REUTERS - The axed device was internally code-named La Jolla and was scheduled for release in 2027, the report said. It was going to contain ultrahigh-resolution screens known as micro OLEDs — the same display technology used in Vision Pros.
Meta had stopped production of the Quest Pro — its most expensive headset priced at $999 — in 2023 after encountering weak sales and poor reviews, according to the Information report.
"Optical lens based on a Polarization Volume Hologram (PVH) layer having a freeform design and an optical system using such a freeform PVH lens. Depending on applications, the PVH layer can be transmissive, reflective, or partial-transmissive-partial-reflective. The freeform PVH layer consistent with the disclosure can be responsive to light with a certain wavelength, such as infrared (IR) light for eye tracking purposes in a head-mounted display (HMD).
[…]
A PVH layer can include a birefringent material layer including a plurality of birefringent molecules, and is also referred to as, e.g., “polarization sensitive gratings,” “polarization sensitive optical elements,” “liquid crystal gratings,” or “chiral liquid crystal elements.” For example, the PVH layer can include a liquid crystal (LC) layer including a plurality of liquid crystal (LC) molecules. The LC molecules are spatially orientated to enable at least one optical function of the PVH layer.
[…] The optical function of a PVH layer can be determined based on the configuration or manipulation of optical axes of the LC molecules in the PVH layer.
[…]
When the LC layer is thick enough, Bragg diffraction can be established.
[…]
The slanted Bragg grating can allow the PVH layer 100 to redirect incident light to be converged or diverged in reflection or in transmission. Thus, through further manipulation of the orientation of the LC molecules in the x-y plane, the PVH layer 100 can be configured to function as a lens, such as a reflective lens or a transmissive lens, that can, e.g., converge or diverge an incident light beam.
[…]
The PVH layer is also referred to as a “PVH lens.”: […] wherein the first region and the second region have different optical powers, […], wherein an optical axis of the first region and an optical axis of the second region point toward different directions, […] wherein the first region and the second region are arranged side by side, […] wherein the second region encircles the first region.
Just as Magic Leap has being working on since long time, Microsoft now addresses the multi-focal plane with an intersting system architecture based on birefrangence and reflection. Difficult to guess when we will see it implemented. For example Magic Leap patented up to 6 planes, with varied and ambitious architectures, but manufactured two, by now. IP runs faster than technology and the realm is very slippery.
But we all know our Deus ex-Machina, here, of course.
GitHub announced that it will make generative AI models more accessible to developers by tightly integrating with existing tools and features. This new capability, known as GitHub Models, allows developers to explore various models within the GitHub web interface. They can also test and compare different models without leaving their current environment."
The news: Facebook’s parent Meta Platforms is in talks to buy a 5% stake in eyeglass manufacturing giant EssilorLuxottica, the company it collaborates with to produce Ray-Ban smart glasses, sources familiar told the Wall Street Journal.
In this video, I sat down with Mark Zuckerberg to chat through Meta's launch of AI Studio and all things creators.
During the conversation, Mark also answered many other questions I've never heard him speak about publicly.
I've been playing with the beta version of Creator AI and am super excited about the value it could bring for creators and small businesses.
We explored the future of Meta smart glasses, frame breaking consumer products, neural wristbands, and many more creator questions from the community.

The present disclosure relates to display systems and, more particularly, to augmented reality display systems.
A diffraction grating includes a plurality of different diffracting zones having a periodically repeating lateral dimension corresponding to a grating period adapted for light diffraction.
The diffraction grating additionally includes a plurality of different liquid crystal layers corresponding to the different diffracting zones.
The different liquid crystal layers have liquid crystal molecules that are aligned differently, such that the different diffracting zones have different optical properties associated with light diffraction.

"Piping" includes the means for pupil expansion by replication, and it is strictly related to the eye-box. Pupil expansion is a difficult task, also as it is limited by the Lagrange Invariant. Here it is only an example and it is implemented by phase-shifting the beam as it propagates through the waveguide at the level of the outcoupling grating.
(There exist means to replicate the pupil both laterally and in the depth direction)

Physicists are always riveted in predicting how a physical system behaves as a function of time. We begin this review article by understanding various formalisms to study the dynamics of the systems. The once-accepted belief that the Hamiltonian had to be Hermitian to ensure real eigenvalues got crashed down by parity-time (PT) symmetry where the Hamiltonian is no longer Hermitian. Thus, the idea of PT symmetry demonstrated that Hamiltonian's Hermicity is not necessary but sufficient to ensure the real eigenvalues. In this review article, we clearly describe the fundamental principle of PT symmetry, its significant attributes and its evolution in various fields of Physics, especially in Optics. In recent years, an artificial material called metamaterial has gained phenomenal momentum due to its unusual electromagnetic properties. These subwavelength-scale artificial electromagnetic materials can provide a variety of mediums for exploring non-Hermitian phenomena. Thus, the implementation of PT symmetry in metamaterial opened up an extended range of unusual phenomena in light-matter interaction. This paper addresses recent developments in PT metamaterials and highlights a few of its applications. Graphical Abstract

Dogs and cats have exceptionally developed sensory systems and abilities to recognize human signals and emotional states. It makes them invaluable in roles such as working dogs and therapy
animals in human society. Understanding each other’s emotional state is essential to working with them effectively. However, the low accuracy of human emotional estimation in dogs and cats is a significant issue. Due to individual differences and cognitive biases affecting human subjective assessments, automatic emotional estimation is crucial. To address this issue, there is a demand for automated emotional estimation technology. This paper provides an overview of emotional research in dogs and cats, their senses, and their roles in interaction with humans. In addition, we described automated emotional estimation technology using image/video and electrocardiography as a complement to human ability for emotional recognition of dogs and cats, and its applications for implementation. Practical implementation of automated emotional estimation technology should be adaptable to different breeds, individuals, and environmental conditions. Improving this technology has the potential to contribute to various fields, including pet welfare enhancement, veterinary care, ethology, and support for humans with dogs or cats. ! https://www.tandfonline.com/cms/asset/2207e63b-7342-482b-b6c0-26b5b0a48759/tadr_a_2358439_f0001_ob.jpg
