Efficiency issues and Color Shift issues are unlikely to be resolved for some time to come.

Waveguides are not a new technology, and ALL consumer VR headsets use stereoscopic imaging for 3D effects. Maybe do research before posting a video

The claim made at 1:47 is objectively wrong and anyone who knows even a little bit about VR knows this. What a massive, embarrassing mistake from a supposedly reputable outlet. This one moment has shattered all credibility CNET has with me and I’m not sure I can keep watching you guys. All thanks to this one moron you got for this video.

Seriously, CNET, where did you guys find this joker?

I have double vision and the best prescriptions with a prism can only move one image in one eye up or. Down. It can not adjust for a slight 5degree side to side. Can this technology eventually help me see clearly eventually?

How does a table with a laser and some lenses look like normal glasses?

  Proof of concept is part of prototyping. The discovery here is more on how they bend light that would produce an image directly to your eyes. Most VR headset direct lights using a separate module of reflective mirrors. If we can somehow implement a solid glass that would produce a quality image and possibly depending on the frequency we could activate only a certain portion of the glass then we can compact it into a small piece of technology. With AI they could possibly add a recognition that would add a depth of field.
  
  Anyhow, this didn’t tell us that it would work or not since it hadn’t been tested on humans.
  
  Looks really cool though.

Okay Velma. You tell yourself that.
Jokes aside, I’m sure the “normal” is just because it’s relative to the prototypes looking ungaudy. This is the most normal one they’ve made so far.

Wonder if it would be easier to create something like the comm pads they had on The Expanse. Not holographic since we aren’t there yet, but still using the clear glass as a screen akin to a modern cellphone.

Or you could just use waveguides and glasses made by Vuzix, which actually exist in the commercial and consumer world, though no one apparently wants to talk about them.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
