Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) Displays: Emerging Technologies and Future Perspectives — Summary
Recent advances in high-speed communication and miniature mobile computing platforms have escalated a strong demand for deeper human-digital interactions beyond traditional flat panel displays. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets are emerging as next-generation interactive displays with the ability to provide vivid three-dimensional (3D) visual experiences.
Note: This article is a short summary of the article in the reference section.
In the 1990s, AR/VR experienced the first boom, which quickly subsided due to the lack of eligible hardware and digital content. Over the past decade, the concept of immersive displays was revisited and received a new round of excitement. Emerging technologies like holography and lithography have greatly reshaped the AR/VR display systems.
