Augmented reality display, micro OLED

Company Fraunhofer IPMS brings a wearable OLED screen that can sense where the user in looking. The Head-Mounted Display, or HMD, is a monochrome OLED screen that the company has labeled the first bidirectional microdisplay. Inside the active matrix OLED screen are integrated photodetectors that allow the system to detect where the eye is looking. Since this display is being promoted as a Augmented Reality (AR) device, the real world can be seen through the HMD. Fraunhofer states that actions could be sensed through the user's "Gaze," as in holding one's eye on a target to activate it. They also said joggers could watch movies while they are out, which is not a good idea on a busy street. But still, I would not mind retaining the option to do so some day.
 
 
Note: The HMD is monochrome. The second picture of a color screen is showing off the size of Fraunhofer's screens.

  • Hi E,

     

    This technology could have some interesting applications.  If you mounted a GPS locator on the person and used the OLED and a button to select items of interest, say birds or other animals, you could automatically record where you saw them and calculate thier positions given your relative orientation.

    This would be very useful after an event to go through an area and quickly capture the damage and indicate areas where search and rescue needed to concentrate first.  If you tied this device into the face tracking software, you could dynamically cue the video surveillence system to track people of interest. I could see this type of system used at cassino's, where they need to quickly spot and track people acting suspiciously.

     

    Hmmm, very interesting possibilities.

     

    Thanks
