Augmented reality (AR) technology, which seamlessly overlays digital content onto our real-world view, has seen widespread adoption across various industries, from retail and gaming to education. A fundamental component enabling these immersive experiences is the waveguide display. These transparent optical layers act as conduits, guiding light from a projector directly to the user’s eye, allowin…

The personal care industry has seen many trends come and go over the years. With promises to revitalize and rejuvenate, clarify and cleanse, or depuff and detoxify, marketers have effectively built associations between certain ingredients, like charcoal or cucumber, and these claims/promises. However, consumers that test out products based on trendy ingredients, hoping for the implied outcome, ar…

By David Nelson, Director, MxR, ICT As Palmer Luckey, Founder, Anduril Industries (and designer of the Oculus Rift), prepares to open the President’s Speaker Series at Pepperdine, David Nelson, Director, MxR, ICT, looks back to Luckey’s early days in our lab – and then reveals where our research is going next. I was fascinated to […]

Combining advances in display technologies, holographic imaging, and artificial intelligence, engineers at Stanford say they have produced a leap forward for augmented reality. The post AI and Holography Bring 3D Augmented Reality to Regular Glasses appeared first on Semiconductor Digest .

Augmented reality (AR) has become pervasive, blending virtual content with real-world scenes. Waveguide-based AR displays have emerged as a critical technology for wearable AR systems, enabling lightweight, slim form factors and high optical performance. Waveguide combiners, which function as light guides, fold the optical path and replicate luminosity from a small light source across an [..] The…

MicroLED assembly is coming to mass commercialization soon and Indium Corporation, as a solder supplier, is ready for this new LED-augmented reality. In my previous blogs regarding the differences between miniLEDs and microLEDs, I’ve mentioned how difficult it is to assemble devices with these display systems. The post Miniaturization in LED Technology: MicroLED Augmented Reality appeared first o…

Classroom environments have transformed in the last few decades. Chalkboards have become interactive whiteboards and handwritten transparencies on overhead projectors are now high-resolution document cameras or screen-sharing technology. These changes were all made in an effort to solve problems, such as being unable to read a professor's handwriting or show videos to large audiences. But what ha…
