Hannah Reethu Sojan, Anncila Reji, Annlin Bijoy, and Anjeleena VJ,
A smart glass prototype has been developed by four girls, all of whom are approximately 14 years old. This girls squad has done the innovation in Kerala for visually impaired people, and they deserve great praise for what they have accomplished.

Huawei is reportedly working on a rival device to Apple's Vision Pro which will be nearly half the weight and half the price.

The TCL Nxtwear S Plus glasses are here

"

First, they now boast 600 nits of brightness, 200 more nits than the 400-nit TCL Nxtwear S, and 100 more than the 500-nit Xreal Air 2 Pro specs. This should lead to more vivid colors and better contrast in the displayed picture.

The dual displays also now have a max refresh rate of 120Hz rather than just 60Hz which should make the visuals appear much more smooth than before. We kind of wish they went up to 4K, but this is a resolution other smart specs also have yet to achieve at this price point – so our disappointment isn’t exclusive to the TCL Nxtwear S Plus.

Lastly, the new TCL Nxtwear S Plus smart glasses weigh a whole 2g less than their already lightweight predecessors, coming in at 87g instead of 89g. Based on our tests, smart glasses that weigh this little don’t feel noticeably heavier than wearing a pair of regular specs."

Apple's spatial computing accelerates Web3D and immersive augmented and virtual worlds and experiences, reinvigorating excitement about what a metaverse can look like.

Waterloo-based deep tech startup AdHawk Microsystems recently launched MindLink Air™,everyday glasses that can read its wearer’s eye health and cognitive state.

Its real-time insights help the wearer adjust their daily routine to improve productivity and avoid mental fatigue.

An ultra-compact micro-electromechanical system (#MEMS) tracks eyes movement, capturing data thousands of times each second.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1971 was awarded to Dennis Gabor "for his invention and development of the holographic method"

No, it's not Meta or Xreal. The Frame by Brilliant Labs is touted as the world's first glasses with an integrated multimodal AI assistant.

. A mechanical design is developed for the fabrication of ultralong, fracture-free and perturbation-free semiconductor fibres to address the increasing demand for flexible and wearable optoelectronics.

Details are scarce, but Neuralink cofounder Elon Musk says initial results are “promising.”

Samsung showcased several types of microdisplays at the Society for Information Display (SID) 2024 event. "

Conformable and wireless charging energy storage devices play important roles in enabling the fast development of wearable, non-contact soft electronics. However, current wireless charging power sources are still restricted by limited flexural angles and fragile connection of components, resulting in the failure expression of performance and constraining their further applications in health monitoring wearables and moveable artificial limbs. Herein, we present an ultracompatible skin-like integrated wireless charging micro-supercapacitor, which building blocks (including electrolyte, electrode and substrate) are all evaporated by liquid precursor. Owing to the infiltration and permeation of the liquid, each part of the integrated device attached firmly with each other, forming a compact and all-in-one configuration. In addition, benefitting from the controllable volume of electrode solution precursor, the electrode thickness is easily regulated varying from 11.7 to 112.5 μm. This prepared thin IWC-MSC skin can fit well with curving human body, and could be wireless charged to store electricity into high capacitive micro-supercapacitors (11.39 F cm−3) of the integrated device. We believe this work will shed light on the construction of skin-attachable electronics and irregular sensing microrobots.

Huawei Vision, a product rumoured to be under works, might offer stiff competition to Apple Vision Pro, a report highlighted. Apple launched its $3,499 (roughly Rs. 2.9 lakh) mixed-reality headset in the market earlier this month, powered by an M2 and an R1 chip while featuring 12 cameras. But now, Huawei's wearable device said to be named Huawei Vision, could edge its Cupertino-based rival in multiple parameters.

Micro-LEDs are poised to revolutionize the display market with their smaller sizes and unique production challenges. Companies like Shin-Etsu and VueReal are leading the way in manufacturing advancements, while Apple faces production cost hurdles. Discover the latest breakthroughs in micro-LED technology.

/PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create a wearable message display that can be used to express support or enthusiasm for various causes, sports teams, politics, schools or other ideas," said an inventor, from Cincinnati, Ohio, "so I invented THE CREATIVE MESSAGE. My eye-catching design would offer an interactive alternative to wearing standard graphic t-shirts, hats, or pins."

DESCRIPTION
"The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) acquiring, via one or more biosensors, one or more biosignals generated by a user of a computing system, (2) using the one or more biosignals to anticipate a transition to or from a cognitive state of the user, and (3) providing a signal indicating the transition to or from the cognitive state of the user to an intelligent-facilitation subsystem adapted to perform one or more assistive actions to reduce the user's cognitive load. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed."

Why haven’t a massive entertainment conglomerate and a massive social network been able to crack the metaverse, but a goofy game where a banana can fight Ariana Grande has? The answer is that, well, it’s a goofy game. Meta and Disney (and every other company chasing the metaverse trend) started with the desire to create a new vision of the internet, an all-encompassing virtual world that could serve as a place to play and to work. But they didn’t give people a reason to want to exist in that space. Fortnite, on the other hand, began as a thing millions of people really wanted to do — play a fun game with characters they know and love — and built its virtual world aspirations on top of that."

"With Epic’s new partnership with Disney, the company is beating the likes of Meta to create a popular metaverse through its battle royale game Fortnite.

"These miniscule pixels are poised to take AR by storm"

":The Vision Pro avoids some of the problems Google Glass faced by narrowing the product’s scope. Apple hopes the headset might replace a computer, tablet, and TV—though only within the confines of your home or office.

The real innovation is inside: a pair of micro-OLED displays no larger than a postage stamp that pack 4K resolution into ascreen just 1.3 inches square. Each display contains more than 11 million pixels spaced only 6.3 micrometers apart—less than the diameter of a human red blood cell."

LEDs and their organic counterparts are getting truly tiny. This could be the moment AR and VR companies have been waiting for.

Inside Apple Park, the tech giant’s CEO talks about the genesis of a “mind-blowing” new device that could change the way we live and work."

"It’s crude, like a giant box, and it’s got screens in it, half a dozen of them layered on top of each other, and cameras sticking out like whiskers. “You weren’t really wearing it at that time,” he tells me. “It wasn’t wearable by any means of the imagination.” And it’s whirring, with big fans—a steady, deep humming sound—on both sides of his face. And this apparatus has these wires coming out of it that sinuate all over the floor and stretch into another room, where they’re connected to a supercomputer, and then buttons are pressed and lights go on and the CPU and GPU start pulsating at billions of cycles per second and…Tim Cook is on the moon!"

"He knows that this is the future of computing and entertainment and apps and memories, and that this crude apparatus wrapped around his head will change everything. He knows Apple has to make this thing its next product category.“

“I’ve known for years we would get here,” Cook told me. “I didn’t know when, but I knew that we would arrive here.”"
