Emerging Tech Presentations

One Interesting Thing I Learned 

One of the most interesting things I learned is how lightweight and advanced AR glasses are becoming. For example, the ML Vision M5 AR glasses use onboard AI processing while still being ultra-light. I also learned that companies like Meta, Plessey, and Vuzix are developing micro-LED displays and captioning features for people with hearing impairments — showing that AR glasses can support accessibility, not just entertainment. 

Artifact From My Presentation 

• A definition of AR

• A comparison between AR and VR

• Examples of how AR glasses could impact daily life 

• Today's Breakthroughs

• The Hurdles on the Horizon

• Real research references, including waveguide lens technology made from silicon carbide (SiC) 

Lessons Learned 

This project taught me that new technology can be exciting, but we also have to think about how it affects people. While researching AR glasses, I learned how fast they are improving and how they might change the way we learn and communicate. I also realized that things like eye-tracking can raise privacy issues. This project helped me explain information more clearly, and it reminded me to think about both the benefits and the responsibilities that come with new technology.
