You own a two-acre parcel in downtown Miami right now. You bought it when it was covered just with gravel and weeds, but you could see the promise it holds. It's enormously valuable, even though it's not yet producing income. {200 million} Holding onto this valuable asset could be challenging. The surrounding properties, though often far less valuable, generate income, making them more comfortable to retain. A smaller, less valuable vacant lot—covered with gravel and weeds and costing you money without providing income—might feel easier to hold onto. Eventually, it’s time to build a tall structure on the site: multiple money-generating endeavors in the same structure; residential, hotel, commercial. Leases are already signed. Payments won’t begin until tenants move in. You wait and observe. I recall watching a similar site in Minneapolis years ago. Work began with numerous vehicles moving material out of the lot. Months passed. Then material was brought in. Lines of trucks would arrive, yet it remained just a hole in the ground. More than a year went by, and it stayed that way—we grew accustomed to seeing only a hole. Then, without warning, a tall building grew rapidly. Every time we looked that way it was taller, until it was finished and making its owners rich. Much of the preparation for the structure happened out of sight—except below grade, where the workers toiled—until, suddenly, it emerged as a glorious edifice.
The Value of MicroVision to it's share holders is going to be a portion of the total value it provides to people.... what will that be?
The Value of Use..
"I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various
species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a
kilometer. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a
third of the way down the list....That didn't look so good, but then
someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of
locomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the
condor away. That's what a computer is to me: the computer is the most
remarkable tool that we've ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a
bicycle for our minds."
--- Steve Jobs
The Near Eye display will allow us to use that bicycle for our minds everywhere we go, everywhere we are, and with everything we do. Increasing efficiency, improving productivity. Allowing creativity to be harnessed much more easily, errors to be found and corrected earlier.
The benefits of a PC will no longer limited to a desktop, laptop, or something we have to sit down and focus on. It could be there all the while we are doing.
Kipman wasn't lying when he said they built that new game-changing device around the display that they... er... (MICROVISION) invented... While I think they're scoundrels for claiming credit for the display it is a testament to how amazing it is.
Taqtile's motto is "Everyone is an expert." That illustrates the value very well.
My visit to Taqtile:
making people who don't know act as though they know. Giving them a knowledge advantage immediately. (You can walk into a facility and perform processes recorded by an expert. You don't have to be the expert to do it.) Particularly important is Knowledge Capture
Will it GAME? Do not forget Pokemon Go. Games are HUGE, and I think the effort to come up with games for this will be huge... do not forget that there was a special introduction of a gaming company at one of the Hololens presentations.
Gaming? Microsoft bought Minecraft, has it for Hololens... and it's really popular.
How many companies to make AR devices using MicroVision's display?
Well, we know Microsoft, Apple, Google, Magic Leap, Facebook, and probably the big computer makers (Dell, Lenovo, Sony, Acer, etc.) will all want in on Augmented Reality.
(Remember, Kipman said "anyone can make their own hololens" and Trimble IS making their own Hololens.)
Apple is doing it --- there are enough patents and leaks to show this. Some of what they are doing is in the open with their "AR Kit."
Google Had "Glass"
Magic Leap is AR (associated with Google)
I'm nearly certain that Hololens1 and Magic Leap used the same display.
Facebook has AR/VR -- And also has a substantial facility right up the road from MicroVision HQ. It is unmarked and apparently. secret. (There is nothing on the outside that says "Facebook," nothing on any vehicle that brags about Facebook, no people wearing anything labeled with it can be seen outside. -- I took a picture of the front door a couple of years ago, and my phone did ask me if I wanted to tag the picture I took at Oculus.
Behind it is another facility that is part of Microsoft, and there is a shuttle running between the two campuses.
They will all need the best near-eye display they can get. There is nothing better yet on the horizon that looks like it will be serviceable. When that appears, it may still be years before it's usable and possible to manufacture in quantity.
