Innovations in Display Tech Bring Us Closer to the Digital World
The XREAL One Series includes two models: the XREAL One and the XREAL One Pro, priced at $499 and $599 respectively. Both models support three degrees of freedom (3DoF) spatial displays and are compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, laptops, and gaming systems, via USB-C. The bump to a 50-degree field of view helps sell the illusion that you’re looking at a 140” high definition monitor from five feet away. Both models maintain 1080p resolution per eye and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Windows 11 users can now pair a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S headset with a Windows PC or a Windows 365 Cloud PC and use the headset as a wearable display. Microsoft says the experience gives you up to three virtual high-res monitors that let you interact with your Windows applications. You can either block out the real world and immerse yourself in the virtual experience or use passthrough mode to have the screens overlaid on your real-world environment.
A developer has created an LED face mask that looks like something straight out of a dystopian sci-fi film. The device can display custom images and animations, turning the user into anything imaginable. The Become Anyone mask, created by Sean Hodgins, is a true feat of DIY engineering, combining expertise in electronics, 3D design, 3D printing, and more. The electronic wearable has 9,000 programmable lights, which Hodgins sourced from Alibaba.
The Scalable Hydrogel-clad Ionotronic Nickel-core Electroluminescent (SHINE) fiber is flexible, emits visible light, and can self-repair after being severed, restoring most of its initial brightness. It supports wireless power and can be manipulated using magnetic forces. With its combination of features, the fiber has potential applications in light-emitting soft robotics, interactive displays, and integration into smart textiles.
Head-up displays (HUDs) allow airplanes to project information onto a display so the pilot can look out the canopy instead of down into the instrument panel. A wide-angle head-up display projects that information across more of the canopy. Using a helmet-mounted display with a HUD is redundant but reinforcing for the pilot. This matters because, without a HUD, F-16s may not be allowed to go on missions – whether training or front-line service.
The San Jose-based company officially launched its futuristic display technology for enterprise customers. The display, dubbed SolidLight, goes beyond gimmicky holographic illusions that merely trick your eyes. Instead, it manipulates waves of light to converge, creating floating 3D images that look real. During a recent demo, the company packaged the display as a theme park-like experience built in partnership with the SETI Institute, the nonprofit focused on the search for alien life.
