MicroVision, Inc. announced it is showcasing the capabilities of its PicoP® scanning technology for display, interactive display and 3D LiDAR sensing at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, January 9-12, 2018. MicroVision has announced plans to offer display and sensing engines based on the ability of its patented PicoP® scanning technology to enable projected displays for personal projection products and AR and VR applications, interactive display that integrates projected display and 3D sensing for touch and gesture recognition, and 3D LiDAR sensing for consumer and automotive applications. MicroVision has prepared demonstrations that highlight its advances in these areas that the company will be featuring in its meeting suites at CES 2018. Display: MicroVision will be showcasing an assessment unit of the brighter display it is developing and an adaptation of its display engine to project on see-through glass; Interactive Display: MicroVision will be demonstrating its latest engine form factor and its ability to capture objects using 3D sensing while simultaneously projecting images and content; and 3D LiDAR Sensing: The company’s demonstration system highlights the small form factor the company plans for this engine product. The demonstration showcases how MicroVision technology creates a new class of 3D LiDAR sensor that is expected to be smaller and more cost-effective than products currently available in the market. In 2017 the company launched a commercial display engine and announced plans for a brighter display, delivered development kits of its interactive display engine for customer evaluation, and made significant progress developing its 3D LiDAR sensing engine.
MicroVision, Inc. is a developer and supplier of lidar hardware and software solutions focused on the automotive lidar and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) markets. It is engaged in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS)-based laser beam scanning technology that integrates MEMS, lasers, optics, hardware, algorithms and machine learning software into its technology to address existing and emerging markets. Its patented laser beam scanning technology combines a MEMS scanning mirror, laser diode light sources, electronics, and optics that are controlled using its system control algorithms, along with edge computing and machine learning in some systems. It has developed micro-display concepts and designs for use in head-mounted augmented reality (AR) headsets and developed a 1440i MEMS module supporting AR headsets. It also developed an interactive display solution targeted at the smart speakerâs market and a small consumer lidar sensor for use indoors with smart home systems.
