Shrinking augmented reality displays into eyeglasses to expand their use

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, biotech/medical, information science, robotics/AI

Augmented reality (AR) takes digital images and superimposes them onto real-world views. But AR is more than a new way to play video games; it could transform surgery and self-driving cars. To make the technology easier to integrate into common personal devices, researchers report in ACS Photonics how to combine two optical technologies into a single, high-resolution AR display. In an eyeglasses prototype, the researchers enhanced image quality with a computer algorithm that removed distortions.

Nat Geo Leverages Cutting-Edge Technology To Bring The Amazon To Life

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, mapping

Storytelling has evolved beyond mere narration—it’s now about immersion, interaction, and creating a deep emotional connection. Few organizations understand this better than National Geographic, a brand renowned for bringing the natural world to life through visually stunning, fact-driven content. With their latest digital experience, “Into the Amazon,” National Geographic has raised the bar even higher, blending cutting-edge technology with unparalleled storytelling to offer audiences a front-row seat to one of the planet’s most vital ecosystems: the Amazon rainforest.

At a time when the world’s environmental challenges are more pressing than ever, National Geographic’s “Into the Amazon” doesn’t just inform viewers; it transforms how we understand the Amazon’s role in the global ecosystem. This article explores how innovative technologies—such as interactive 3D mapping, augmented reality, and immersive media formats —are being harnessed to deliver a uniquely engaging experience. It also reflects on the broader implications for the future of digital storytelling, where technology and narrative merge to create impactful, lasting impressions.

As digital media continues to dominate, audience expectations have shifted. Passive consumption is no longer enough—today’s audiences crave interaction, engagement, and experiences that go beyond the screen. Immersive storytelling, particularly in the environmental and scientific fields, has emerged as a powerful tool to captivate and educate.

Virtual and augmented reality can temporarily change the way people perceive distances, finds study

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, virtual reality

Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that using virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) can temporarily change the way people perceive and interact with the real world—with potential implications for the growing number of industries that use these technologies for training purposes.

The study, published recently in the journal Scientific Reports, not only found that people moved differently in VR and AR, but that these changes led to temporary errors in movement in the real world. In particular, participants who used VR tended to undershoot their targets by not reaching far enough, while those who used AR tended to overshoot their targets by reaching too far.

This effect was noticeable immediately after using VR or AR, but gradually disappeared as participants readjusted to .

Flexible nanoimprint lithography enables efficient fabrication of biomimetic microstructures

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, computing, nanotechnology, sustainability, virtual reality

Gallium nitride (GaN)-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have transformed the lighting industry by replacing conventional lighting technologies with superior energy efficiency, longer operating life and greater environmental sustainability.

In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the trend toward miniaturization of LEDs, driven by display devices, augmented reality, virtual reality, and other emerging technologies. Due to the lack of cost-effective native substrates, the presence of high threading dislocation density in heteroepitaxial films grown on sapphire substrate is a major limiting factor for device performance.

In addition, Fresnel reflections at the interface between epitaxy and substrate caused by abrupt changes in the refractive indices of the material reduce the light energy utilization.

Walmart shows off its progress with augmented reality showrooms

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, robotics/AI

Walmart showed off its use of augmented reality and artificial intelligence in its retail operations. It turns out that AR is leading to better digital sales and cool new applications that haven’t been done before.

The techniques include virtual try-on of outfits, virtual showroom experiences and digital twins, said Desirée Gosby, vice president of emerging technology at Walmart Global Tech, in an interview with VentureBeat.

She emphasized the importance of AR and related technologies for enhancing customer experiences and improve productivity.