A side-note here. We may look at a device and think that it looks simple -- the good things are. MicroVision's core tech, which is essentially a vibrating mirror, looks really simple. Getting it to work as it has to -- and then also assembling the components is anything but simple. Making the sub-components-- the mirror, the magnets, etc., to the precision required is not a simple process. Developing a reliable way to do this in quantity had to be extraordinarily difficult and time consuming. This has made it difficult in the past for holders of MicroVision -- because we were waiting, and it seemed like nothing was happening. This is now a hurdle that MicroVision has cleared. Any potential competing technology has yet to clear this hurdle, and it's a significant one. The distance between prototype and released product is huge.
What are the "killer" applications?
An important question with any new technology. (If you have the first fax machine -- it's cool but useless... there has to be something to DO with it.)
This should not be a problem with AR.
Personal computers were around prior to the early 1980's. They were basically toys, things to tinker with, until the killer app, arrived.
In marketing terminology, a killer application (commonly shortened to killer app) is any computer program or software that is so necessary or desirable that it proves the core value of some larger technology, such as computer hardware, a video game console, software, a programming language, a software platform, or an operating system.[1]In other words, consumers would buy the (usually expensive) hardware
just to run that application. A killer app can substantially increase
sales of the platform on which it runs.[2][3]
For the PC the killer application was the spreadsheet. It took what could be an astonishingly tedious task (prone to errors) and made it happen in a twinkle. (No time to explain it in detail here, but trust me and check here: Visicalc BBC)
After the arrival of the spreadsheet, the PC went crazy.
The killer app for Hololens?
There are several already. Trimble has one - Overlay of design in the physical world. This increases efficiency in construction hugely and doesn't take a lot of imagination to see how it would. It will save a lot of time and therefore a lot of money. Problems will become apparent more quickly, be solved sooner, and best -- they'll be solved while they're potential problems instead of real ones.
"Benefits every industry that deals with 3D spatial data." Nearly everything we deal with is "3D." -- so the appeal is broad.
Knowledge Capture. This can be used already, and it's huge. You don't need to "train" someone for a job, you have your smartest person do it.... and those who come after can copy. (Everyone's an expert.)
What I am looking forward to most, is being able to learn languages.
An endlessly patient teacher that scans the environment and labels everything in the target language? Sign me up.
How big will the use of Augmented Reality Be?
Microsoft itself said that Hololens would be bigger than the PC.
Microsoft's
Stock was worth about $0.09 in 1986; 10 years later in 1996 it was
worth $9.00 (A 9,900% Gain.) If we consider Microsoft until the
introduction of the X-Box (2001) You get about $30/share (A 33,000%
Gain) -- That's perspective on "how big can augmented reality be."
The
PC is huge, because it's nearly ubiquitous. It's everywhere. Hololens
will be more everywhere, because it can be 'more everywhere' -- not
anchored to a desk, table or lap. If you want to use a PC you have to
look away from whatever else might be around and focus on the PC... not
so with hololens.
In 1976 the number of PCS being used
in the US was effectively zero, Apple showed up then and sold some. Then
Radio Shack hat the TSR-80 --- by the year 2000 PCs were literally
everywhere. They continue to get better.
How much will they earn?
(and how much will someone pay for those earnings?)
Any answer to this question is guesswork. The value will be significant, because the value it brings to the user will be significant.
There is no good way to come up with this number... {I readily admit that this is guesswork. You are reading guesses. Don't make your decisions based on my guesswork, base your decisions on your own guesswork. If you have a solid critique or method of guessing that you think is better than mine, I'd be happy to read, consider and possibly post it too.... if we get enough people working on it, we might actually arrive at a good guess.
To do this, I'm going to plop some possibly numbers into the Personal Computer "killer application" and see where the numbers lead.
I like to come up with a couple of frameworks of thinking (always willing to throw an unworkable framework out) and sort of come up with a range. (And after wrestling with this for quite some time, have decided to rely on the fairly basic model below. --- it could be wildly off... I admit that, but it involves the least guessing.)
Method 1 (I claim no accuracy, this is a framework.)
$70 Billion Euros for the next four years --- my SWAG then is $100 billion in the next FIVE years, which is my preferred time horizon. (since a euro is 1.1 USD I'll consider them equivalent.)
Assume that a display would account for about 10% of the price of the computer. ($900 computer, $900 software + $200 for a monitor)
Use 10% of the total AR market for display
Use 1/2 of the 10% as the MicroVision share.
