The ultimate goal for near-eye displays is visual acuity-limited resolution across a wide field of view. Alces Technology has a novel light engine, capable of better than 3k x 6k resolutions without tiling, yet maintaining the temporal qualities necessary for fast-jet simulations. This light engine leverages existing technologies and investments by the Air Force for new and novel applications. Under this project, Alces will demonstrate the necessary subsystems and develop a design for a revolutionary, lightweight, portable, inexpensive, ultra high-resolution head-mounted display light engine.
