wants…

4. HR = Harsh Reality

5. The Challenge

6. Form Factor
Determinants
§ Use cases (Assisted Reality à Mixed Reality)
• Enterprise or Consumer
• Monocular vs Binocular
• How immersive
§ Cost
§ Optics – the only AR specific technology

7. Use Cases

8. The Continuum and tradeoffs
Real Life
This is the real, physical
life around us in the world
(not digital)
Augmented Reality
This is the technology which
overlays digital information onto the
real world
Mixed Reality
This is the merging of both
the real world and the
digital world
Virtual Reality
This is the immersing of a
user in a completely digital
world
Extended Reality

9. Mapping the
Continuum to AR
Products
Mixed Reality on Mobile Devices
(ARKit, ARCore)
Assisted Reality
(Google Glass, Vuzix Blade, North Focals)
Mixed Reality
(HoloLens, Magic Leap 1)
Passthrough AR
(VR with outbound cameras)
Inexpensive AR
(Mira Prism)

10. Configuration
matters

11. AR Hardware
Teardown

12. The only Component Unique
to AR
Optics

13. Transparent displays
are the most critical
part of smart glasses
hardware

14. There’s no Moore’s Law for
optics, batteries, weight or
thermal dissipation.