$100 Billion * .1 =$10 Billion *.5 = $5Billion.
Using this method my SWAG(scientific wild-ass guess) is $5Billion (Divide into the 140 million shares = $35/share (To be conservative, cut it in half again) = $17/share (This vertical)
After spending some time thinking about it, that's the only guess I'm willing to make here... it's taking an "accepted number" and extrapolating. Trying to anticipate the market with all its variables is a daunting task, and probably not worth the effort, because EACH stage is guess work. I could be off by miles already -- but I think the guess is reasonable and the theory sound.
Some of the basis I'm using came from the video below. (It says $70 Billion in the next four years)
Errors happen all the time with data... they happen even more with speculative future-anticipating (I know this) Read this for some background: I'm skeptical of Data
This patent references multiple ways of delivering data to a screen -- to projecting imagery -- which is the key part of the Microvision thesis. There is nearly endless demand to deliver imagery to consumers. They are all hungry for data, information to be delivered to them electronically. People also want those devices delivering data to them to be small and portable. Microvision's tech uses lasers --- the most efficient way to produce light --- to deliver imagery to consumers. It can be small, portable, and if you want to hang it on a wall, or conceal it in plain site, it's the ticket. Some larger devices that can be plugged in, hardwired and focused at a fixed distance may use other technology -- that's fine, there's a lot of room in the space. When you want it tiny, portable and energy efficiency is key... MicroVision's tech rules. Confidence is pretty high with me that at least one Major Player will use Microvision's Interactive Display. (Amazon) and also quite high that the contract that exists to produce the display only projection is Sharp/Foxconn(the world's #1 electronics maker)
Early last month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a granted patent from Samsung relating to a new kind of portable projector that could sit on a table, like our cover graphic illustrates, or be easily attached to a wall to show slides, pictures, videos or simply watch live TV. The projection system could be controlled by a smartphone or any other kind of computer such as a tablet, laptop, desktop, wearable device like a smartwatch or even a set-top-box. (DMD / LCOS / DLP) Furthermore, the laser scheme may include a light source that consists of a red light emitting device, a green light emitting device, and a blue light emitting device, an optical tunnel to which laser light emitted from the light source is incident, and a display device configured to project an image onto a screen using the laser light incident through the optical tunnel. The laser scheme may also include, as a projection module, a structure including a synthesis module for performing synthesis by transmitting or reflecting some colors of the laser light emitted from the light source and a speckle remover for removing speckles by irregularly changing a phase of the laser light synthesized through the synthesis module. The sensor module may be an array of sensors that measure a physical quantity or sense an operation state of the electronic device and may convert the measured or sensed information into an electric signal. The sensor module may include, for example, a gesture sensor; a gyro sensor; an acceleration sensor; an ultrasonic sensor; an infrared sensor; a Hall effect sensor; a proximity sensor; 140G; and an illumination sensor.
Learning history -- and anything else is going to be considerably more engaging....
3D Computing and Laser Mems Displays are going to be a significant positive change. Apparently the live demo suffered a problem, but this is the intended demonstration.
Also revolutionary, that you can work with people who are far away just as though they're right next to you.
Minecraft -- I'm pretty sure we know where this is going....
Remember that Apple has had developers developing AR content -- through flat screens.... which should be fairly easily transferred to glasses when the time comes.
Epic Games and Microsoft haven't always seen eye to eye, and you probably heard that Epic's CEO Tim Sweeney mercilessly ripped into Windows RT for blocking competing stores. Microsoft changed their tune though, so Sweeney and Co followed.
Sweeney mentioned that Microsoft's insistence on a closed platform pretty much made them natural enemies, which is why they decided against Unreal Engine support in the original Holo Lens.
Holo Lens 2, however, is an open platform so Epic are onboard. "Microsoft expressed genuine interest in approaching augmented reality as an open platform, rather than a walled garden like iOS where you can only install apps through their official store and they take out a large fraction of the money", Sweeney said.
Epic's CEO is delighted with the new wave of Microsoft's leadership, as they showed great interest in adopting open principles. In fact, if you factor in GitHub, Microsoft is among the top open source contributors in the world.
