General Comments
From the DD that has been made available on $EMAN over the last couple of weeks and beyond we know that the company's tecnology has MULTIPLE applications, and they have indicated in their May 14th Conference Call that they are NOT looking for a specific partner and instead they are focusing on rolling out their NEW LINE OF DISPLAYS and fulfilling EXISTING contracts with military manufacturers and a "mystery" "TIER 1" client that has been the topic of MUCH conjecture/rumour, particularly on manufacturers in the VR sector. There has been some SOLID dot-connecting done by iHubbers, Redditors, Twitter users, etc., which has generated a lot of attention for $EMAN but has also brought SOME out of the woodwork with all sorts of predictions on $EMAN and what it will or will not become, or whether it will be engaging in some sort of partnership/M&A activity with a firm.
Rumours Aside / What We Know:
Q1 Results & May 14th CC told investors quite clearly that $EMAN has IMPRESSIVE operations as an independent operator and an ESSENTIAL BUSINESS during the Coronavirus Pandemic, meaning that $EMAN's operations will continue to be robust during this strange time. Moreover, $EMAN's manufacturing is based in the UNITED STATES so they are ahead of the curve in terms of "nationalising" operations, so they are well-positioned for the "COVID" and "post-COVID" world.

"As described in Sec. 4.1.1, three customized ICs (manufactured by ILLUCO) were used in the optical bench prototype. We used the eMagin (WUXGA LUT) micro OLED for the foveal display. Each 18.7×11.75 mm, 3 g micro display has 1920×1200 24-bit color pixels at >1000 cd/m2 brightness. Overall transparency was 50% and the final brightness of the foveal display was around 70 nits. Our peripheral display is powered by the Celluon 1280×720 laser projector (PicoBit), with a 10 mm diameter 75 mm focal length plano-convex lens (Edmund Optics 84-281) for beam shaping. A full-color HOE film was recorded with our custom recording setup (see Supplementary B.1). To maximize the efficiency of all three wavelengths, we stacked three HOEs ( Supplementary B.3). Two perpendicular linear polarizers were used in front of the laser projector to match the brightness of the peripheral display to that of foveal display. In the optical bench prototype, the micro OLED travels horizontally and axially via two high-speed motorized linear stages (DDSM50) from Thorlabs, Inc.
"Wearable prototype. The wearable prototype consists of a modular, 3D printed frame that houses and aligns all of the optical/mechanical components used in the system (see Supplementary C) including a compact laser projector (MEGA1, MEGA1-F1), a beam shaping lens (Edmund Optics, 84-281), a right angle prism (Thorlabs, PS908), a micro OLED (eMagin, WUXGA LUT), optical front-end (combiners and half mirrors for the fovea and peripheral optical path), and the motion stage used to translate the foveal and peripheral displays in relation to each other. The basic optical structure of the wearable prototype is identical to the benchtop prototype, but it uses a smaller projector and the folded optical path for periphery. Note that the HOE was delaminated from the glass substrate to minimize the form factor and weight. The micro OLED display driver is located remotely and relayed to the display using a 5-feet cable provided by the manufacturer"

aus eMagin ein Zulieferer für Apple werden...?
...man weis es nicht...
https://www.apfelpatient.de/allgemein/...headset-alles-was-wir-wissen
Seit Jahren begleiten uns Gerüchte rund um ein neues Augmented-Reality-Headset, an dem Apple arbeiten soll. Nachfolgend ein Überblick basierend auf Gerüchten und iOS-Leaks.
Seit einigen Jahren wird immer wieder darüber berichtet, wonach Apple an einem Augmented-Reality-Headset arbeitet. Ursprünglich wurde erwartet, dass das Produkt in 2020 vorgestellt wird. Doch das war bekanntlich nicht der Fall. Es gibt allerdings neue Gerüchte, die eine Markteinführung in 2021 in Aussicht stellen.
Apple AR-Produkt: 2017 fing alles an
Die ersten Gerüchte über ein reines AR-Produkt von Apple wurden im Jahr 2017 dokumentiert. Damals hat Bloomberg erklärt, dass Apple an einem AR-Headset arbeitet, das irgendwann in 2020 erscheinen könnte. Dem damaligen Bericht zufolge soll Apple intern ein Headset mit einem System-in-Package Design testen, das ein neues Betriebssystem namens „rOS“ – basierend auf iOS – ausführt. Interessanterweise enthielt der Bericht nicht viele Details über das eigentliche Headset-Design. Im selben Jahr veröffentlichte die Financial Times einen Artikel, der weitere Details enthielt. Dabei wurde erklärt, dass Apple eine Augmented-Reality-Brille entwickelt, die 3D-Kameras haben würde und auf das iPhone angewiesen wäre.
