How to create AR Glasses

In this blog, I will talk about how to create AR Glasses using the current technologies available.

This is about creating a practical pair of glasses one can wear daily.

I have three versions.

- Basic AR Glasses
- Sports AR Glasses
- Ultimate AR Glasses


Basic AR Glasses

What is:
- A practical pair of glasses one can wear daily.
- Wirelessly connected to a computing platform.
- This computing platform can be a standalone platform.

Computing Platform
- If we create our AR Glasses to use iPhone or Android phone, we don't have to ask our users to carry a separate computing platform.
- But we will be dependent on Apple, Google or Samsung eco system.
- This can be a stand alone platform.
- If it is a stand alone platform, it should be able to charge AR Glasses directly from it, wired or wirelessly.
- If it is a standalone platform, it should be a smart phone customized for AR Glasses.
- If we plan to make a non-smartphone platform to replace a smartphone, sorry to say we don't have the technology advancements in the next 15 years to make this happen.
- So, as a Trojan hours, its beginning should be dependent upon the user's existing smartphone.
- Or. replace the user's smartphone with a new type of a smartphone that beats the current smartphone Apple or Google.


Sports AR Glasses

What is:
- A practical pair of glasses one can wear in sports activity.
- eg) Hiking, Running, Swimming, Skiing, Surfing, etc.
- Water-Proof
- Dirt-Proof
- Battery should last an hour or two.

Ultimate AR Glasses

What is:
- A practical pair of glasses one can wear in all activities
- May meet the military standards and requirements
- Only this pair will deliver the content not possible in all types of AR Glasses above.
- Hint:
-- This will use the advancements in AI, Computer Vision, Physics and Optics.
-- No, I'm not taking about WaveGuides Display.  That's 1980's military technology.
-- There are some advancements in these technologies which will be better than what others can create in the next 20 years.


Pricing
- Basic AR Glasses: under $250
- Sports AR Glasses: under $350
- Ultimate AR Glasses: under $550

Content
- I know what type of the contents to have to make these AR Glasses successful products. 
- I won't disclose them here, but you can contact me for more info.
- No, I'm not taking about displaying the navigation, weather, health info, etc.
- That doesn't make our customers wants to buy our AR Glasses.

How to use Convolution Neural Network to predict SIFT features

A feature locator is essential in all CV domain.  It's the basis of the germetric transformation, epipolar geometry, to 3D mesh reconstruction. Many techniques - SIFT and other SLAM technologies, are available, but they require ideal environments to work in. To address the short comings: - sensitive to low texture environment - sensitive to low light envonrment - sensitive to high light environment (like outdoor day light with above 20k lux) - and many other issues I propose a CNN based neural network to detect 4 correspondences in an image A and an image B. Since it is tricky to have a neural network to predict a 4x4 affine matrix of rotation and translation, I separated the translation vector from the rotation vector. Basically, the ground truth data will be precalcalated with a generic SIFT with RANSAC to calculate the correspondences set P and P'. The L2 (Eucledean) distance will be used between a predicted value.  They are 4 points, so an averaged will ...

How to project a camera plane A to a camera plane B

How to Create a holographic display and camcorder In the last part of the series "How to Create a Holographic Display and Camcorder", I talked about what the interest points, descriptors, and features to find the same object in two photos. In this part of the series, I'll talk about how to extract the depth of the object in two photos by calculating the disparity between the photos. In order to that, we need to construct a triangle mesh between correspondences. To construct a mesh, we will use Delaunnay triagulation.  Delaunnay Triagulation - It minimizes angles of all triangles, while the sigma of triangles is maximized. The reason for the triangulation is to do a piece wise affine transformation for each triangle mapped from a projective plane A to a projective plane B. A projective plane A is of a camera projective view at time t, while a projective plane B is of a camera projective view at time t+1. (or, at t-1.  It really doesn't matter)...

How to improve the traditional ASR using Connectionist Temporal Classification

The traditional Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) performs at about 85% accuracy rate.  At this rate, ASR users are often frustrated with the experience with using such a system. The tradition ASR is often fragile: 1) requires extensive modification of parameters, just to make it work. 2) requires extensive understanding of a language model and a acoustic model. 3) doesn't scale well to multiple languages. 4) hyper-sensitive to speaker variants. Deep Learning on the acoustic model has been introduced, but not much of gain in the accuracy. What if, we can do a DL from end to end? Connectionist Temporal Classification (2006) introduces an idea of using FFT on the frequency of a recording of a voice command and constructs a spectrogram at 8kHz.  At each spectrogram interval, a DL neural network can be assigned, individually. The basic idea is to have RNN output neurons to encode distribution over "symbols". The traditional ASR uses a phone...