"There's a growing recognition throughout the whole industry now the open platforms are an important thing and that we have to continue to prioritize ensuring they remain open, and so Epic is incredibly happy", he said.
Sweeney said that there's been a time when everyone looked at Apple's monopoly and 30 per cent cut with envy, whereas today they're being criticised for it, as the trust in open platforms grew significantly.
Microsoft's Holo Lens 2 will be an open platform, leaving it to users to choose which store they want to use. Unreal Engine 4 support for native apps is coming with the 4.22 version, and Epic's dev team has been hard at work to make everything run great.
Looks like Epic is already developing for Hololens.
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."
It's been a ridiculously busy couple of weeks.... It looks like Hololens will get an announcement at MWC. ...and Hololens... Augmented reality is going to be much more useful than VR, will make training better, and improve human performance in obvious and measurable ways. I think it will take people out of their phones and put them back with each other -- and make them better at doing actual things.
It will also have unintended negative consequences -- and positive outcome.
thx Joe.
(Things should be fairly calm around here for a couple of weeks.)
Fast forward to about 4:00 for good stuff about Hololens, but the whole video is worth your time.
Now, VR is widely used to train employees at major companies like Walmart and Chevron. At Tyson Foods, VR safety training reduced injuries and illnesses by 20 percent.
It's also saving these companies millions of dollars, and bringing profits back to creators of VR headsets and software.
I suspect this was something that wasn't intended to be released like this.
There's some really interesting stuff on this, and it is another smoking gun, because it's Sharp, it shows known Microvision Products. There are also a couple of components that look like they fit the Hololens picture. (At risk of having it wrong, I'm still posting it that way because it's a busy day.) Thanks Geo & Joe ZD Net -- Hololens Sensor Source SocleTech (Part of Foxconn )
However, current MEMS technology places an upper limit on mirror scan rates, in turn limiting display resolution. As an example, a 27 kHz horizontal scan rate combined with a 60 Hz vertical scan rate may yield a vertical resolution of 720p. Significantly higher vertical resolutions (e.g., 1440p, 2160p) may be desired, particularly for near-eye display implementations, where 720p and similar vertical resolutions may appear blurry and low-resolution. While an increase in the horizontal and/or vertical scan rate would increase display resolution, the former may be technologically infeasible while the latter increases power consumption. Further, high scan rates may at least partially constrain mirror scan angle and aperture, where larger values are also desired. Additionally, supporting higher resolution also may require a larger mirror size due to the diffraction limit associated with smaller “pixel” sizes. The use of such a larger mirror may further increase the difficulties in achieving higher resolutions with scanning displays, as the larger mirror leads to a lower scanning frequency.
*********
The technology is applicable to a variety of output methods, including waveguides such as in the HoloLens, but also laser projection TVs and other systems which uses lasers and MEMS.
From the patent [0051] Another example provides a method of displaying an image comprising directing light from two or more offset lasers toward a scanning mirror system, and scanning light from the two or more offset lasers in a first direction at a higher frequency and in a second direction at a lower frequency to thereby scan the laser light in an interlaced pattern and form the image. In such an example, the method alternatively or additionally may comprise mapping a gaze direction determined via an eye tracking sensor to a region in the image, and adjusting one or more of the scan rate in the second direction and the phase offset based on the region in the image. In such an example, scanning the light from the two or more offset lasers in the first direction alternatively or additionally may comprise scanning the light in the first direction at a frequency of 27 kHz to 35 kHz. In such an example, scanning the light from the two or more offset lasers alternatively or additionally may comprise scanning the light to form the image at a resolution between 1440p and 2160p. From Free Patents online Embodiments of the present technology using the beam scanning assembly 100 described above will now be described with reference to the views of FIGS. 3-15 and the flowchart of FIG. 16. FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c illustrate a structure and operation of a first embodiment of the MEMS laser scanner 200 according to the present technology. FIG. 3a shows image light incident on the optical element 102 at two different times. This figure illustrates the zero order diffracted light present since the diffraction gratings are not 100% efficient. This light does not contribute to the final image and would appear as a ghost so therefore some mechanism like a blocking aperture would be used to block the light from reaching the subsequent components in the optical system. FIGS. 3b and 3c show image light incident on the optical element 102 at two different times. These figures illustrate the formation of two separate fields of view by diffracting the display light onto the MEMS mirror 168 by two separate Bragg polarization gratings 170 and 171 as explained below. The image light is generated by a display engine 140 which emits image light in a step 300 that is modulated on a pixel-by-pixel basis by the controller 124. In embodiments, the display engine 140 may be a commercially available assembly, such as for example the PicoP™ display engine from Microvision, Inc. of Redmond, Wash.
If they were inclined to dilute for the hell of it, we would have had this request long ago.... I'm for this. It gives them options to deal with threats, embrace opportunities, enter into strategic partnerships, or simply reward shareholders. (I think a forward split during a good run, with good publicity would be a gift to shareholders.)
May 18, 2018
Dear Fellow MicroVision Stockholder,
With a little more than six months as CEO of your Company behind me, I am convinced that we are now moving in a direction that will pave the way to achieving profitability at some point during 2019. As we discussed on our May 9 conference call with the investment community, we are on track with our plans, including:
The recently announced license agreement for display-only products with a leading global technology company that includes the payment of $10 million in license fees this year and provides MicroVision with additional payments for nonrecurring engineering expenses as well as other expected benefits.
The achievement of key milestones for the $24 million contract we signed in April 2017 with a Tier 1 technology company.
We made samples of our new MEMS scanner and our new time-of-flight ASIC available for customers’ evaluation.
Our next-generation analog ASIC has been taped out and we made significant progress on our next-generation digital ASIC.
We believe the markets we are targeting have exceptional growth potential. We also believe our technology and the underlying ability to deliver has never been better and with a very customer focused value-driven concentration of effort, we are positioned to increase shareholder value, but we need your help.
Your Vote is Important to MicroVision’s Success
It is important that you vote your shares at the upcoming 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in favor of each of the proposals, particularly Proposal 3 relating to an increase in our authorized shares. Please note that the approval to increase the number of authorized shares does not mean the shares will be issued, only that they are available if needed. The shares will provide us with the capital flexibility we need as we continue to execute on our strategic plan. Also, it is important to note Proposal 3 requires approval by the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock, not voting is the same as a vote against the proposal. Your vote is extremely important regardless of the number of shares you own.
While our Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously recommended that you vote FOR each of the seven Board nominees and FOR each of the proposals, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight Proposal 3 and discuss why the Board has determined that the proposal is in your best interest.
Proposal 3 asks you to approve an amendment to our charter to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock by 50,000,000 to a total of 150,000,000 shares. This proposal benefits our stockholders in the following ways:
Provides Shares for Future Financings: Without an increase in the number of authorized shares, we expect that the Company will be limited in its ability to raise needed capital in the future. Currently we have approximately 14 million shares of common stock available for issuance. The Company expects to need additional capital to fund its business. If we do not have shares of common stock available to issue, we would be severely restricted in our ability to raise additional funds needed for our continued operations. While the Board is sensitive to the dilution that results from issuing additional shares of common stock and will continue to weigh that concern, it believes the stockholders will be best served by the Company having shares of common stock available for financings or other transactions that it determines are worth pursuing.
Provides Flexibility: The Board would like to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to provide the Company with flexibility to issue shares of common stock for general corporate purposes, which could include, among other uses, financings, as discussed above, as well as for strategic partnering arrangements, equity incentive plans, acquisitions of assets or businesses, stock splits or stock dividends. The availability of additional authorized shares of common stock would allow the Company to accomplish these goals, and other business and financial objectives, in the future without the delay needed for authorizing shares for those purposes at the time. Increasing the number of authorized shares at this time does not mean we have current plans to issue these shares, only that they are available if needed by the company.
A Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firm Recommends Approval of Proposal 3. Glass Lewis & Co., a leading institutional proxy advisory firm, recommends voting for Proposal 3 and concludes that is prudent for the Company to have additional common shares available for issuance and the request to increase the authorized common shares is “reasonable.”
What is noteworthy that I see I will pass along when I'm able. Good to see you RS!
I'm a little early, this is from the Starbucks across the street.
