Smart Glasses Boom Means New Business for Optical Components and Sensor Makers: You Think "Glass Looks Strange When Worn", Really?


This is important because spectacles—smart or not—are articles of clothing and the general consensus is that the current generation of smart glasses—Google Glass in particular—look strange when they are worn.  There is therefore a premium on any optical subsystem that can improve the appearance of smart glasses by, for example, pushing some of the electronics to the front or side of the head.

Qualcomm Moves to Change the World and Create Real Superheroes


Now imagine you put this capability into smart glasses that you would wear.  You wouldn’t have to hold your phone up to see what was going on, it would be displayed in front of you.  Someone walks up their name and relevance to you appears magically in front of you (which is kind of handy with Facebook friends or if you are like me and can’t remember names to save your life).

Now this is interesting

So Northland Capitals Note "reported" yesterday at Seeking Alpha stated that "Google had tested Samsung OLED displays and found them not bright enough." The "News Reports" of this today all trace back to Wilson's Seeking Alpha hoax, this is the only REAL news report on the Analyst's note, no mention of OLED displays, brightness or Samsung :

On Google glass, the analyst said it looks like Google will be returning. "While there is still no word on timing for commercial release for a new version of Glass, Google has been making significant investments in personnel including Ivy Ross and the partnership with Luxottica. We believe that earlier reports of Google looking at alternative display technologies are accurate, but believe that the company may be returning to the Himax fold."

 That Seeking Alpha report was bullshit promulgated no doubt by the Jerk (sure that's not the blogger's mugshot) in the upper right corner of this page, the erstwhile Jared Wilson, who, no doubt is a fake identity to undertake just this kind of mischief on Seeking Alpha.

Apple Watch To Feature AMOLED Display Made By LG

How does this make sense?


Larry Page visits Samsung in Spring 2013 ostensibly to see about the possibility of using Samsung OLED Microdiplays in Consumer Google Glass.

Comes away apparently empty handed.

Google buys stake in Himax Display and uses their LCOS displays in Google Glass. Reviews are mixed on quality.  Battery life awful, heats up causing shutdown, problems.

Ron Mertens reports Google is going to switch to OLED Displays produced by a small company affiliated with the French Atomic Energy Commission called Microoled. (Red Herring if I ever saw one)

On recent eMagin Conference Call CEO Sculley says that prominent Smart Glass Maker(unnamed but clearly referencing Google) KNOWS that they are looking to switch to OLED displays,  and just how would they know that  unless Google is one of the 10 companies they have been talking to about displays for Smart Glasses. He adds "They (Google) just have to figure out how to get there." he said.

Report today says "Google likely to stick with Himax as Samsung OLED not Bright enough." This sounds like a throwaway line from Google. Samsung had a prototype XGA out there a few years ago but since then not a peep about them. Why compare current tech with 3 year old displays? Having said that apparently a new Samsung Camera has an OLED XGA Display. Just to add to the plot. That's not to say that Himax LCOS displays aren't brighter than those. But they did not mention eMagin. It's an odd comparison to make.

We have already had rumors of Google switching to OLED Displays twice. And yet we have had not one rumor, nothing, that Google might contemplating a switch to the best performing OLED microdisplays on the market. That my friends is "the dog that didn't bark in the night." My conspiracy theory is that Google is once again making public their interest in OLED displays but "these darn Samsung displays are not bright enough, if we could just find an OLED display that is brighter..." that's how they get there.

Seeking Alpha So How Much Stock can you put in it? Samsung? What? Samsung?

Google Sticking with Himax because Samsung's OLED Displays aren't Bright Enough

Don at Investor Village, While Excavating a Tomb in the Valley of the Kings


discovered an ancient papyrus from the Early Dynastic Period that seems to show that a Prince of the Court, called Himax, attempted to depose another Prince, Eman, as a rival and competitor for the Pharaonic Crown. Not much is known of Himax except he was power hungry and affected cheaply made bright green tunics which were said to be so bright they glowed. Eventually having lost the power struggle Himax opened a shop in the Bazaar that sold kitsch to unwary tourists. So ended the struggle for the Crown. The definitive account of this fictitious era was penned by Jaret Wilson,  Graduate Assistant in Photonics ,University of Dipshits Press.

According to Carmack, another challenge that surprised him was how important power management was not only to battery life, but performance. Taking full advantage of all four cores of the device's CPU, he said, overheats it within minutes.
Carmack said that the plan at the moment is that the device will notify users as it's about to overheat, giving them the option to either end the session there, or change to low-power settings if the game is capable of adapting to them.

No way, Jose

The Language in the Trademark Application Particularly "Headset" and "Visor"

also knowing that eMagin Z800's website was 3Dvisor.com indicates to me that the Trademark Z-4MP is the HMD CEO Sculley was referencing some months ago when he spoke about an HMD he wore while playing an FPS Game, he said "like he used to play with his son and, "of course", he added, "he always died" but he said "the experience was very immersive." Of course a Digital HMD would cut across all the described applications just as the Z800 used to do. Training and simulation, gaming, serious and otherwise. DSTS, VIRTSIM, PTSD Therapy etc. And the circumstantial evidence that eMagin hired at least one college student to beta test something, it only makes sense they would ask his opinion on gameplay with the device. Backing off the Google Glass thing, a competitor for Oculus that's "immersive" without the untoward consequences is just what the doctor ordered.

I Do Not Understand the Dynamics at Work Here, If Himax is a crucial supplier of a Key Component for the World's most recognizable Wearable Device i.e. Google Glass

why are they allying with a company like Optivent? Optivent until last week was  a Kickstarter project which had managed to amass $20,000 to develop their Ora-1 Augmented Reality Glasses. Weird. This "partnership" sure looks like Optivent is a beard Himax is using to indicate they are and will remain in the AR Glasses game. Like selling your Lambo for $20,000 so you can buy a Ford Focus. Causes me to recall eMagin Management asserting without equivocation that Google's plan is to transition to OLED Microdisplays for future iterations of Google Glass.

Google Glass Outlook Still Fuzzy Paul Campbell eMagin CFO "well, Google backed the wrong technology (Himax)."

On that score, as well, a new Consumer Reports review suggests Google still has a ways to go. Based on its own testing, the publication made a $200 smartphone sound a lot better than a new, $1,500 Google headset for taking photos, shooting video, sound quality and battery life. “Pictures shot in bright light were slightly oversaturated, images were noisy, and contrasts lacked depth and dimension,” stated the review. Ditto for video.
The magazine also pointed out that Google’s claim of one-day’s battery life for Glass for “typical use,” turned out to be only about three hours under what its lab testers considered “moderate” and “heavy use.” That includes things like following turn-by-turn directions, recording video and listening to music.
