I moderated a panel at the recent AWE conference that took place a couple of weeks ago in Long Beach, California. The panel featured Karl Guttag from KGOnTech, Adi Robertson from the Verve, Jeri Ellsworth from Tilt Five, and Ed Tang from Avegant.The session was titled: Current State and Future Direction of AR Glasses and the session description reads:A panel of experts will discuss the current and future state of AR spatial computing devices, given the influence of the new Vision Pro world. Has the Vision Pro influenced the XR industry to change the direction of the development of consumer-oriented devices? If so, what should those new directions be, and what limitations are there to implement them? The discussion will center upon examining the technical development of spatial computing with light weight glasses and the roles that they should now have.You can find a video version of the session on the AWE Youtube channel, but presented here is an audio version I cleaned up a bit.You can also find the show notes at thearshow.com.Links From The Episode- Panelist: Jeri Ellsworth of Tilt Five- Panelist: Adi Robertson of The Verge- Panelist: Karl Guttag of KGOnTech- Panelist: Ed Tang of Avegant- Breakdown: Karl outlined the panel discussion and added extra detail in a blog post.- Video: AWE PANEL: Current State and Future Direction of AR Glasses

Huge robots, including a seven-metre two-tonne vessel named Ran, are on their way to the Thwaites Glacier to learn more about the retreating ice and its impact on Climate Change. But this won't be the only tech that's being deployed on the 65-day mission; British Antarctic Survey's Boaty McBoatface and the Autosub Long Range vehicle operated by the National Oceanography Centre in the UK, will travel under the ice shelf along with Ran. Professor Anna Wåhlin from the University of Gothenburg tells us more about her robot Ran and about the data she'll be collecting. Tiny light engines We're talking to Ed Tang, the CEO of Avegant. They're the company behind the world's smallest light engines for augmented reality. Developing projectors thinner than the width of a pencil means we're on the brink of AR glasses that will barely look different from standard glasses. Alongside talking about how this technology works, Ed also spoke to us about what this means for the future of AR. James Webb telescope tech Space journalist Kate Arkless-Gray is live on the show to tell us about the tech that got the James Webb Telescope into space and how vital it is that none of the tech deployed goes wrong - unlike the Hubble space telescope, repair missions to James Webb are impossible. The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Ghislaine Boddington.

Edward Tang is the co-founder and CEO of Avegant, a company building next-generation display technologies for augmented reality experiences.Prior to Avegant, Ed spent nearly 15 years working in microfabrication and MEMs technologies, including 5 years focused on applying MEMs to brain-control interfaces. (MEMs stands for micro-electromechanical system, which is basically a teeny tiny machine that has both mechanical and electronic components.)The startup Avegant has been around for several years and initially came to prominence with their Glyph product, which was a head-worn display that served as a portable second screen.Recently Ed and his team have been focused on the underlying display technology. He comes at it from the perspective of trying to match the quirks of the human visual system.In this conversation, Ed helps us appreciate some of the surprising ways our eyes and brain work to stitch together our perception of reality based on some limited and sporadic data. Ed and his team are using this insight to guide them in creating better displays for smartglasses.Avegant’s is creating a new type of foveated display, which enables a high-quality visual experience over a wide field of view in a way that doesn’t require a lot of pixels or compute power. They’re also creating the software development and rendering pipeline to match.This is a fascinating conversation with try-at-home experiments to understand how our brains work.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.

Our eyes can change focus, much like a camera, but most current technology is limited and can only project images with a fixed focus. But what if your virtual reality experience was as immersive as real life? Avegant is one of the leading companies in such high performance display technology. With their wearable video and audio headsets, they aim to make visual displays more compatible with our eyes to create a memorable and lifelike experience. This immersive technology has applications not only in education, but in other industries as well; their technology has even been used by the Department of Defense. We spoke with Ed Tang, CTO of Avegant, to learn more about light field technologies and their applications in education.

Künstliche vs. reale Intelligenz: Tobias ist zurück, ersetzt den ihn ersetzenden Tobibot zurück und bringt reichlich Eindrücke von der Augmented World Expo für den VRODOCAST #63 mit. Meta 2 Hands-On Die Augmented-Reality-Brille Meta 2 ist derzeit der einzige ernstzunehmende Konkurrent für Microsofts Hololens. Oder auch nicht: Tobias hat nach seinem Test auf der Augmented World Expo 2017 ernsthafte Zweifel an der Produktqualität. Das Display schneidet zwar gut ab und wird nicht von einem zu engen Sichtfeld zurückgehalten wie Hololens. Allerdings offenbart das Tracking der Brille und die Gestenerkennung einige Schwächen. Tobias geht ins Detail und schildert seine Eindrücke aus einer Demonstration. Demos zur Meta 2: https://vrodo.de/augmented-reality-neue-demos-zur-meta-2-besser-als-hololens/ Avegant Lichtfelddisplay Das größte Problem der VR- und AR-Industrie ist die fehlende Innovation bei den Displays und Darstellungsverfahren. Das Unternehmen Avegant verspricht die Lösung in Form eines neuen LIchtfelddisplays. “Normale Displays halten die gesamte Mixed-Reality-Industrie zurück”, sagt Avegant Mitgründer Edward Tang. “Wir haben die Lösung.” Auf der AWE 2017 hatte Tobias Gelegenheit, durch die Linsen eines Prototyps einen Blick ins Lichtfeld zu werfen. Das größte Alleinstellungsmerkmal des Displays sind die verschiedenen Fokalebenen. Anders als in aktuellen VR- und AR-Brillen kann man den Blick sowohl auf weiter entfernte als auch auf nahe Objekte richten und diese fokussieren. Der Hintergrund wird dann wie in der Realität unscharf. Tobias ist begeistert, wie gut das funktioniert.

