Augmented Reality -- UPDATED

There's a LOT of stuff out now suddenly about Augmented Reality. It was off the public's radar until Pokemon Go, and now there's a lot of buzz.

It's only a matter of time before those digging hard about it discover the great position Microvision has in the field.

Check out the Definition from Apple Insider -- "A layer of digital information overlaid onto the physical world" is exactly what PicoP does.

So, when we go portable -- to play augmented reality games with portable devices -- things like this can be done. ( I still haven't found the one article that was posted recently that caught my eye.) 


Apple Insider

Distilled to its most basic elements, augmented reality can be described as [a] layer of digital information overlaid onto the physical world, like the camera and screen interface used in Pokémon Go. More immersive technology relies on specialized transparent displays, though these exotic solutions are still in their infancy and as such come at a high price. A number of tech companies are investing in the space, including Google's Glass product and Facebook's Oculus Rift platform.

When visiting CES I showed the PicoPro to the Eos Folks and they REALLY like the projector.

Something to watch...Smart Connectors -- iPhone7

Here's another something to watch.

There has been an absolute blizzard of rumors about the iPhone7 -- rumors on all sides of it, with a great deal of conflicting information. In past product cycles, when we're this close to the release, and photos like this are revealed there tends to be something to it.

"smart connectors" like this are found on the new component bearing Motorola phone. So, my guess is that this particular model of the iPhone would have similar components. (a guess, folks) 

The images also do NOT show the kind of home button that the Qualper phone has (Which was a theory based on a written description.)

To me, at this point, this is merely something that should be paid attention to.

Look at the bottom of the image on the right.
