Dustin Dwyer on his “All Things Considered” podcasts talks about the impact glass has on our lives, and how it can play a major role in the future of AR displays, such as DigiLens’ AutoHUD for cars.
The resolution of today’s VR headsets might sound high on paper, but because the image is stretched across a wide field of view, resolution in today’s headsets is still significantly lacking compared to what you’d expect from a typical computer monitor, and even further from what the human eye is actually capable of.
A lot of changes are happening in the world of augmented reality. While the current headsets are very bulky at best, there is some progress courtesy of DigiLens.
Pilots flying the Embraer Legacy 450 and 500 business jets are among the first to be using an augmented reality-based technology within their head-up displays (HUDs). The technology, waveguide optics, is designed by Silicon Valley-based DigiLens and now in production at Rockwell Collins on its HGS-3500 HUDs.
DigiLens, a developer of transparent waveguide display technology, is creating a reference headset aimed at wide FOV AR with hand-tracking, dubbed AR HUD. The company showed the first glimpse of the headset at AWE USA 2018.
