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 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 create a holographic camcorder

Since the invention of a camcorder, we haven't seen much of advancement of a video camcorder. Sure, there are few interesting, new features like capturing video in 360 or taking high resolution 4K content. But the content is still in 2D and we still watch it on a 2D display. Have you seen the movie Minority Report (2002)? There is a scene where Tom Cruise is watching a video recording of his lost son in 3D or holographically. Here is a video clip of this scene. I have been waiting for the technological advancement to do this, but it's not here yet. So I decided to build one myself. In order to build a holographic video camcorder, we need two devices. 1) a video recorder - a recorder which captures the video content in 3D or holographically. 2) a video display - a display device which shows the recorded holographic content in 3D or holographically. Do we have a technology to record a video, holographically. Yes, we can now do it, and I'll e

Creating an optical computer

Creating an optical computer  Note on creating an optical computer.  What is Optical Computer? A laptop is a microchip based computer and uses electricity and transisters to compute. An optical computer uses photons to compute.  How does it compare to a typical laptop? A modern desktop computer has about 5 TFLOPS (5 x 10^16 floating calculations per second). With an optical computer, there is no limit in the calcuations per second.   Is an optical computer faster than a quantuam computer?  In 2016, the fastest known quantum computer has 2000 qubits, which is 1000 faster than 512 qubits.  With an optical computer, there is no artificial limitation like 2000 or 500 qubits.   What's the theoretical compute limit on an optical computer?  There is a limit of speed of light. For now, the only artificial limitation is how we design the first prototype.  How much electricity energy does it require?  The first POC should use less than 1000 W/hr.  Has there been any prior inventions or work
