The XR industry might be going through tough times right now, but photonics advances continue to make headway in this exciting field, finds Benjamin Skuse
The emergence of mass-market consumer augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) products will be huge for photonics development, believes Jörg Reitterer.
‘This disruptive technology has the potential to replace other products, which are ubiquitous today, such as smartphones, smartwatches, headphones, and any other display systems like TVs and monitors,’ he said.
