According to news on May 10, a scientific research team from Stanford University recently developed a new AI-assisted holographic imaging technology.Thinner, lighter and higher quality than existing solutions, it is expected to open a new chapter for augmented reality (AR) glasses.
The current prototype has a very narrow field of view, only 11.7 degrees in a lab environment, which is much smaller than the Magic Leap 2 or even the Microsoft HoloLens.
However, this prototype has shown unlimited potential. It can implement a stack of holographic components in a standard glasses frame and use AI training to project realistic full-color moving 3D images with different depths.
The prototype, like other AR glasses, uses waveguides to guide light through the glasses and into the wearer's eyes. However, the team developed a unique "nanophotonic metasurface waveguide" that no longer requires bulky collimation optics, and improved image quality by "learning physical waveguide models" through AI algorithm training.
