Hololens Reality News


Based on its continued research, it appears Microsoft recognizes that the next HoloLens needs a wider field of view (FoV). Based on a recently-revealed documentation, the company's research team has found another way to accomplish that objective.

A patent application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Dec. 2016 and published on June 21 describes a method for enlarging FoV on a near-eye display using a microelectromechanical (MEMS) laser scanner.

*************

However, one supplier of MEMS laser scanner displays, MicroVision, announced last April that it had secured a $24 million development contract with a major technology company to produce such a display system.


"We believe the LBS display markets have tremendous opportunity for growth, and we are extremely pleased that a major technology company has decided to work with MicroVision and our PicoP scanning technology in the development of its product," said Alexander Tokman, president and CEO of MicroVision. "We believe that our systems expertise and the ability of our patented LBS technology to create a display that produces high resolution images from a low power, small form factor engine were key contributors to winning this business."

Foxconn...Wisconsin

CNBC

• A groundbreaking for a massive $10 billion Foxconn factory complex in Wisconsin was supposed to be evidence that the manufacturing revival fueled by President Donald Trump's "America First" policy is well underway.

Should Foxconn employ 13,000 workers as envisioned, it would be the largest private-sector employer in Wisconsin.

"Foxconn's state-of-the-art products will be made in the U.S.A. — proudly in the state of Wisconsin!" Walker tweeted Tuesday

Driverless

There are a lot of people who don't want to trust themselves in driverless cars, but they will trust their groceries.

One of the things that is a big problem with driverless vehicles is that scenarios have to be programmed into it where it "chooses" what to do when it has no good options. (Like the Trolly problem, where you can kill four by doing one thing, or one if you choose to intervene.)

A driverless vehicle on the road will be more tolerable if it's programmed to sacrifice itself no matter what, defer to other traffic, no matter what, etc.

Saw these bots in a smaller version at CES. Very good idea -- could significantly increase the productivity 

Such devices are going to need sensors, and probably video in and out as well.


CNBC

Kroger announced plans Thursday to partner with driverless car company Nuro to deliver groceries using its autonomous vehicles.

The partnership comes as the U.S.'s largest grocery players continue to tackle the expensive challenge of "last mile delivery" — the final step in getting a product to a shopper's home. It is a feat that is particularly perilous when dealing with fragile products like fresh food. It is further complicated by populations that vary wildly across the U.S, with some far less dense that others.

Hololens -- MS Power User, Patent, etc.

A few people have forwarded this link to me and the link from the Reddit board about this patent.

MSpoweruser.com

"Microsoft has not made it a secret that they are working on HoloLens v2, and has been explicit about the improved Holographic Processing Unit and improved Kinect-based Depth Sensing Unit.

What Microsoft has not talked about much however has been the optics of the device, but now a new patent suggests Microsoft may have achieved the breakthrough they have been after."

Patent

I appreciate the enthusiasm and being alerted to things, but this doesn't change my outlook at all. (because of course we're eventually going to be in there.) I've appreciated all the tips from a lot of people over a period of years.

Microvision produces the best near eye displays out there, so of course they're going to use it -- and so are Apple, Facebook and Google... and Meta and Vuzix, and ODG and Magic Leap....

This is is another bit of evidence being added to an already large amount of evidence that supports the idea that Microvision will be included in Hololens and other AR/MR devices.

(There are already many patents from Microsoft that cite Microvision's PicoP display... and many from other places)

Object Centric Mixed Reality
Mixed Reality to XBox


Microvision's near eye displays are going to dominate, because they're the best.

At CES I made an effort to try every near eye display out there. Some are pretty good -- but I've also tried Microvision's (Microvision's OLD display --- and it blows away everything else out there. They aren't even close.)

I've tried Hololens in its current form. I've tried Meta, Vuzix, Epson, ODG, at least two forms of Oculus, and the Skully Helmet.  (The only one I wanted to try that I haven't been able to is Magic Leap)

As far as the display is concerned what they're showing SUCKS next to MicroVision's near eye display. 

Laser is the solution. Ghosting is a serious problem and Microvision solves that.

