Augmented reality (AR) smart glasses have long been on the cusp of mass consumer adoption, but one major hurdle has stood in the way – the display system. Bulky and heavy displays have hindered the immersive experience that users crave. However, TriLite, a pioneering tech company, has taken a revolutionary approach to address this issue.
TriLite’s Trixel® 3 laser beam scanner (LBS) projector is breaking new ground by shifting the complexity of its display system from hardware to software. This ‘software-first’ approach has enabled TriLite to create ultra-compact, high-quality displays that are cost-effective and ideal for mass production.
The Software-First Approach
TriLite’s Trixel® 3 is a software-defined LBS display technology that utilizes proprietary algorithms to ensure optimal image quality, minimal latency, and low power consumption. By controlling position and brightness with subpixel accuracy, TriLite has been able to reduce complexity and size, paving the way for sleek and lightweight AR smart glasses.
Design: Tool Chain
TriLite’s design process involves a proprietary tool chain that simulates and optimizes all parameters of the display system. From video input to photon output, every aspect is meticulously defined and simulated to achieve the best possible image quality. By utilizing advanced simulations and precise control algorithms, TriLite has been able to create a display system that is both compact and efficient.
Device: Trajectory Control Module (TCM)
The Trajectory Control Module (TCM) developed by TriLite enables precise control of position and brightness within the display system. By leveraging state-of-the-art processors and optimized algorithms, TriLite ensures optimal image quality while minimizing system latency. The TCM plays a crucial role in reducing complexity and size, making the AR smart glasses more comfortable for users.
Manufacturing: Calibration System
TriLite’s end-to-end calibration system utilizes machine learning software to optimize the manufacturing process. By leveraging software flexibility, TriLite has been able to loosen alignment tolerances during production, leading to higher assembly yields and lower manufacturing costs. The calibration system ensures that each pair of AR glasses meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
Conclusion
TriLite’s innovative ‘software-first approach’ to AR smart glasses represents a significant leap forward in the field. By focusing on software-defined display technology, TriLite has been able to deliver lightweight, high-quality displays that are affordable for consumers. With TriLite’s groundbreaking technology, AR smart glasses are poised to become more accessible and widely adopted in the near future.
