How Laser Beam Scanning Addresses Key Requirements to Deliver AR Smart Glasses

One of the key challenges for augmented reality is the development of ultra-compact, lightweight, low-power near-to-eye display solutions with good image quality. Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) technologies shows great promise to meet these key requirements and deliver form-factors that enable light weight, fashionable, all-day wearable AR smart glasses with the ability to scale resolution and field-of-view (FoV) with low power consumption. However, to enable the development of devices, products and solutions a broad range of technologies needs to converge holistically which necessities the need for an ecosystem. Towards that end the LaSAR Alliance was recently created. This non-profit organization seeks to create the environment, platform and structure for companies and organizations to collaborate on solutions that facilitates the growth of the augmented reality market. In this panel, experts from leading companies, and LaSAR Alliance members, (including ST, OSRAM, AMAT, Dispelix and Oqmented) developing the critical technology bricks come together to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and the outlook for LBS solutions enabling near-to-eye displays for integration into all day wearable devices.
