Video: Enabling augmented reality (AR) with lensless smart sensors

Rambus Lensless Smart Sensors (LSS) take a novel approach to sensing by combining ultra-small diffractive gratings with standard image sensors to deliver advanced capabilities in a form factor ideal for AR and VR devices.

So, how does LSS work? Put simply, light passes through the diffractive grating and is intelligently spread onto the image sensor to form an unrecognizable, yet information-rich blob that contains all relevant data about a user’s gaze. Due to its small footprint, LSS can be mounted in the frames of everyday eyewear.

Using your smartphone as a ticket in West Yorkshire

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is on track to kick off a trial run that will see a select group of train passengers use their smartphones as tickets. Rail services between Huddersfield and Leeds stations will participate in the trial, as both stations are equipped with ticket gates that support NFC technology.

Maximizing Von Neumann architecture

In 1945, mathematician and physicist John von Neumann described a design architecture for an electronic digital computer in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC. Also known as the Princeton architecture, the design included a processing unit with an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers; a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter; memory to store both data and instructions; external mass storage; as well as an input and output mechanism.

Rethink Technology Research talks CryptoMedia

DishTV India recently selected Rambus’ CryptoMedia Security Platform for use in its Pay TV satellite system. Essentially, CryptoMedia ensures secure distribution of premium content for cable and satellite operators with a hardware root-of-trust embedded in the set-top-box (STB) chipset that is resistant to side-channel attacks.

Rambus inks license agreement with Xilinx

Rambus has signed a license agreement with Xilinx that covers Rambus’ patented memory controller, SerDes and security technologies.

In addition, the two companies have agreed to evaluate potential collaboration on the use of Rambus’ CryptoManager platform, with Rambus also exploring the use of Xilinx FPGAs in its Smart Data Acceleration (SDA) research program.

Video: Evaluating Lensless Smart Sensors (POD 2.0)

Lensless Smart Sensor (LSS) technology is helping to enable a new generation of low-power sensing by capturing information-rich images with a low-cost phase grating, standard image sensors and sophisticated computational algorithms. To accelerate LSS adoption and further explore additional use cases, Rambus has released its POD 2.0 evaluation system for LSS technology.
