Enhancing Vision with Lynx: The Future of Assistive Technology for Low Vision

Jun 1

03:00 PM - 03:25 PM

Description

After over a decade searching for mixed reality smart glasses capable of enhancing his low vision, legally blind Chris McNally walked into the Paris offices of Lynx with his blind cane and sighted guide, and met founder Stan Larroque.

After putting on the Lynx R1, Chris’ world was transformed making it possible for him to see tables, chairs and other obstacles in the room and the expressions on people’s faces during conversations - all impossible moments before. Was it magic? No, just the right combination of technology capabilities to meet the needs of Chris’ low vision.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg, as advancements in smart glasses hardware, software and MR/AR/XR technologies, along with advancing AI and more, will create incredible opportunities for people with low vision.

Digital Twins connect physical systems with virtual representations and models to allow for visual representations, integration of sensor data, and predictive capabilities for how assets or processes will behave in the future. Globally, organizations are grappling with the acceleration of remote operations and an increasingly prevalent skills gap. Forward-looking companies are addressing this problem by equipping their in-person, hybrid, and off-site teams with mixed reality (MR) solutions that enhance productivity capabilities especially when integrated with Digital Twins. In this session, learn how Sphere and AWS are working together to develop a digital workspace which enables professionals to communicate across languages, distances, dimensions, and time (with predictive capabilities). By partnering on initiatives which include TwinMaker and Lookout for Vision, as well as cloud rendering powered by AWS and its partners, Sphere’s cutting-edge solution is pioneering the future of collaboration, as well as expert assistance and workflow guidance using MR.

Zheng Qin has since 2018 developed the cutting edge, wide FoV AR optics system called Mixed Waveguide, with the most advanced Crossfire solution that gives you a 120-degree FoV and is interchangeable between AR and VR. It’s even slimmer than most VR optics (including the Pancake solutions), so it could be the ultimate optical solution for AR & VR hybrid glasses. Zheng will walk you through the reasons why Crossfire is much better than its competitor Pancake +VST (video see-through) solution. Additionally, Zheng will introduce the whole family of Mixed Waveguide solutions, which has been adopted by many key clients around the world.