You could read a lot into the stock price action today -- or figure that it bounced off the 50 day moving average in our new uptrend -- I don't know. It appears the main event for MVIS will be after the market close. MVIS has a display set up. Display is getting good traffic. Interesting off record commentary from a couple of people from STM.... The session to attend at 1:40pst Discussed manufacturing processes with an ST person. The biggest thing I learned about from him is inventories and manufacturing processes... from beginning production to ending production of some mems Attended "Micro-actuators enabling new and unforseen aplications."
Very interesting rundown of how Mems work (Chemistry and electronics) different kinds of actuation (Electrostatic, Electromagnetic, PiezoElectric) Three companies were highlighted: Polight -- which has an autofocus that imitates a human eye, Usound, where they use Mems to make good ear-bud speakers, and Microvision. (Also the dual mirror laser projector was referred to.) They passed around a sample engine, this is the sample new engine.
I particularly like the very standard looking connector on one end. Plug and play.
There was a good bit there about why they are partnering with Microvision, highlighting Microvision's expertise in LBS and their portfolio of 500 patents about LBS projection.
Time of flight presentation: All about their TOF tiny (really tiny) single point sensor that they use for camera focus. Engineers there made it a lot about how it works and asked detailed questions. Microvision didn't come up about it, but it was clearly an engineer presenting who was working on that item. Great background information no MVIS information.
A platform is a group of technologies that are used as a base upon which other applications are developed. This session will discuss how a single MEMS device combined with Laser Diodes forms a technology platform to support a wide variety of applications and products, from displays to 3D sensors and 3D printers. This application tour will span display applications from retinal scanning displays to heads-up displays to projection displays, and 3D sensors from mid-range LiDAR to Optical Coherence Tomography, to a variety of other applications such as 3D printers.
Microvision working with STM on IoT and smart driving applications. Electronics news STMicroelectronics will be demonstrating its latest solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Driving at IoT Asia, Singapore Expo, March 29-30, 2017. A smart driving pod at the ST booth will showcase the Company’s broad range of products for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Enabling strong progress toward autonomous driving, ST’s automotive solutions target applications that include V2X (Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) communication, machine vision, radar, automotive-qualified MEMS motion sensing, Telemaco3 single-chip telematics processors for connected-driving services, and navigation with the TESEO family of Systems-on-Chips. From Microvision STM announcement:
MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS) , a leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection display and sensing technology and STMicroelectronics, (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronic applications, today announced that they plan to work together to develop, sell, and market Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) technology.
The companies anticipate cooperating closely on market development efforts that will include joint sales and marketing activities for LBS solutions. In addition to the pico projection and heads-up display (HUD) markets that both companies are currently addressing with their LBS solutions, ST and MicroVision anticipate targeting emerging markets and applications including, virtual and augmented reality (VR, AR), 3D sensing and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Gamers are an interesting bunch. If you put them on the hunt for something and provide little rewards for it -- if you can turn your complex problem into a game, they'll do your work for free. The same goes for promotion -- The public didn't care about or know about augmented reality until Pokemon go... [ Gamers solve aids puzzle ] What they have here sounds a lot like Microvision's Lidar.
Sony is currently attempting to patent some new technology that is VR related according to CGM. The current PlayStation VR, while not necessarily cheap and hard to find, is considered “entry level” in terms of virtual reality equipment. While the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive have better technology and performance, the two setups are more demanding on hardware. Sony, however, has filed a patent to closer mimic this technology. This patent would not be something that could be “updated” on the current PSVR. The patent is for a lighthouse tracking system. This is something the current PSVR does not use and would be a better improvement for tracking.
“A method for determining an orientation of a photosensor of a controller with respect to a projector is described. The method includes generating, by a beam generator of the projector, a beam. The method further includes modifying a direction of travel of the beam using a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) mirror that moves in a pattern, deflecting the beam, calculating a time at which the beam is detected and determining based on the pattern and the time an orientation of the beam to determine the orientation of the photosensor.”
An alert Reddit MVIS board participant found this article. This is promising, (and a reaction I expect) but I'm cautious about accepting this article as much as the last one. Previous Mentions here of LTV June 2016 December 2015
