AR in 2026: Year In Review (Part 3: Novel Combiners and Coherent LBS)

In this part of my year in AR review, I discuss novel optical combiners from TDK, Fourier Optics, CREAL's HOE, Smith Displays laser "Wave Mixing." I also discuss TDK's acquisition of LBS maker Oqmented and coherent Lissajous scanning.
along with some of TDK's laser beam scanning (LBS) activity. I also briefly mention CREAL's HOE combiner.
