Making vision better: improving AR/MR cameras and micro display systems that replicate the true human eye experience

AR smart glasses and MR head-mounted device manufacturers face several challenges in their quest to improve image capture and video passthrough cameras that deliver slow, grainy, power-hungry and nauseous user experiences which deter user adoption. Tradeoffs between resolution, brightness, size and motion-blur effects in micro display projection also hamper advancements in these head-worn waveguide devices. The solution – proprietary polymer-based tunable optics technology delivering ultra-small, super-fast, ultra-low power consuming and constant field-of-view that truly replicates the human eye experiences. This technology brings unique passive athermalisation benefits to autofocus cameras, while wobulator pixel-shifting technology delivers the same benefits, resolving trade-offs without disrupting the micro-display architecture. Pierre Craen, CTO of poLight ASA, will share key insights on the camera imaging and micro display issues hindering the AR/MR industry, as well as innovative ideas to address future challenges. As the leading provider of tunable optics technology, poLight is well positioned in the AR/MR device industry.
