In nearly any popular science fiction movie, the vehicles of the future can do wild and amazing things like flying or driving by themselves or projecting all manner of information on the windshields.
On day one of CES 2020, Daniel Litwin, the Voice of B2B, checked in with Andy Travers, CEO, Ceres Holographics, to learn more about the innovative solutions and business opportunities hologram technology provides.
Ceres Holographics, an innovative developer of thin-film Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs) for next-generation transparent display (TD) and augmented reality head-up-display (AR-HUD) solutions, announced its latest TD prototype system that offers key advantages for automotive applications including full-color display, wide field of view and desired small package size.
Prophesee announced it has closed a $28 million round of venture capital as it seeks to accelerate the rollout of its machine vision sensors.
The Paris-based company’s technology is designed to mimic functions of the human eye, a dynamic it refers to as “neuromorphic.” The tech was initially targeted at Industry 4.0 applications like predictive maintenance, but Prophesee plans to push beyond that market to begin targeting automotive, VR/AR, internet of things (IoT), and other sectors.
In the mining and aggregates sector, half of your success is in the planning. Being prepared to have inventory available, shipments ready, and sales expedited accurately and efficiently can improve productivity and profitability. And being ready for peak seasons is crucial to making money.
Society’s obsession with new gadgetry has wreaked havoc on the environment: Close to 50 million tons of toxic e-waste are generated each year, and the mostly Africa-based supply chains for cobalt and rare earth metals used in components are riddled with human rights violations and planet-damaging mining practices.
Drones, also known as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), have improved by leaps and bounds over the last few years, with higher payloads, better cameras, better maneuverability and controllability (including sensors for object detection/collision avoidance), and improved software and systems on the back end for gathering, disseminating, and analyzing data.
When we think of drones, we think of those that are commercially available where they are used for photography or videography purposes. However, drones have much more potential than just grabbing photos or videos, and have been finding a fair amount of commercial use. For example, drones can be used to survey construction sites.
Lidar is considered the primary sensor for self-driving cars, acting as the ideal complement to cameras and radar. Beam steering is often the defining component of a lidar system, determining performance, size, and reliability.
As autonomous cars and robots loom over the landscapes of cities and jobs alike, the technologies that empower them are forming sub-industries of their own.
