Extended reality (XR) is a rapidly growing industry and the next logical step in the evolution of wearable technology. However, prior to becoming truly mainstream, there are still several significant challenges that need to be addressed first. These include: a large visual field, see-through, distortion free optics and obtaining a lightweight, compact form factor to allow extended wear, just to name a few.
Virtual retinal display (VRD) technology is a promising approach to AR that could help overcome these and several other fundamental challenges (such as the Vergence-Accommodation conflict). VRDs create images directly on the retina, which allows for a much more compact and lightweight device. To achieve an optimal VRD user experience, one must account for eye movements to constantly keep the projected image in the center of vision. This can be achieved by combining VRD with precise retinal (blood vessels) eye-tracking (RET) to provide a more immersive and natural AR experience.
In this talk, we will discuss the potential of VRD and RET to break the barriers of AR. We’ll start by identifying the challenges that the AR industry is currently facing, and then explain how VRD coupled with RET can help to address these challenges. We will also mention some of the unique, potential applications of VRD with RET in AR. We believe that VRD with RET have the potential to revolutionize the AR industry. By overcoming the challenges of size, comfort, and several others, VRD and RET could make AR wearables that are truly convenient and practical for all day use. This would open up a whole new world of possibilities for AR, and it could help make AR a part of our everyday lives.
