2 hour presentation on the topic so I had to go through them rather quickly and pick and chose what was discussed so I decided to publish the slides.
Introduction – Contrast in Approaches and Technologies This article will compare and contrast the Vuzix Ultralight, Lumus Z-lens, and DigiLens Argo waveguide-based AR prototypes I saw at CES 2023. I discussed these three prototypes with SadlyItsBradly in our CES 2023…
