Advances in research have made strides in the improvement of wearable and AR/VR displays
MicroLEDs are the ‘hot, new vital building blocks’ for augmented and mixed reality, attendees of SPIE’s AR VR MR conference heard in February
The agreement between EPIC and the VR/AR Association (VRARA) aims to strengthen both the photonics and augmented/virtual reality industries
Microsoft’s Bernard Kress, who chaired the AR/VR/MR industry days at Photonics West, considers the optimal design for augmented and mixed reality headsets
Fraunhofer FEP scientists have developed a new micropatterning approach for OLEDs on silicon substrates, which could potentially eliminate the use of colour filters and shadow masks and allow full-colour displays to be developed by means of a new process
More than 300 key stakeholders were present at Photonics21’s AGM, where speakers from the European Commission discussed how to advance digital development across Europe
A single metalens capable of focusing the entire visible spectrum of light to a single point and in high resolution has been developed by a team of researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Smart surgical tools will significantly improve the accuracy of operations, according to speakers at the European Photonic Industry Consortium’s recent AGM, and photonics will play a key role. Matthew Dale reports
Greg Blackman reports from a Photonics West panel discussion on virtual reality, where headset optical design will be instrumental for giving a better user experience
