Near-eye light field AR display with a continuous focal plane

Room: 10704, Bldg: Applied Science Building, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6

Human eyes have evolved over millions of years to have consistent vergence and accommodation. However, most stereoscopic AR/VR displays available today can easily cause vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) and hence visual fatigue to users. We resolve the problem by taking a light field approach that directly projects sub-aperture views of the light field of a virtual... Read more

Digital versus Analog Battle: Massive-MIMO versus Passive multibeam

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/342496

5G requires higher data throughput due to higher numbers of users and devices, applications, and data rates. Adding the spatial domain using beamforming or Massive MIMO (MIMO) offers another resource to boost capacity. Beamforming antennas dynamically shape their main beam and null directions according to the location of their connected users and effectively reduce interference... Read more