Those companies that are building Augmented Reality and Mixed reality. -- They're working on interface, content, etc. Microvision is going to be the display everywhere because it's the best. It's that simple.

Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft.... Vuzix, Skully, ODG, Meta.. they're all going to use Microvision's displays. 

They're ALL working on products that need near eye displays. 

The technology and software they have developed is amazing. None of these devices is just a display, they're all surrounding technology. They need a better display though. 

The breadcrumbs clearly lead in this direction. The evidence has been building for a long time.

That's all we need.

BTW Sharp/Foxconn (my best guess and I'm fairly confident in it) is going to make tons of phones and other devices with projection. (TV that fits in your pocket?) The first generation that they have the exclusive contract for, is going to make entertainment and education available to billions of people.

3D Sensing

Medium

Was posted on Reddit, scraped to be sure it can be retained, looking for a translation of the slides.

The Face ID feature of Apple's iPhone X has raised the industry's concern for 3D sensing. Not only Apple, but also large companies including Microsoft, Intel, Google, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments are competing to invest in the development of 3D sensing. What is the principle? What are the industry chain? What are the applications and opportunities in the future? The science and technology research institute, Consolidated Science and Technology, made a simple analysis with charts.

The most important and difficult part of 3D sensing technology lies in the ability to accurately measure distances. Each algorithm has different patent barriers, and each component of the 3D sensing module has slight differences.


In addition to Stereo Vision basically using a smart phone with a dual-lens design, either structured light or fly-by-range ranging technologies require IR transmitters, receiver modules, and RGB modules. Now, as soon as you hear 3D sensing, VCSELs will be mentioned. It is actually the source of IR light for the module.

3D sensing has a wide range of applications. In addition to biometrics, home automation, robots, wearable devices, computers, games, televisions, and automobiles are all fields where 3D sensing can be applied.

From the point of view of smart phones alone, the business opportunities for 3D sensing began last year with iPhone X and is expected to slowly ferment.

TrendForce Technology

TrendForce is a professional research institution that provides in-depth market analysis and industry consulting services. It is also an industry information media platform. Today, there are more than 500,000 registered members globally, and they are gathered from various emerging and technology industry circles.

Max resolution?

Interesting article, primarily about changing properties of materials.

It does answer a different question for PicoP Technology.

I have often wondered what the maximum resolution of an image drawn with PicoP would be, and thought we might be close to maximum. 

Recently Microvision has announced a new High Resolution Mems Scanner. 

When does physics kick in and make it impossible to be better?

I have thought that the most significant upper limit would have something to do with how fast a laser can be turned off and on.

This may help get a ball-park on that upper limit.

Each pixel from PicoP is drawn individually. The mirror moves in a raster pattern and as it does, the lasers turn off or on as necessary to generate the correct color -- one pixel at a time.

So to do the math they have to be able to turn a laser off and on for each pixel of the image.

Recently they shipped samples of the next generation scanner.


MicroVision Ships Samples of Next Generation of High-Resolution MEMS Scanner

“The new MEMS scanner utilizes two mirrors, an ultra-flat piezo-electric 2mm diameter mirror, combined with a magnetic 6x5mm mirror, to achieve industry leading resolution of 2560 x 1440 for laser beam scanned displays. Providing users with a flicker-free experience, the new scanner operates at 120Hz.."

So, doing the math... 

To see how many time a laser may change in a second, we need to know how many pixels, and how many frames per second: 2560x1440 = 3,686,400 pixels. At 120 Hz the projector will be potentially changing the laser more than half a billion times per second. (589,824,000)

So, what would be the upper end resolution?

Rochester.edu

 but you will be able to generate currents faster than ever before,” Franco says. “You will be able to develop electronic circuits a few billionths of a meter long [nanoscale] that operate in a millionth of a billionth of a second [femtosecond] time scale. 

1,000,000 * 1,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000 (That's millionth of a billionth time scale.)

8K at 120Hz = 3,981,312,000 pixels per second.

At a millionth of a billionth of a second that could be accomplished 251,000 times over.

