Glasses-free, three-dimensional (3D) displays are promising technologies that will redefine the display industry. However, a few issues such as limited motion parallax, short range of viewing distance, vergence—accommodation conflict, and self-repeating views hinder the widespread usage of 3D displays.

In many industries, AI, although promising, has not matured enough to be efficiently implemented. In this article, IDS reflects on why many facility operators are still reluctant to deploy pioneering AI systems.
AI is a great way to carry out repetitive tasks requiring high performance. In this "Vision Guided Robot" use case, IDS demonstrates how pick & place tasks can be automated with AI and robots, making even PCs redundant.
Spacecraft powered by solar sails propelled by photons could explore interstellar space, redefining the term “traveling light.”
