MEMS based laser-scanning is a technology platform that enables a wide range of applications including LIDAR, optical switching, and optical projectors. Within the field of optical projectors, this technology has been explored as a display solution for Augmented Reality (AR) headsets. This solution has several strengths including high brightness, high contrast, and compact form factor. At the same time, challenges exist around spatio-temporal perceptual artifacts, image quality, and MEMS performance. In this talk, I will discuss novel methods for addressing the perception challenges as well as MEMS requirements needed to enable these solutions.
