SID-MEC Summer 2024 Online Talk - July 11, 2024
Aspects of Near-Eye Display for XR Applications
Speakers: Peter Ostertag, Ivo Vieira, Lusovu & Roberts Zabels
SID-MEC is the Central European branch of the Society for Information Display (SID). It covers most European countries from Eastern Europe (e.g., Latvia) to Western Europe (e.g., Portugal), yet Southern and Northern Europe too (except those European countries with own regional chapters, such as France and UK/Ireland). SID is the worldwide largest association of scientists, developers, and companies in the electronic and information display domain. Displays include any device that enables image display, such as smartphone displays, projectors, AR/VR smart glasses, televisions, or display devices in automation technology. The conferences, which are held regularly, present the current scientific state of the art concerning displays. Topics range from material science, interfaces and manufacturing to applications of displays. The focus of the summer online meeting is on AR/VR applications with mobile devices such as smart glasses. There will be emphasis on exchange and interaction amongst speakers and participants.
SID-ME Spring 2024 Online Seminar + Q&A session
Date & time: April 22nd, 2024 at 16:00-17:30 CEST
Topic: "New materials for film optics and game changing AR/VR optical component"
Abstract: The rapid advancement of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets has increased the demand for materials specifically designed for optical components used these devices esp. regarding improving the optical performance, realizing a small form factor and having low weight. This presentation discusses the challenges and current status of new liquid crystal based materials developed for AR/VR applications, including both passive and active components.