Analyst warnte vor Änderungen im Zeitplan
Im selben Jahr führte Apple mit iOS 11 die ARKit-API ein, die die Augmented-Reality-Technologie für iOS-Apps weiter verbesserte. Anfang 2018 fing Apple an, Gespräche mit Unternehmen zu führen, die Komponenten für AR- und VR-Geräte bauen, darunter EMagin – das OLED-Display-Komponenten für diese Art von Headset herstellt. Der bekannte Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo erklärte, dass Apple plant, zwischen 2019 und 2020 mit der Massenproduktion seines ersten Augmented-Reality-Produkts zu beginnen. Gleichzeitig warnte er davor, dass sich der Zeitplan ändern könnte und damit auch eine spätere Markteinführung nicht ausgeschlossen ist.
Spezifikationen, Design und Funktionen
Im selben Bericht erwähnte Kuo, dass die erste Generation von Apples AR-Headset stark vom iPhone abhängig sein wird, genauso wie es die erste Generation der Apple Watch war. Der Analyst erklärte, dass alle „Apple Glasses“-Daten auf dem iPhone gerendert und verarbeitet werden, wobei das neue Gerät als AR-Bildschirm fungiert. Da das iPhone die gesamte Rechenleistung übernehmen soll, ist es möglich, ein viel leichteres, komfortableres Accessoire zum Tragen zu entwickeln. Im Grunde genommen wie eine normale Brille. Würde das Gerät vollwertig eigenständig arbeiten, wäre dies nicht möglich. Die Existenz eines solchen AR-Produkts wurde in der Zwischenzeit von Apple selbst ungewollt bestätigt. In 2019 wurden interne Dateien von 9to5mac entdeckt, die sich in einem Build von iOS 13 versteckt haben. Ein neues internes System namens StarBoard ist für das Rendern und Verwalten von AR-Bildern auf dem iPhone und deren Darstellung auf dem AR-Headset verantwortlich.
Apple entwickelt angeblich zwei verschiedene Produkte
Der Fund hat damit Gerüchte bestätigt, wonach dieses Gerät ähnlich wie die erste Apple Watch mit WatchKit-Apps funktioniert. Doch damit nicht genug. Der iOS 13 Code enthüllte auch, dass das Unternehmen den AR-Modus mit Apps wie Maps, Find My und Quick Look (zum Erkunden von Webinhalten auf AR) sowie APIs zur Unterstützung von Spielen und anderen Anwendungen getestet hat. Seit damals wurden auch eine Reihe von Patenten entdeckt, die sich auf ein Gerät beziehen, das „virtuelle 3D-Ansichten der Umgebung eines Nutzers, die mit virtuellen Inhalten angereichert sind, bieten kann.“ Bloomberg beschrieb damals Apples AR-Headset als Brille, die Text, E-Mails, Karten, Spiele und andere Dinge durch holografische Displays, die in die Linse eingebaut sind, anzeigen kann. Letztes Jahr enthüllte Mark Gurman, dass das Unternehmen zwei Strategien für seine Augmented-Reality-Geräte hat, eine davon ist die AR-Brille und die andere ein robusteres AR/VR-Headset.
Dem Bericht zufolge zielt das Headset darauf ab, das Beste aus AR und VR zu kombinieren, um branchenführende Gaming- und Content-VR-Erlebnisse zu bieten während die schlanke und leichte Brille nur AR sein wird und sich darauf konzentriert, Daten wie Kartennavigation über das zu legen, was der Anwender in der realen Welt sieht.
Wann wird Apple das AR-Headset vorstellen?
Nachdem Apple in 2020 kein derartiges Produkt vorgestellt hat, wird 2021 mit Spannung beobachtet. Bloomberg hat vor einiger Zeit behauptet, dass das Apple AR/VR-Headset im Jahr 2021 oder 2022 vorgestellt werden könnte während „Apple Glasses“ aufgrund von Schwierigkeiten bei der Entwicklung und Herstellung erst 2023 erscheinen wird. Diese Information wurde im späteren Verlauf von anderen Quellen „bestätigt“. Der bekannte Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo hat erst kürzlich berichtet, dass Apple tatsächlich 2021 sein erstes Augmented-Reality-Gerät ankündigen wird. Ob es sich dabei um die AR-Brille oder das AR/VR-Headset handelt, ließ er offen.
Wird Apple „rOS“ im Rahmen der WWDC 2021 enthüllen?
Auch der Zeitpunkt wurde nicht kommentiert, weshalb davon auszugehen ist, dass ein solches Produkt eher im Herbst angekündigt wird. Apple könnte allerdings das neue Betriebssystem namens „rOS“ im Rahmen der WWDC 2021 im Sommer enthüllen. Wie dem auch sei. Fakt ist, dass Apple die ARKit-API und auch die Kameras auf den Geräten immer weiter verbessert hat, um ein besseres Augmented-Reality-Erlebnis zu ermöglichen. Der LiDAR-Scanner, der mit dem 2020er iPad Pro eingeführt wurde und auch in den iPhone 12 Pro Modellen enthalten ist, würde perfekt in ein neues AR-Gerät passen. Demnach bleibt das Ganze definitiv spannend. (Photo by World Image / Bigstockphoto)
