Stanford launches AI-assisted holographic imaging technology
A team of researchers at Stanford University has developed an augmented reality (AR) title device that is thinner, lighter, and more powerful than previous technologies.
Compared to traditional AR devices, Stanford's device uses holographic imaging to overlay full-color 3D moving images on the lens, providing true depth and a more natural 3D viewing experience, and providing superior 3D vision through a combination of stereoscopic and holographic imaging technologies.
The device also incorporates AI algorithms to calculate and render high-fidelity holograms for display on the lenses.
Unlike bulky traditional AR devices, the device has a slim profile similar to regular glasses due to the use of ultra-thin surface optics instead of bulky lens arrays.
Currently, the lab version of the device has a poor field of view – only 11.7 degrees in the lab, much smaller than the Magic Leap 2 or even Microsoft HoloLens.
