I’ve spent >7 years at Meta Real Labs working on nearly every aspect of AR displays, culminating in Orion and other yet-to-be-revealed AR glasses devices.
Over the years, this has given me a breadth of experience with everything going into AR display systems:
– uLED, LCoS, DLP, and laser beam scanning light engines (incl. backplanes, illumination, projection optics, active alignment, STOP analysis)
– diffractive and reflective waveguides
– ophthalmic (RX) lenses
– binocular disparity sensor
– electrochromic and photochromic dimming
– integration of the above components into modules and systems
– optical metrology equipment and methods
– geometric and photometric calibration
– perceptual evaluation and metrics
This experience allowed me to:
– create a lauded AR display 101 seminar to create a cohesive narrative for non-optics experts
– lead demos for the AR display org
– create design guidelines for how to accommodate the novel aspects of additive displays
I have invented:
– novel approaches for dynamically trading color gamut for power (brightness/battery life)
– a new integration strategy for custom ophthalmic (RX) lenses
– new use cases unlocked with AR displays
