[Seminar Name]
VR/AR Optics and Case Studies
[Date and Time]
April 24, 2026 (Friday) 13:10 - 16:05
[Venue]
Pacifico Yokohama, 2nd Floor, Concourse Meeting Room E24
[Seminar Overview]
In recent years, next-generation head-mounted displays (HMDs) have been successively released by major manufacturers including Meta and Apple, and XR (VR/AR/MR) technology is entering a new phase. In this seminar, experts will explain the latest optical systems and specific case studies from three perspectives: integration with AI, laser retinal projection, and Waveguide technology, which is key to thinner and lighter devices.
*This seminar is a co-located seminar for OPIE'26, a comprehensive exhibition of optical technology, held at Pacifico Yokohama from April 22, 2026.
[Program Content]
1. Current Status and Future of XR Head-Mounted Displays in the AI Era
Lecturer: Professor Kiyoshi Kiyokawa, Nara Institute of Science and Technology
Content: Explains the evolution into "AI-era XR devices" where AI analyzes and complements visual information in real-time. Details the history of HMDs, the latest research examples such as expanded field of view, high definition, and depth perception presentation, and future prospects.
2. Laser Retinal Projection Technology: From Visual Function Support and Healthcare to XR Applications
Lecturer: Makoto Suzuki, CTO, VISIRIUM, QD Laser, Inc.
Content: Introduces the benefits of technology that directly projects a faint laser beam onto the retina (focus-free, ultra-low power, miniaturization). Outlines application trends to AR-compatible glasses-type devices, based on achievements as visual function support equipment.
3. Waveguide Technology Supporting Next-Generation AR Glasses
