Radiant Presents a Technical Talk on Considerations for Measuring the Visual Performance of Augmented Reality Displays at the SPIE AR, VR, MR Conference

Radiant’s presentation will provide a brief overview of near-eye display metrology with a focus on the specific requirements of testing AR and MR displays, given their narrow FOV and transparent display substrates.

REDMOND, Wash. (PRWEB)
January 20, 2020

Radiant Vision Systems, a leading provider of photometric imaging solutions for light and display measurement, announces that it will present at the 2020 SPIE AR, VR, MR Conference, taking place February 2-4, 2020, at Moscone West in San Francisco, California—one of several events surrounding SPIE Photonics West. Eric Eisenberg, Optics Development Manager at Radiant, will present his paper titled “Measuring and qualifying optical performance of AR/VR/MR device displays and addressing the unique visual requirements of transparent AR displays” during the first day of the conference. The presentation is part of the conference Technical Talks and takes place during Session 2C: AR/VR Display Optics Measurements and Analysis on the first day of the conference, Sunday, February 2, from 10:40 A.M. to 11:40 A.M in Room 2011 (Level 2 West).

Ensuring the quality of augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headset displays requires precise measurement within the context of the human visual experience. Because these displays are viewed so close to the eye, even minor defects and irregularities can be noticed by the wearer, potentially interfering with functionality and user experience. The goal of an effective measurement system is to replicate human vision so as to characterize these defects and irregularities as they are visualized through the optical geometry of AR/VR headsets or glasses. In AR displays, considerations must be made for the viewing conditions that are constrained by unique fields of view (FOV), eyebox sizes, and visual performance of the transparent display’s virtual projection onto a real-world scene. These systems must meet performance thresholds for display brightness, contrast, and image sharpness in order to be distinguished when overlaid with a changing background and variable lighting conditions.

As part of the SPIE AR, VR, MR Conference Technical Talks, Radiant’s presentation will provide a brief overview of near-eye display metrology with a focus on the specific requirements of testing AR and MR displays, given their narrow FOV and transparent display substrates. The presentation will cover optical configurations and performance parameters, how to address AR measurement challenges, and recent research into testing new types AR optical architectures to match the human visual experience.

Presenting the Technical Talk on behalf of Radiant Vision Systems is Eric Eisenberg, Optics Development Manager on Radiant’s Engineering team. Eisenberg has spent years developing solutions to help display manufacturers and their upstream suppliers ensure quality and improve efficiencies in both design and production. With extensive hands-on experience incorporating imaging technology into diverse applications worldwide, he has a deep understanding of the technical considerations required for successful implementation. Prior to joining Radiant, Eisenberg held Optical Engineering roles at Lockheed Martin and Terabeam. He is the inventor of multiple patents and has a BS in Laser and Optical Engineering from the Oregon Institute of Technology.

S’moresUp Your Partner in Parenting

LOS ALTOS, Calif. (PRWEB)
January 17, 2020

S’moresUp (smoresUp.com), a family app that uses Silicon Valley tools like like data-driven decisions and predictive analysis to help 200,000 family members optimize their household and teach their kids critical life skills by using behavior analysis, has just launched its Premium offering as it transitions into “Smart Parenting.”

Modern technology and software development has changed at lighting speed, but parenting hasn’t caught up. Parents are still using dry erase boards, printable charts, markers and stickers and ideas from past decades to teach kids critical life lessons like financial management, self-discipline, forming good habits, and online safety. What’s more, it’s challenging for non digital native parents from earlier generations to know how to manage modern screen time.

Now boasting a 4.5-star rating on both Android and iOS and growing to 200,000 family members in just one year, the latest S’moresUp app Premium offering launches a new “Digital Health” category to teach kids how to self-manage screen time, based on safe screen time recommendation from the Academy of Pediatrics; Sets reminders or reassigns chores to a single or a group of family members; Establishes “Clear Rewards” that teaches responsibility with a penalty for late completion; Creates birds eye view of goals and rewards history to analyze long term behavioral trends like speed of task, completion to set long term goals and seeing where kids are struggling the most, and much more.

“We created this app out of necessity,” said Priya Rajendran, CEO, and Co-Founder of S’moresUp, and single working mom of a teenager. “Silicon Valley has been using and perfecting these tools for years but when I was looking for a similar tool to manage my family, I couldn’t find one. So we built one trying to solve the problems I was seeing in my household, and are now perfecting it using the feedback from our users who are parents.”

S’moresUp:

Helps Kids Learn Critical Life Skills

Tasks and chores that can be assigned on the app teach life skills and healthy habits, like getting enough sleep, being disciplined about screen time limits, getting enough outside time, finishing projects, learning how to save and spend, and more.

Does Behavior Analysis To Provide Parents with Insights Around Their Kid’s Learning

Based on the data from chore completion and reward/goal practices, performs trend analysis and highlights critical learning metrics for kids.

Creates Goal Settings through Rewards and Goals

Kids learn about “Smart Spending” through “Rewards” and the power of delayed gratification with goal setting and begin to understand the benefits of spending and saving through simple hands-on exercises.

Helps Kids Form Long Term Habits Through Advanced Analytics

Monthly analytics reports show which tasks kids have done, how many rewards they have received, and the speed of completion. It catches long term behavioral trends or red flags parents can watch out for.

Creates a Fail-Safe Calendar System

A calendar that all family members have access to that cuts back on forgotten appointments and scheduling chaos. It creates an opportunity to practice self-management for young adults.

Creates A Walled Off Family Environment

It’s a safe, walled-off family environment for secure, private family member collaboration, with no ads and where a family’s data belongs only to them.

The app has been well-received by families. As one reviewer of the app writes, “It’s like having a tech-savvy family member helping me stay on top of this parenting thing.” A second user writes, “A fantastic app that has really helped to make my kids more accountable and cut back on screen time! I highly recommend it. You can personalize the chores and rewards to fit your family and there is a community board that is so helpful!”

“Parents deserve a modern family management system built for the 21st century and beyond,” said Reeves Xavier co-founder of S’moresUp. “We are looking to eliminate the most mundane tasks of parenting like reminding and remembering, and replacing it with data-driven parenting that helps families run their households efficiently.”

About S’moresUp

S’moresUp is a family organizer that creates data-driven parents. It provides parents tools to help their kids learn critical life skills and healthy habits while managing chores, allowances, and schedules through a secured private family network, where a family’s data is safe.
