Maybe I didn't make the point well in the article. It is very limited to special cases when they limit the IBIS pixel shift to in-camera processing with only a JPEG output. The camera should take pictures with the IBIS fractional pictu

Well, they put a full-size HDMI port on the R5 mk. II if that is all you are worried about.

Good catch on the "combined with custom catadioptric lenses." Which by definition means a combination of mirrors and refractive optics. But I still don't think they are pancake lenses, but something more akin to what Limbak,

You are correct that MR today implies that the Virtual image is locked to the real world with some form of SLAM. I was a bit sloppy in that regards. I was more worried about what was going on. But when combined with the word "passthro

If you are talking for many "game playing" applications you may be correct. But it be ridiculous to thing that people are going to be going out in public with a VR headset with cameras (known as Passthrough AR). On top of a number

Yes, I took the picture of Avegant used in the article. The Avegant and Dispelix waveguide combination looks pretty good. It is only a prototype without any tracking/slam. It is a display only demonstration by a component company. I wa

As you wrote, I don't follow VR. That said, I'm very skeptical that a VR headset will work in place of a computer monitor for long term use with business computing.

I think this is a "grass is greener" type argument. There are also massive problems with pass-through AR (VR with cameras).

I don't think the issue is color. Their original product was trying to differentiate on Vergence Accommodation Conflict (VAC) and did a poor job of it. They were also going after the consumer with a product that was always going to be

I think we need to see Kura actually demonstrate that their technology works. You might want to see this video (queued to his discussion of Kura at CES 2022: https://youtu.be/S0heZVN5NCs?t=1328

While the market is "hot" in terms of awareness, it is still a very small market facing major technical challenges. I think AR while useful in enterprise markets (measured in the 100's of thousands a year) is a long way from

They seems to have done some good things. Sadly in AR as well as many high tech markets, it is possible to have a great technical achievement but miss the market requirements. The dimming feature caused them to lose at least 70% of the real

Thanks, The rumor mill is that Microsoft has slowed down development of HL3 development with many people leaving. Most famously, Bernard Kress, and optical architect of Hololens 1 and 2 has left for Google. There were very few Magic Leap On

As others have said, that is probably not the best use of Tilt-5's technology. No matter how you move your head, it is still 1280x768 pixels spread over 110 degrees. Doing a little math, that is only about 13 pixels per degree or 4.5 a

The patents show as Assigned to J.P. Morgan Chase. I'm not a lawyer, but I think it was done this way so the I.P. would immediately become J.P. Morgan Chase's in the case of default. We don't have access to the contract betwe

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding that the effectively J.P. Morgan now owns the patents (unless a court somehow unwinds the deal) and why the assignment was registered with the USPTO. The patents are then being licensed back to Ma

Using patents to secure loans is not new. Most Famously Tesla did it. What makes it "news" is that Magic Leap was able to raise $2.6 Billion without having to resort to using the I.P. as collateral. It usually does not make the pr

Thanks for providing the link to the archive. I have up the capacity, but when the cite hits #1 on Hacker News (as it is right now), it looks like the traffic is still overwhelming. It probably does not help that I put the larger associated

Thanks, There are so many hits on the site that it got throttled. I just upgrade the hosting plan to hopefully solve the problems, but I won't take effect until 2AM PDT.

The parallel fiber idea is "optically silly" but it takes some understanding of light to prove it is impossible too. It is yet another example of trying to fool people. I did try and explain this before on my blog over a year ago.

Objective is often in the eye of the beholder. I do express opinion, but I try to back them up with evidence. The Fiber Scanning Display is in a whole different category. This looks like pure lying on Magic Leap's part. In this particu

Sorry if that was not clear, but what you said was the point I was trying to make. People today are all the time waving their hands and invoking "Moore's Law" and saying "Steve Job did this" and applying it to every

I would tend to agree and why I put it in quotes in my article. It it is not as egregious as M/S Hololens calling what they are doing "Holograms" and everyone knows it but they are all calling mixed reality objects Holograms
