Dsholz - Microvision ShowWX Review @ Laser Forums

Found an interesting post by Dsholz over at Laser Forums who reviewed the Microvision ShowWX. While the first initial post is back from June 2010, there is a lot of information regarding speckle, polarization, vertical scanning, refresh rate, and much more. Even though the information is based on the original ShowWX its a very interesting read.

Microvision 3D PicoP® Prototype @ Visions of the Future

Microvision will be demonstrating its 3D PicoP Prototype at Mobile Future Forward

Bell Harbor International Conference Center
2211 Alaskan Way, Pier 66 , Seattle, WA



Microvision Demonstrates the Future of Mobile 3D Displays
MicroVision, Inc. MVIS +10.15% , the leader in innovative ultra-miniature laser display technology, today is demonstrating an early version of its 3D PicoP(R) prototype during the Visions of the Future session at Mobile Future Forward in Seattle. Sid Madhavan, vice president of R&D and applications, will share more details on the 3D technology developed by MicroVision at the event.

MicroVision's 3D PicoP utilizes a mixed-polarization approach with its laser scanning technology to deliver 60Hz frame rates to each eye, enabling the use of less expensive passive 3D eyewear. This allows MicroVision to offer a cost-effective and pocket-sized mobile solution, compared to competitive approaches that utilize two projectors or bulky and more expensive active shutter glasses.

As more 3D content becomes available on a growing range of devices, from smartphones to handheld gaming consoles, users would have the ability to break free from small screens and leverage 3D PicoP to display content over 100 inches in diagonal image size. In addition, MicroVision's in-motion laser display technology is ideal for high intensity, action-packed 3D mobile games, providing focus-free crisp images for extremely immersive experiences.

"MicroVision technology makes it easier for consumers to view, share, collaborate and play games, using mobile devices that they simply don't leave home without," said Alexander Tokman, president and CEO, MicroVision. "3D on the move is a next logical step, and we are uniquely positioned to take the immersive 3D viewing experience beyond the living room."

Original equipment manufacturers would be able to leverage the 3D technology in MicroVision's next-generation HD PicoP engine that is expected to be released during the second half of 2012

Direct On Patient Image Display with a Laser PicoP Projector For Medical Device Placement

Direct On Patient Image Display with a Laser PicoP Projector For Medical Device Placement
Positioning of medical devices on or in the patient before an MR-guided procedure is hampered by the need to pull the patient out of the imaging system for the initial placement. Visualization of the anatomy below the skin surface could provide a quick assessment of the device placement. The purpose of this work was to demonstrate the feasibility of displaying images directly on patients from above the scanner to aid in device placement.