I realize there are a LOT more factors at play, such as the precision of the scan, the time it takes to apply current to a laser before one gets light from it, and how long after current stops until the light stops as well, but given this, I suspect that display clarity will improve for a long time to come. (And each improvement will be a new product cycle)

Of course, by the time this limitation is reached, the ability to use multiple projectors at the same time to tile the image should be much improved, resulting in probably no limits.

Hololens Update

Later this year. MVIS has "advanced ToF" sensors, and the best near-eye displays.

While this article states that it's at least through the second version, I have zero doubts about the future of the technology.

There are three reasons for zero doubts: 

1) Absolutely incredible gaming. (You think Pokemon Go got big?)
2) Amazing increase in productivity (From Here)
3) Training and education opportunity

Kipman on Hololens

Kinect lives: the Kinect for Azure. Microsoft’s latest take on Kinect is a connected device with onboard compute, access to Azure AI, an advanced time of flight (ToF) sensor, RGB camera, 360-degree mic array, and accelerometer. Microsoft asks developers to use it and help build an ambient intelligence.


Kipman told the audience that the HoloLens lived a perilous existence throughout its early development, which began back in 2007. He said the period between 2010 and 2016 in its incubation period was the most dangerous. “HoloLens was always on the chopping block,” but Kipman now sees that process as a necessary part of product development. The HoloLens developers had to fight for their project every day, said Kipman.

Today, the HoloLens is assured life through at least a second version. While Kipman was speaking at LiveWorx, rumors about the due date for the HoloLens 2 leaked out of Microsoft HQ. It is said, the lighter and less expensive version will be announced later this year and will arrive in 2019. It’s also being reported that the HoloLens 2 will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 processor. This processor has already been picked up by HTC for their Vive; Pico (which debuted its Neo headset at E3), and Vuzix.

Elevator Maintenance

The new face of reliable elevator maintenance

The building manager is anxious – she wants an update. In front of the elevator she finds a technician, a metallic band and shaded glasses partially covering his face, he moves his hands through empty space. Wait – are we in a film? No. This is the real-life story of modern service, coming soon to an elevator near you.

The technician wears Microsoft HoloLens, mixed-reality glasses. This new tool places all the data culled using digital technology directly at the disposal of over 24,000 service engineers. Linked with the Azure IoT-enabled predictive maintenance service MAX, HoloLens will fully bring elevator maintenance services into a new era of optimal reliability.

A virtual desktop in the office and on-site

With HoloLens, the work begins even before arrival on site. As soon as the glasses are on, the technician sees from where a service request has come. A 3-D picture of the elevator pops up. Parts can be enlarged and looked at from all angles, so it is possible to immediately visualize and identify problems.

Once on site, the HoloLens displays a virtual desktop with an overview of the task orders, the latest safety alerts and the historical notes on what has happened with the elevator before. And with the laptop a thing of the past, it all happens hands-free, allowing a unique freedom of movement and safety.

Even a video call can be voice activated, so another engineer can remotely view what the technician is seeing on site, and they can discuss a solution together.

Eye Tracking Has The Potential To Completely Change AR And VR"

Eye Tracking Technology

Note: Moor Insights & Strategy Analyst Anshel Sag made significant contributions to this blog.

AR and VR are still in the growth phase of development with billions of R&D and content money being poured in annually. A lot of that money is being invested in technologies to improve the experience as the current experience is, well, rough. There is a multitude of technologies that can help the immersive technology industry to move forward with AR and VR. Some of those technologies have to do with the display or wireless communications to make the experience better than it is today. However, one of the most promising technologies that have the potential of helping to solve many problems at once is eye tracking. Eye tracking has the promise of helping to not only help solve human interface problems with AR and VR but also to improve the overall visual quality of AR and VR experiences.  If you want to a deep dive now, please feel free to read our whitepaper (free/no sign up) here.

Eye tracking used today

Eye tracking already exists in many applications today in both consumer and enterprise markets with some of the most publicly-facing implementations being eye tracking for eSports gaming. Companies like Acer, Dell’s Alienware, and MSI have adopted eye-tracking technologies in notebooks and monitors to give eSports viewers the ability to see what professional eSports players are looking at while competing. These technologies eventually waterfall into the final consumer products that can help gamers better understand their behavior and interface with their computers.

