Faster calculation method for next-gen augmented reality devices

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new way of calculating simple holograms for heads-up displays (HUDs) and near-eye displays (NEDs). The method is up to 56 times faster than conventional algorithms and does not require power-hungry graphics processing units (GPUs), running on normal computing cores like those found in PCs. This opens the Read more about Faster calculation method for next-gen augmented reality devices[…]

Innovative computational imaging approach could advance applications from brain research to self-driving cars

Researchers have developed an easy-to-build camera that produces 3D images from a single 2D image without any lenses. In an initial application of the technology, the researchers plan to use the new camera, which they call DiffuserCam, to watch microscopic neuron activity in living mice without a microscope. Ultimately, it could prove useful for a Read more about Innovative computational imaging approach could advance applications from brain research to self-driving cars[…]
