- Augmented reality glasses have been hyped excessively in the last five years. With billions of dollars in investment, the technology has resulted in discouraging returns.
Dr. Barmak Heshmat, former MIT researcher and technology conceiver, explains how the public understanding of AR is flawed and what the fundamental physical limitations are on this technology. He argues that there are still major challenges that need to be addressed before AR can be adopted by the market, and then explains the practical future that is waiting for this technology. Barmak Heshmat is the head of optics at Meta, a silicon valley startup that manufactures augmented reality displays for professional use case. Prior to Meta, Dr. Heshmat was a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for four years where he invented the time-folded optics which allows designing optics in the time dimension. His other works include reading through closed books using THz batch scanning technique and Imaging through complex geometries using time-of-flight cameras. Dr. Heshmat has given invited talks at five TEDx events, and numerous other venues and academic institutions.
He has published 22 journal papers and filed 15 US patents. Some of these papers and inventions have been featured on MIT cover page, BBC, TechCrunch and many other media outlets. Dr. Heshmat is also the founder of the ‘Imaginarium of Technology’ (iMT) which is a technical illustration service company that illustrates future technologies This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

AR is a diamond in the rough. It is even more convenient and versatile than a phone:
- checking the time without a gesture
- Easy navigation while driving
- Live translations of signs in foreign languages
- Capability of taking pictures or videos
- Identifying breeds of animals or plant species at glance
- Infrared vision, or electronic filtering based on environment
- censoring particular things you don't wish to see
- Viewing personal holograms or videos privately without it disrupting the view of others
- Facial recognition
- Live calculation of formulas or problem solving
- Live filters, like making everything monochrome, or boosting color for those with colorblindness
There are so many more uses that will be invented by the time the technology is perfected. From AR glasses, then will move to other headwear that projects the image right into your eye or brain directly, without a visible accessory. People think it is wacky science fiction, but even 20 years ago, we could not conceive of the tech found today.
I disagree with so many points here. Firstly, the development of cellular devices is a perfect comparison. Touch screens were not spectacular for years, and mobile networks were slow. furthermore, the phone is development on the computer becoming smaller which also was a long process. Finally, he is clearly biased for the use cases of these devices. He mentioned entertainment and productivity, but not the hundreds of other use cases that are very real - architecture, healthcare, education, etc
Charlie they are building this not just for entertainment or for any other other uses but to give us a God life here on earth how are you not seeing that!
@@megamanzero1216 I don't understand what you mean I am sorry.
Dude straight up used comic sans for his presentation
that's one interesting point of view on the subject.
This is one of the coolest talks I have ever seen on AR. There are really not many use cases for AR, that's the whole point. Its better to look for the actual applications and all the polishing will be followed soon( Which he called the killer apps ).
Thaaaaaank you! :)
Interesting talk👌
Greetings from Germany
this talk would make sense in 2009, but AR will blend and fuse with our daily lives very soon.. the tech is there, we are just not ready for AR yet ;)
Great talk
"We don't need this, I don't want that" Well DUDE (since it was used so many times), We didn't need the smartphone either. But we have it. What competing tech did the cell phone have? Why Can't AR just be the next step? Are you saying that if you could do EVERYTHING your phone can with a pair of glasses, you wouldn't be in?
Apple glasses will be next year december to march 2022 accdg to Jon Prosser. To be announced this October to march. Possibilities are endless in games like Yu Gi Ohs and like in the Legend of Korra. Even in Schools, AR in learning will be great. Apple is the best right now in AR with their developers. They will probably make fashionable AR glasses first for most people until series 5.
Maybe he is just an object in augmented reality! Look at his pants as he moves lol 3:05
And he is standing in the red dot that projects him.
Guys! Dude!
Gals! Billionaires!
AR on mobile, you don't even need the glasses.
Itll be better in glasses and one day they'll be like contact lenses it's a whole different experience were just in the beginning of VR and AR
Watching for the second time. And it feels true.. Just a killer Application can boost it.
What is this edit @1:03? There's a jump cut there.
Edited around some aliasing in the master video. Thx.
This talk started off slow but got there in the end, well done. Talking tech isn't easy and public speaking doesn't come natural to everyone - I learnt something new so more power to you :)
Killer app is OVR. Come back in 5 years and tell me I am wrong
So we need volumetric displays to pop out our phones via eye tracking. That’s the only thing that will work.
We need more of this!
I love and prefer vr better than ar anyway because i am a huge vr fan don't get me wrong i love ar i'm just not a fan of it i agree ar is not going to be that great anytime soon that technology is still not there it's going to take a while for that to happen we don't really know what's going to happen in the future
Micro-Oled would like to have a word
you have to better word your presentation, even though you may be experienced in the domain, saying "like dude how do you even live" won't get you far.
Lol I thought the same
I mean, the 'hologram' thing was just semantics. Everything he said about its actual possibility is wrong.
There's currently at in the works that has astounded everyone that's demoed it but idk about affordability this guy seems very biased
Yeah and newyork times told aeroplane is practically and logically not possible too. Look what's flying above your head now... Freaking drones, you can literally make anything fly.
A scholar guy from 1700s ....its just not possible that u talk here and a man in distance 180000 km will hear you ...it's based on physics the sound have a wavelength and i can travel only to a distance ...it's not possible.
I bet this guys dad pushed Steve Jobs out of apple.
at mark 8:50 the audience is all bored and not interested in this product which sadly will happen regardless of this or how we feel about it. those dates that were shown are accurate truths and are in action to this day..
My guess would be 20 -30 years for this to be decent
I'll give it 9
@@chadsmith66 in 5-10 years world n technology will be pretty advanced in good and especially bad ways used against us
Apple is coming out with them in a few years around 2021 apple always waits until all company's starts doing them first so they could make them even better for everyday use and they'll be thin it'll use an iPhone as its main source
Tech growth is exponentially increasing, it might take much less if a game changing tech was introduced.
This is the sound you get when you think you do not need a sound engineer on your Tedx.
Fresh to hear someone speak about the propaganda vaporware that is AR. Next we need to talk about its morality.
This is one of the worst teds I have ever seen. lots of speculations and negatives without real fact explaining. And no real new facts. Also boring build up or no build up. Sorry I really had to stop it after I still learned nothing at 8 minutes in.
computerjantje : it's just the shadow part of AR. Accepting reality is sometimes better..
I'd have to say it's not the best for sure. For every 10 negatives he has 1 (or no positive) to back it up. it was as if hates AR but "works in it?"
Not to mention his camber of voice sounds like a spoiled child.
This was vaguely well-founded at the time, but has aged poorly
Honestly, VR is doing even worse. A limited gimmick with such limited appeal.
If you had a VR headset you’d understand. Seriously, it changed the way I think about learning and entertainment.