Is Virtual Reality the Next Big Thing in Home Theater? Many of us are constantly on the lookout for the next big thing in Home Theater. When the HDTV revolution hit, we couldn't get enough. Then there was HD-DVD and Blu-ray, followed by a flop or two, like 3D. Right now it looks like it might be 4K HD. But what if 3D was just the precursor to the real next big thing, Virtual Reality. What is Virtual Reality? When you think Virtual Reality, you probably imagine yourself on the holodeck of the USS Enterprise, hanging out, perhaps, in the old west with Captain Picard. That's the idea, but we probably won't see that full implementation anytime soon. The wikipedia definition is: “a computer-simulated environment that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds.” It's you, inside the movie or the game, playing or watching from within - and being an active participant. Current Technology A company called Oculus VR is building a VR mask you can wear, called the Oculus Rift. It resembles a black, blacked-out ViewMaster you strap to your head. Once you've strapped on your VR goggles, you're instantly transported into whatever world, time or place you can image. It's like 3D, if the 3D didn't stop at the edge of the screen. We haven't used the device ourselves, but have seen similar demonstrations at CES in the past, and it's pretty cool. Oculus VR is very focused on the gaming market, and that makes sense. It's really the only technology that could embrace Virtual Reality anytime soon. The vision is to let gamers feel like they're really driving the car, throwing the ball or carrying the gun through the battlefield. Imagine taking the microsoft Kinect technology to the next level. Instead of just having your body control the action you see on screen, your body controls the action you see all around you, the action you're right on the middle of. Another company, called Avegant, is building a wearable Virtual Reality headset that projects images directly onto your retina. At first this sounds painful, then scary, then super futuristic and cool. It's like beaming images directly into your brain. A technology like this requires very precise alignment, which is why most companies aren't pursuing it. But Avegant thinks they have it down. If they do, the visual experience will be unparalleled because the beamed image should cover your entire visual experience. Limitations Processing power is an issue for current Virtual Reality systems, and would prove to be very challenging if anyone tried to scale it to a large format like the holodeck. It takes a lot of CPU and graphics processing to produce what amounts to any potential view of any reality at any time. The computational decisions on what to render, and the graphics ability to render it in real-time are a big limiting factor in how pervasive VR can become, even for gaming. Like 3D for home theater, VR also suffers from physical side-effects like motion sickness and headaches. In the industry it is known as simulation sickness. Like motion sickness, it occurs when your brain and body don't agree on what's actually going on. You brain senses movement, but your body doesn't. This can lead to some serious queesyness. And of course, there's the issue of space. If you've played a Wii or used the XBox360 with Kinect, you know it's easy to run out of space pretty quickly. This isn't an issue if you happen to be driving a car or flying a plane, but if you're running through a battlefield, or across a football field - how do you run without really running? How do you get from here to there, when ‘there' is bigger than the room you're in? Applications for Home Theater When you imagine watching a movie as if you were in the film itself, it sounds amazing, until you start to look at the limitations. But there may be ways to introduce Virtual Reality concepts into home theater and make it work. It could be like what 3D should be - the movie is actually occurring all around you. Movement might be tricky, and there may be some scenes where placing the viewer would be tricky or awkward, but that's solvable. Imagine if, when a character walked onscreen, the actually walked right past you.  Or if something was going on to the left, or to the right, or above, you could turn your head to get a better view. There may be some movies that VR wouldn't be good for. It sounds cool for action films like Saving Private Ryan, but would you really want to be that close to the action? Sometimes viewing from a distance, as a removed observer, is the only way to reasonably experience something. Most of us wouldn't really want to storm the beach at Normandy and see the devastation that close. But for nature documentaries, like we see on Discovery or NatGeo, sitting in the middle of a pack of lions or walking inside an ant colony, it could be amazing. Sports could be fun in Virtual Reality as well.  The amount of cameras required to make it happen is probably unfeasible. But it would be great if you could move closer to a play on the football field. Or place yourself on second base to watch a baseball game. Do your own replay on something you saw and move around to get a better view. Or zoom closer to see it first hand. These are all things Oculus VR and Avegant are trying to enable for gaming, but maybe, in the future, we'll be able to apply them to home theater as well.
