*So that is displaying an array of "light field" style renderings of slightly different camera angles and the pinlights are backlighting those? Also, is that an RGB LCD or is the LED array doing all the RGB part. And lastly, is the occlusion pass done with the object's inner alpha being all RGB on or...? Thanks in advance for answering!*
Quick question. The LCD panel is black and clear or? Don't have a black and clear LCD panel here right now to test. So how does an LED create a colored image if the LCD panel is black liquid and clear glass? It seems as though it would only be lit up in the clear areas.
That is simply a black and White LCD and the RGB LED provide the color? Or is the LCD actually RGB and the LED simply provides the lighting? Thanks in advance!
1:02 "...without the use of lenses, beamsplitters, *WAVEGUIDES*, or other optical components" 1:32 "...an etched *WAVEGUIDE*, which is transparent, creates a series of bright point light sources" They said it doesn't use waveguides, then 30 seconds later they show the waveguide it's using. I'm confused.
The design does not require the use of a waveguide, or use it to form the image, as is common with AR glasses. A edge lit plastic sheet was just used as a convienient way to make an array of bright dots, but other methods could be used as well (e.g. LEDs). Sorry for the confusion.
oh my god that's absolutely clever i love this lol seems also like a reasonably cheap project to make if anyone's trying to create their own light field glasses?
Thanks Maimones! Nicely done!
8 years later NOW, and we still don't have this technology available for the consumer.
We do in wave guide tech. Same concept, small FOV though.
Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing this in real life. Good luck with the research, this may become one of the next game-changers for AR.

I wish there was a step by step tutorial on how to make this.
Same

How does it work when you want only one pinhole in the center to light up... Wouldn't al holes before that one comes be lighted up then?
What happened to this design?

andrewmaimone Could you reduce the dot pitch to increase resolution or is there a minimal distance the eye resolves to?
You can reduce the dot pitch somewhat, but you'll run into diffraction limits.

Is there any way to obtain the etched glass?
This is a really awesome method!
How big is the sweetspot?
2:33 Is the occlusion mask just a preprocessing step or your screen is capable of displaying "black/unlit" images?
How did you make it
Is there someplace I can go for the plans?
I love your work!
Is that actually a light field display?
Next gen hololens will adopt this technology
Next time, guys, bump that audio all the way up on the video.
Can you get now free epilepsy ? Or after using ?
replace the transparent LCD with transparent OLED and it would probably be better
Edit: nvm that's stupid
I tried the meta pro...and then...WTF happened to meta? Did zuck's-a-turd buy that company to steal that company's name?
