ARとVRのための光学の未来像

Near-eye optical technologies are a key enabling technology for Extended Reality (XR) headsets. For immersive VR headsets to transport us to new worlds, lenses are needed to focus and magnify display systems. For AR glasses to overlay digital projections onto our environment, specialized optical combiners blend this information with the real world.

 

Optics define how users see into created realities, exert a huge force on the design of headsets and partially dictate how long their batteries can last: emerging optical technologies have the potential to make these realities feel more real in a compact device that may be worn all day. For this to happen, substantial development must take place here over the next decade, with emerging optical designs leading to future market disruption.

 

What are these optical technologies and how will they alter the landscape of this growing industry? How will manufacturers and material suppliers need to react? This webinar, delivered by IDTechEx Senior Technology Analyst Sam Dale, who focusses on AR/VR technologies, draws on IDTechEx's new report "Optics for Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality 2024-2034: Technologies, Players and Markets" to answer these questions. It will cover the following:
