How Laser Beam Scanning Addresses Key Requirements to Deliver Lightweight, Fashionable, Long-wearing AR Smart Glasses.

Nov 11

11:20 AM - 12:15 PM

Description

One of the key challenges for augmented reality is the development of ultra-compact, lightweight, low-power near-to-eye display solutions with good image quality. Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) technologies shows great promise to meet these key requirements and deliver form-factors that enable light weight, fashionable, all-day wearable AR smart glasses with the ability to scale resolution and field-of-view (FoV) with low power consumption.

However, to enable the development of devices, products and solutions a broad range of technologies needs to converge holistically which necessities the need for an ecosystem. Towards that end the LaSAR Alliance was recently created. This non-profit organization seeks to create the environment, platform and structure for companies and organizations to collaborate on solutions that facilitates the growth of the augmented reality market.

In this panel, experts from leading companies, and LaSAR Alliance members, (including ST, OSRAM, AMAT, Dispelix and Oqmented) developing the critical technology bricks come together to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and the outlook for LBS solutions enabling near-to-eye displays for integration into all day wearable devices.

Learn how Medtronic built a framework to introduce Augmented Reality (AR) to their teams. The goal is to involve and align different stakeholders by showing AR-as-a-solution instead of technology hype. William Harding, Peter Tortorici (both Medtronic)and Dirk Schart (REFLEKT) will use the example of Training Guides to show the framework and impact of the solution.

Medtronic’s AR Training Guides reduce onboarding times by 50%.They will deep dive into the operator onboarding with the example of the EPIX use case to show you exactly how the switch to AR Training guides transformed the way they work in their facilities.What’s more, they will give you the full understanding of how Medtronic made it to their scaled rollout – all the way from the initial problem and project planning, to pilot, and then full deployment as well as the results they are now seeing.Here's what we will talk about:

• Medtronic Use case – Why were AR Training Guides deployed?
• Daily Usage – See what the Medtronic AR Training Guides look like and how operators use them in a normal day
• Benefits – What results are the facilities seeing after implementing AR Training Guides
• Framework - How easy is it to enable teams to use new technologies?

Leading head-mounted displays deliver immersive visuals and audio, but they’re packaged with plastic controllers that are designed for gaming. Enterprise and government VR users need to use their hands naturally and feel what they see. The success of mission-critical VR applications in VR often depends on having sufficient realism and accuracy. Learn how a new generation of wearable products deliver true-contact haptics through a combination of detailed tactile feedback, force-feedback exoskeletons, and sub-millimeter motion tracking. Hear how application developers for enterprise and government have embraced this technology to improve virtual training, design, education and even robotics.
