Researchers from EPFL’s Laboratory of Applied Photonic Devices, led by Christophe Moser, in collaboration with Jesper Glückstad’s team at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), have revealed a breakthrough in 3D printing.

Sanyo Chemical, a global manufacturer and supplier of performance chemicals based in Kyoto, Japan, has launched HILUCIS, a UV-curable nanoimprint resin designed to enhance the development of next-generation optical devices for Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc (NASDAQ: WiMi), a global hologram augmented reality (AR) technology provider, has announced the development of a hybrid CPU- FPGA quantum AI simulator.

As was evident by the number of booths displaying augmented reality (AR) glasses and AR head-up displays (HUDs) at CES 2024, the two technologies are set to make a big impact in the consumer electronics market. These cutting-edge technologies share many similarities, but also exhibit distinct differences. A recent blog post by UK-based Envisics1 compares and contrasts the two technologies, with particular focus on their use of holographic optical elements (HOEs).

Researchers are one step closer to a new era of immersive displays as they use holography to blend the real and virtual worlds that can be viewed through ordinary eyeglasses. This advance, spearheaded by Princeton University researchers and reported on the university website, promises to revolutionise how we experience visual media.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a full-colour 3D display method that utilises a smartphone screen rather than a laser to create holographic images. With further development, the new method can be used for augmented reality displays.

Lighting has long been acknowledged as a key element in shaping the atmosphere of any event, and recent advances in technology have brought innovative approaches to transform spaces into captivating 3D experiences.

Researchers from the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford and University College London have developed an advanced augmented reality (AR) holographic system that projects 4K video using LiDAR point clouds, specifically designed for automotive head-up displays.

The stakes are high in the race for lightweight, energy efficient waveguides for smart glasses. In this article adapted from ZDNet, Israeli augmented reality optics company Lumus explains why it believes its range of reflective 2D waveguide technology beats the diffractive competition.

Dr Alan Hodgson, a consultant in technologies for secure documents, looks at the implications of the evolution of the Metaverse from the perspective of holography and 3D displays.
