Hypervision: Micro-OLED vs. LCD – And Why the Apple Vision Pro is “Blurry”

The optics R&D  company Hypervision provided a detailed design analysis of the Apple Vision Pro's optical design in June 2023 (see Apple Vision Pro (Part 4) - Hypervision Pancake Optics Analysis). Hypervision just released an interesting analysis exploring whether Micro-OLEDs, as used by the Apple Vision Pro, or LCDs used by Meta and most others, can support high 60 pixels per degree, angular resolution, and a wide FOV. Hypervision's report is titled 60PPD: by fast LCD but not by micro OLED.

Humane AI – Pico Laser Projection – $230M AI Twist on an Old Scam

Humane AI (Humane, hereafter) combines the mid-2010s failed concept of using a laser projector to project on the body with the early 2000s failed projector phone (something I wrote about in 2013), only they left out the phone's flat panel display and have more feeble processing than a good smartphone.