Foveated rendering

The use of eye tracking in AR and VR has lots of benefits with one of the first being foveated rendering. As the resolutions of XR (AR, VR, MR) displays continue to increase to add to the realism, there will be a need to not render the entire volume of the pixels on display and only to render what the user sees. Otherwise, having 8K and 16K displays in VR headsets will be virtually impossible to be driven by nearly any GPU in the market in the foreseeable future.

IPD (interpupillary distance)

In addition to foveated rendering, eye position is crucial for AR and VR because the eye position will determine how sharp someone perceives the image on display, regardless of resolution. Eye position includes measurements like IPD (interpupillary distance) which determines how far apart someone’s eyes are from one another, a crucial measurement in ensuring that everyone gets the best possible image quality.

Applicant: Microvision, Inc.

Devices and Methods for Providing Foveated Scanning Laser Image Projection with Depth Mapping

FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to depth mapping, and more particularly relates to depth mapping with scanning laser projectors.

BACKGROUND

[0002] In scanning laser projectors, images are projected by scanning laser light into a pattern, with individual pixels generated by modulating light from laser light sources as a scanning mirror scans the modulated light in the pattern. Depth mapping sensors have been developed to generate 3D maps of surfaces, where the 3D maps describe the variations in depth over the surface.

[0003] Past attempts to combine scanning laser projectors with depth mapping has been constrained by various limitations. For example, past attempts have been limited to providing depth mapping with specific resolutions. Additionally, past attempts to combine laser projection and depth sensing have been constrained by power limitations.

[0004] Furthermore, some previous methods of combing depth mapping and laser projection have had limited flexibility. As such, there remains a need for improved devices to combine scanning laser projectors with depth mapping. And there remains a need for improved devices and methods for depth mapping, and in particular a need for depth mapping and laser projection with improved flexibility.

Abstract

Devices and methods are described herein for providing foveated image projection.

The Future of Near Eye Displays

I've tried on a lot of near-eye displays. None of them even get close to having the display quality Microvision is able to pull off.

This will be amazing, and improve a lot of lives.  -- Because it can make people much more useful almost instantly -- by showing us what to do, accessing information while our hands are full, or calling for backup when we need it.

Most of us, by now have probably used a YouTube Video to learn to do a specific thing.  I recently used this video and saved myself 120 miles of driving a three week wait and about $300.

This will be much better when each step can be done by a mechanic as you watch through their eyes. When you can troubleshoot it at the same time and highlight and point to the right parts on the machine while you're doing it. (the software will be able to tell if the bolt you're working on is stuck, or if you're trying to turn it the wrong way.) Thysenkrup 

Health care can be much improved when a surgeon can take combined imagery from MRI, x-rays and CAT scans, combined into a single 3D model. That's coming. That was the demo of the Hololens I saw, and it was amazing.

The displays I've seen so far leave a lot to be desired, the Microvision display was the best I've seen.

Nichia Turns Focus to LD as LED Growth Slows Down

According to Japanese media Nikkei, major LED manufacturer Nichia Corporation plans to invest around 22 billion Japanese yen (about US$197 million) by the end of 2020 to build a new laser diode (LD) factory at its current production base. LD can be used as a light source for projectors, endoscopes and headlights. The Japanese LED maker’s goal is to increase current LD production capacity by at least three-fold by 2020.

Sharp Increasing Brightness

Thanks Joe & Fuzzie

This supports the Sharp/Foxconn theory. 

That's a lot of Lasers... 

Tech News

Sharp's 14th issued press release announced that it will start volume production in the beginning of October this year to achieve the industry's highest light output of green laser diode (LD, Laser Diode), with a monthly production target of 500,000. One sample will be shipped in early August this year, and the sample price will be 10,800 yen.

Sharp's green laser diodes, which will be mass-produced, have a light output of 130mW, which is 3.3 times higher than Sharp's current products and has a wavelength of 520nm. The higher the light output, the more vivid the color can be.

Sharp began mass production of green laser diodes in November 2017. At that time, the mass-produced product had a light output of 30 mW and a wavelength of 515 nm. The three primary colors of light are red, blue and green. In addition to the green laser diodes, Sharp also offers red and blue products.

