    Viture Pro XR Glasses Teardown and Optical Analysis

    Our next teardown is the Viture Pro XR Glasses, a set of glasses that’s have been out for about a year. While the display and optics solution are similar to almost all other glasses of this form factor, there are two main differentiation points at a price point very similar to our previous teardowns (<$300):

    RayNeo Air 3S – Full Teardown

    While we’ve already looked at the Air 3S’ optics here, given the extensive teardown we had to do to access the lens and display modules I thought it was prudent to take a look at all of the other components that make up the glasses. To start, we can take a look at the outer

    RayNeo Air 3S Teardown and Optical Analysis

    The second video in our series of XR headset teardowns is the RayNeo Air 3S – this is a much newer unit, having launched in April of this year. I wanted to grab a pair and dig into the display & optics hardware because of the impressive price point that RayNeo was able to achieve

    Xreal Air Teardown and Optical Analysis

    I’ve been an avid reader of Karl Guttag‘s excellent blog covering the latest and greatest in AR and VR optics, and I thought it would be interesting to actually get my hands on some of these products and take a peek at how mass production units actually implement the optical paths we always see in

    JSID Podcast – April 2025

    After wrapping up another interesting Display Week last week in San Jose, I decided to go back and read the April 2025 issue of JSID. There are quite a lot of disparate topics covered like folding mechanics, quantum dot microdisplays and VR user experience, so it was time to try something new for a slightly

  • Module 3 – Process

    Module 3 – Process

    A display module manufacturing line requires the application of various disciplines of engineering, from fundamental material science all the way to applied mechatronics. Before diving into the equipment and materials that are the beating heart of a module line, it’s important to understand the process that engineers envision feeding materials into and flowing partially- or

  • Module 2 – MCOs

    Module 2 – MCOs

    One of the most critical aspects of integrating as complex a system as a display module is to ensure all of your incoming materials are also performing as expected – the famous adage ‘garbage in, garbage out’ is quite applicable here. To do so, display module engineers have a host of tools at their disposal,

  • Module 1 – Form Factor Changes

    Module 1 – Form Factor Changes

    New products typically mean new components, and one of the hardest to change is that the display itself. From potentially having to build out a new billion-dollar facility, to changing the screen area slightly, problems big and small abound. Today, we’ll focus on the smaller ones… how do we change the form factor slightly of

    Starting Out – 5 Things to Get Familiar With as a Display Novice

    1. Display Type Displays are not created equal in how they deliver information to the visual cortex. While a multitude of different display technologies have evolved over the years, in present day we typically see 3 major types: Comparing the light source mechanism of reflective, transflective, and transmissive displays.
