My startup received this "seal of excellence". It hurts because I'd rather have the money instead of a piece of paper, but hopefully we might be selected for the next round. They do this startup selection every 6 months or so.
Impressive, but I doubt even FRL can overcome this design limitations.
Digilens tried to do that since forever, and when you introduce more colors you will face the same kind of problems seen in Hololens 2.
Yes, the best SLAM we have today based on visual inertial data (Camera+IMU) uses 500mW of power. It uses DSPs and ASICs.
Also, the custom silicon team from MSFT did a great job for their SLAM and display engine, it's built on ASICs in what's called the HPU for Hololens: https://youtu.be/u0eBd2m_wEs?t=1641
As the founder of a startup creating an AR headset, I think it’s true but the AR market is not as mature as VR.
In every tech product, first comes the hardware and then the software adds the magic at every update. In the AR world, we are still at the hardware stage. No one has the answer today for a compelling device and experience for B2C. There is no Moore law in optics and the compute power needed for SLAM, computer vision and stereo rendering is crazy if you want an untethered device (like hololens). You need more than the traditional CPU/GPU config, you need DSPs, ASICs and perhaps FPGA. Combined with the optics your NRE is high.
We are far from a market that has the same ROI as VR now, even on the entreprise the adoption is slow.
This game is hard but it will be worth it, and it’s the most exciting venture I’ve been a part of.
It was awesome. The synchronized landing of both boosters was emotional.
Might be a naive thought, but for a few minutes, you forget everything else. There were millions of people from every nation live-watching the broadcast and everyone was cheering and hoping for the best.
The world seemed at peace during that moment and this is what I love about space exploration and all these great human achievements.
It is the first time I have ever encounter a philosophy close to mine about this subject.
Check out my VPN service, DataBuster[0]. I made the VPN only for myself at the beginning but my friends requested the features and it became a viable product.
The only "tracking" I do on the main page is a passive analysis of Apache logs made with Piwik, so there is no visible JS tracking code or third-party tracker.