Sharp pointed out that laser diodes can be used as light sources for laser displays such as head-up displays (HUDs) and head mounted displays (HMDs) and their use is continuously expanding.

Nikkei News reported that laser diodes are currently mainly used in projectors. However, under the demand for vehicles and other support, the laser diode market is expected to show a substantial increase in the future. According to Sharp, the market for monitors using laser diodes is about 26 billion yen in 2018, but in the future, such as demand for vehicles, it will increase to 4.45 trillion yen by 2025.

Amazon... 

If you're relatively new to following MicroVision, you may think this is a gigantic leap. I would understand that, but inclusion in something with Amazon is no leap at all.

If you've been paying attention for a long time, it's seemed that there's been something cooking between MVIS and Amazon. 

Five years ago we saw this prototype at the ASM with an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. 

I have no idea if laser projection is in here, but it sure is looking good, and if it's for this device, that would be poetic.

 (Remember that MVIS recently sent out higher resolution samples, and from the ASM we learned that the 10 Million exclusive is restricted to the 720P version of the engine.... so it could be that the higher resolution is destined for a device like this.)

Below are videos from the 2013 ASM, where PicoP made an appearance in an Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet.

Apple Warns Component Suppliers

Interesting goings on around the fruit company.


Nikkei.com

TAIPEI -- Apple has asked its supply chain to prepare around 20% fewer components for iPhones debuting in the latter half of 2018, taking a cautious approach toward smartphone shipments compared with last year's orders, industry sources say.

"Apple is quite conservative in terms of placing new orders for upcoming iPhones this year," one of the four sources, who is in the supply chain, told the Nikkei Asian Review. "For the three new models specifically, the total planned capacity could be up to 20% fewer than last year's orders."

***************

"The scheduled time frame for components for the OLED models to go into iPhone assemblers like Foxconn and Pegatron for final assembly falls in July, while the schedule for components for the LCD model would be in August," a supply chain source said. "Two OLED models are likely to be ready roughly one month earlier than the cost-effective LCD model, according to the current plan."

Thanks for the prompt heads up Joe Spaz!

I originally sent this to a few on May 12.

A few of my friends got this email message from me on May 12. 

******************************************

Been noodling on the exclusive licensing contract, trying to figure out who it's likely to be.

At first the prime suspects were one of four:

• STM 
• Sony 
• Sharp/Foxconn 
• Goertek

I'm 90% sure that STM is either the only or the primary supplier of MVIS Mems and ASICS. The wording of the license doesn't make sense if the licensing is to them. (Why would they purchase these components from themselves?) [ STM / Microvision PR ]

Sony is possible, but given the language during the CC, I'd remove them from the list. (I'm expecting them to be in the "fast follower" category eventually

Which leaves Sharp/Foxconn and Goertek.

Goertek: I'm more dubious of Goertek in this case. They're not really a "tier1" supplier, although they do have some of those customers. They also removed some notes on their site a couple of months ago referencing Microvision and new things they'd be doing. (Removed at the request...)

Foxconn/Sharp. They've been doing a lot around Robotics, Robohon is still around, they're definitely a tier-1 supplier, they'd be worth the stealth. (Would anyone get excited if they announced Goertek? so why keep that a secret?) And the Moviphone guy was talkative at CES, and said that the next version of the phone would be made by Foxconn. (I never posted that publicly.)

There's also Sharp's Interest in mass producing Green Lasers. Sharp Mass Producing Green Lasers

So at the moment I'm thinking chances are Sharp/Foxconn 60% / Goertek 35% and one of the others at 5%

I'm interested if there's anything you can add to this line of thinking, anything I've missed or given more weight to than I should have.

Cheers

****************************************************

I have good reason (since then) to lower my chances of the company being Goertek to near zero.

Given that I'd say I'm about 95% for Sharp/Foxconn. With a 5% for some other surprise. I certainly don't know anything for sure.

Clearly Sharp is working closely with Foxconn.

Sharp is producing large quantities of green lasers, they are sticking with Robohon.
