Applications

Scenarios where installing a display is prohibitive (cost, space, etc.) and a low-cost LED can be used:

• Signage and Information in Public Environments:
  • Train stations/airports: Instead of expensive information panels for schedules, delays, or directions, simple LEDs could be installed to project information directly onto the glasses of people in certain areas. This reduces the installation and maintenance costs of physical screens.
  • Museums and art galleries: Next to artworks, small LEDs could provide additional information, anecdotes, or historical context directly in the visitor’s view, without cluttering the exhibition space with signs.
  • Archaeological/tourist sites outdoors: Instead of information panels that can deteriorate or spoil the aesthetics of the site, discreet LEDs could overlay virtual reconstructions, maps, or explanations as the tourist looks at the area.
• Assistance and Guidance in Industrial and Logistics Environments:
  • Warehouses: Strategically placed LEDs could project picking instructions, product information, or optimal routes directly onto the glasses of operators, eliminating the need for handheld terminals or fixed screens on forklifts.
  • Production lines: Assembly instructions, diagrams, or safety warnings could be projected by simple LEDs positioned above workstations, leaving workers’ hands free and reducing the clutter of paper manuals or screens.
  • Maintenance and repair: Technicians working on complex machinery could receive schematics, diagrams, or step-by-step instructions projected by small LEDs positioned near the component to be repaired.
• Safety and Navigation:
  • Vehicles (non-autonomous): Essential information such as basic navigation prompts (direction, distance) could be projected by an LED on the dashboard, without the need for a complex display that distracts the driver.
  • Emergency situations: In scenarios with poor visibility (fires, fog), LEDs placed along evacuation routes could project directional arrows or safety information directly into the view of rescuers or evacuees.
• Accessibility and Assistance:
  • Visually impaired people: Simple LEDs could project enlarged text or symbols directly onto glasses, facilitating the reading of signs, menus, or other environmental information.
• Defense and Military (Low-cost and space-constrained scenarios):
  • Temporary position markers: In rapid tactical situations, small LEDs could be used to project temporary markers on walls or objects, visible only to those wearing glasses, to coordinate movements or signal hazards.
  • Discreet reference points: In reconnaissance operations, low-emission LEDs could project discreet reference points visible only to operators with glasses, without alerting potential enemies.
  • Silent basic communications: Simple LEDs could project short text messages or symbols for silent basic communications between team members.

Key advantages in these scenarios:

• Drastically reduced cost: A single LED is significantly cheaper than a complete display.
• Minimal footprint: LEDs take up extremely little space, easily integrating into space-constrained environments.
• Simplicity of installation and maintenance: Installing an LED is much simpler and less expensive than installing a screen. Maintenance is minimal.
• Resistance: LEDs are generally more resistant to weather and impacts than fragile displays.
• Reduced energy consumption (for the projector): A single LED consumes less energy than a display.

The idea of leveraging the image reconstruction capabilities of Holo Lux glasses makes it possible to overcome the physical and economic limitations associated with installing traditional displays, opening up new possibilities for disseminating information efficiently and discreetly in a wide range of sectors, including defense.
