  1. I don't how exactly the SLM works, but I assume it displays the diffraction pattern which could be activated as a 3d image of the target object, by a laser of particular wavelength, is that what it does? If so, how bad is the workload? Computing a light field isn't easy, or is it?

  2. This is a fascinating development. But I imagine a head mounted unit would still need to have the display somewhere to feed the waveguides. This would still require a (potentially much more comfortably placed) display unit somewhere on your head… Or is the plan to have the image source entirely outboard, using very long guide cables?

  3. Very nice, would work indoors or outdoors if Hologram glasses where thin but blocked light , And had cameras showing more views then the eyes could see. Wide view cameras with telescoping camera's, are even on the best smartphones allready. We just need a few designs with camera bumps like forehead camera's connected, something with more views people would always use. Warnings for moving objects and so on as well.

  4. That looks amazing. I couldn't get my head around this though :D, with this many surface bounces before reaching eye, wont the brightness be incredibly low? I sounds like the micro oled display will have to be extremely high nits?

  5. I Hope it will not end as other similar projects… NVIDIA already had some good ideas and the implementation never came to the market (as for example stacking LCD panels to significantly increase resolution..)

  6. Im a smooth brain but I can appreciate the insane levels of intelligence and work needed to do this. Incredible work
