Speaking of prototypes, I have an idea for future XR glasses. By “future”, I mean maybe about 10 years from now, when Moore’s Law predicts that computation will be about 100 times faster than it is now.<\/p>\n
So we won’t really need to worry as much about things like compute power or the bandwidth and latency of wireless connections. But we will still need to worry about the laws of physics and optics.<\/p>\n
I have some ideas about how we can pack all of the optical components into a thin form factor that looks like a lightweight pair of eyeglasses. The only constraint in my approach is that every part of each eyeglass lens needs to be the same distance from the corresponding eye (in other words, it needs to form a section of a sphere).<\/p>\n
So I just needed to decide how large to make the eyeglasses. Given that the human eyeball can rotate about 90 degrees horizontally and about 70 degrees vertically, the design pretty much suggested itself.
