Thank you for the info. I noticed that AR/VR seem to have a bigger presence this year .. very excited for that! I'm an early-career professional scientist (on the SW side) .. I must say, I learned a lot about the capabilities of current hardware by talking to engineers at CES. I'm reading up on LCOS, waveguides, combiners, etc. so I can have meaningful conversations! I am a big believer in wearables (still have my Google Glasses!) ... it would be a dream if we had high quality wearable AR in the market. The main barrier to experimentation is that it is pretty hard to source and integrate the necessary optical systems. I read your older articles on LCOS with combiners. Are there specific modules you'd suggest a "hacker" to try out? (i.e. hobby-level resources as opposed to corporate-level).
