THERE IT IS, MVIS IN HOLOLENS2

The Definitive Proof We have been waiting for

Microvision's Tech in Hololens2

 

Great post and story on Reddit, by poster "s2upid" Thank you Jay!Microvision parts found within....

I thank him for the initiative and spending a not insignificant amount of his own money to obtain this proof.


Here is Alex Kipman saying great things about the display and Claiming that Microsoft Invented it.

If you had been following closely you would have had near proof of Microvision in Hololens last October.  The picture for the video above, on the right, you can see Microvision's logo several times.


Check out the beginning of Microsoft's Announcement of Hololens 2. If you were really following Microvision at this point, Feb of 2019, you SAW Microvision's tech at this point, but Microsoft claimed it.




Kipman talking about "Microsoft's Display"





Apple AR Glasses

Microsoft has made great strides in AR to be sure. I think it is is going to be a tool that improves things in astonishing ways. It will also be an amazing new toy.

But, given the way Microsoft has treated Microvision. I'm holding out for the Apple AR glasses. I'm quite confident it will use the same display.

They built this device around Microvision's display and they NEED it to produce this device. 

Bens Blog on this Reveal

If my read on the timing is correct this is the APRIL 2017 Contract, which also states that Microvision can sell it to whomever they want after the end of development.

I expect that when the company is sold, this will be included in any buyer's abilities as well. 

Any startup who had developed a similar display, with a similar contract would have a market cap in multiple billions of dollars -- and Microvision is NOT a one-trick pony. (My opinion.... do your own due diligence, and your own homework.)

Let the bidding begin.

Trimble announces Mixed Reality solution.

Press Release


Trimble announced the availability of the Trimble XR10 with HoloLens 2 system, a worksite-ready mixed-reality solution that enables workers to visualize 3D data on project sites for more efficient planning, collaboration and reporting.

The new solution is enabled by two central components:

• Trimble XR10 with HoloLens 2 - a mixed-reality device purpose-built for integration into an industry-standard hardhat for use in safety-controlled environments
• Trimble Connect for HoloLens - cloud-based software that allows for open and collaborative communication across all stakeholder types, optimized to maximize the benefits of HoloLens 2

Enabling front-line workers in the construction, oil and gas, manufacturing and mining industries, the Trimble XR10 meets international certification standards for impact and electrical protection in most major markets.  The device includes all of the new functionality of HoloLens 2, including a flip-up-visor, wider field-of-view and more instinctual interaction enabled by state-of-the-art hand-tracking technology.  

The XR10 enables users to overlay Constructible Building Information Models (BIM) and other digital project data onto the physical context of the jobsite.

Trimble Hololens

One of the key phrases in the Microsoft Hololens presentation is that anyone can build one. They don't know about all the details of every environment, so the technology is there and can be modified.

I think this is the first of many that we'll see -- and I'm eagerly anticipating what Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Sony, Toshiba, Quanta, Alienware, NEC, Gateway come up with.

Just for Hololens.

I expect that other AR system producers will use the MVIS Near eye display separately.

(AR systems can be display agnostic. You can buy a computer monitor and use it with any number of computers or television tuners, I see this kind of display as little different from that.)

 The hard hat compatible device is the first to be created with the Microsoft HoloLens Customization Program. It integrates the latest spatial computing technology, a wider field-of-view, improved usability, and a flip-up viewscreen. Trimble also unveiled an expanded set of software and services and continued development for Trimble Connect for HoloLens, a cloud-based collaboration platform, for use with the XR10.
