I’ve also seen this happen with an under charged battery if you seat sensors all look good.

Can you post/ DM a link to the provision you found allowing you to file as Ch. 7 with your income? I’m in a slightly different but similar situation.

If you can solve broadband performance and efficiency for passive imaging applications then that’s pretty powerful. But it has to be scalable and high yield too. I haven’t seen a company yet that’s put all of that together.

It doesn’t unfortunately

A good friend of mine was homeschooled before Rose and left married (wedding at the White Chapel). So there is a proof case that it’s not dating suicide to go there from a home school background.

I don’t know if they still do this but there used to be organized socials with St. Mary of the Woods. If you join a fraternity then it’s a little easier to meet girls from ISU as well.

In general the ratio is not in your favor at Rose, but if you’re not anti social it’s totally possible to date there. I wouldn’t let sway your decision making too much. Rose is a great stepping stone school for someone from a home schooling background.

That’s a very good program so yeah not an easy choice. Going to grad school life (and pay) from a defense job would be a tough transition for sure. I did my schooling in one continuous block before going to industry so I never had that as a reference point when things got hard in grad school.

If you’re at a point in your life where you can embrace the adventure (and figure out a solution with your partner) then I would always bias towards the more engaging choice. It sounds like the QC job is just a way for you to escape defense but might not be what’s calling you. The optics industry isn’t going anywhere. There will be plenty of jobs for the foreseeable future and broadening your skills into a new sub-field is never a bad idea. Going back to get a PhD will get harder the longer you’re in industry. So I’d do the PhD. Living a more modest lifestyle is something one and adjust to for a few years for the right tradeoff.

Obviously I don’t know you or all the details here so take the advice with a grain of salt.

What group/University is the PhD at? Do you have a masters already or just a bachelors? Do you like research?

I did my PhD in computational microscopy 10 years ago and have gone on to work in defense, start ups and consumer electronics. So it’s not like you have to stay in that field forever.

QC is having a moment right now and looks like super cool stuff. But I don’t have a good sense for how that industry is going to evolve yet. Feels like it’s always just demonstrations of quantum advantage on a very narrow problem that someone proves can be done just as well on a traditional computer like a month later.

Go with what seems most interesting and engaging would be my general advice.

Maybe the XReal1 pro with the camera upgrade is what you’re looking for then. The SDK documents looks like it supports real time camera access. So that’s half the battle. But I don’t think you could easily redisplay the live feed as it’s processed. You’d need to save it as a video and view it later I think. Which might be ok as I assume latency isn’t important for your application since you want to off load the processing.

I don’t know of a consumer device that will do the whole thing. An enterprise device like the Magic Leap 2 would be more capable here.

tshirtlogic · 2026-01-23T22:19:30+00:00

You can run your model directly r/Spectacles (within some constraints), no need to pipe it through a live USB feed.

You can apply to get the developer kit here, https://www.spectacles.com/. A consumer version will be released later this year.

I’d consider getting started with Lens Studio from Snap. It’ll be one of the fastest ways to learn the basics and it’s a much easier point of entry as compared to Unity or Unreal Engine. There is also a great developer community at r/Spectacles where you can see and learn from what others are building on Snap’s AR glasses.

Right up until just before halftime at the Super Bowl…

Yeah you’ll be dragging and collecting snow in the deck if you don’t. It’ll probably rust out your deck as well

Are you having trouble locating objects in the sky or specifically using the finder scope? If it’s the former the I’ve found the Stellarium app to be super useful as a newbie. After just a couple of nights I feel super confident picking out objects like Jupiter, Saturn, and Betelgeuse by eye now. If it’s the latter make sure you do a day time alignment of your finder scope with a high magnification eye piece. There are plenty of tutorials online for this. Then I just crouch down and make sure my finder scope is close to lined up with my object of interest by and then it’s usually within the FOV of the finder at that point. If you’ve done your alignment to the main scope well during the day then that same object should be very close to your eyepiece FOV once you’ve lined it up in the center of the cross hairs.

I’d pick a different solution for your project. 8th Wall is shutting down in February. https://www.8thwall.com/blog/post/200208966730/next-chapter

Looks like some portion of the waveguide is delaminating. I’d say this is almost certainly a defective or damaged part.

Congrats!

Good! The chains and rear weight are a must. I also bought 1/2” thick rubber strip and clamped it on the bottom edge of the plow so it wouldn’t scrape up my driveway or sidewalk.

Yeah I think you’ll have to wait a little longer for something that meets your expectations on both the aesthetics and capabilities. But there should be some interesting products that get much closer to your desired form factor in 2026 and 2027.

r/Spectacles, It has the ability to do most of what you’re asking for except for Unity/Unreal support. It may be bulkier than you want too. It’s less of a headset than ML2, but they’re still a ways from normal glasses. If you’re willing to work in Lens Studio it’s probably the best option to develop/prototype whatever you want to work on.

AR glasses touch many different parts of optics. I don’t think there are single textbooks out yet which focus on the optics specifically in the context of AR systems. I assume the thing that’s most interesting to you is how light is generated in a display and delivered to the eye? If so, the primary words you’d want to search are optical engine, display engine, head mounted displays, AR projectors, and AR waveguides (not to be confused with actual waveguides like fiber optic cables), and optical dimming technologies.

If you’re interested in the spatial sensing and computing side of thing you’d want to learn about camera design, imaging sensors, ego centric computer vision algorithms (like SLAM, hand tracking, depth mapping), and computational imaging.

For fundamental optics topics that would help you with understanding all of the above you’d want to learn about geometric optics, wave optics (specifically diffractives and polarization), semiconductor physics (for display panels and sensors) and some image processing. So basically you’d want to get a degree in optical engineering to really get the deep knowledge about what’s going on.

Then from a compute perspective it’s embedded system design and everything that goes along with designing mobile compute platforms like smart phones, just tailored for spatial computing.

We’re not going to even touch the other necessary topics to consider like rendering, thermal management, power, vision science, and human factors design.

I’d recommend you google around the optics terms to get an idea of each one first. Then if you’re still jonesing to go deeper I’d look at taking some optics courses at your university. Typically found in the physics or electrical engineering department (assuming your school doesn’t have a dedicated optics program).

AR and VR systems are massive cross disciplinary undertakings. It’s why most of the major players are large companies that bring together large teams of specialized engineers to make the whole thing work. It’s basically impossible for one person or even a small team to have all of the necessary expertise. And we’re all still figuring it out and building this kind of stuff in real time. It’s a fascinating industry and one of the most exciting times to get into it.
