Smart glasses must balance ultra-small size, low power operation, excellent field-of-view, and a wide eyebox.
As its first activity, the LaSAR Alliance plans to integrate ST's MEMS micromirror platform and BIPOLAR-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology, Osram's ultra-compact light sources, and Applied Materials and Disfelix's waveguide elements into the MegaOne's miniature optical light engine.
Going forward, the LaSAR Alliance plans to develop, market, and support all key technology elements required for the development, adoption, and mass production of AR-enabled smart glass applications.

"Beyond the Era of Knowing Technology to the Era of Proving Technology"…e4ds Tech Day 2026 Concludes Successfully
e4ds' 'e4ds Tech Day 2026' held on September 8th at the Korea Science and Technology Hall concluded successfully. This event, centered on SDV and edge AI, focused on presenting practical application standards and utilization directions in actual industrial settings rather than on technology itself. CEO Myung Se-hwan emphasized the 'era of proving technology' and presented the importance of practical decision-making criteria, while Director Gwak Su-jin of the Korea Automobile Research Institute outlined the future mobility ecosystem based on AIDV and Physical AI. Subsequently, Shin Dong-joo, CEO of Mobilint, explained the role of edge AI semiconductors as core infrastructure in the Physical AI era. At the end of the event, the TechDay Contest 2026 awards ceremony and winning project presentations were held, sharing actual technology implementation cases and presenting a vision for building a collective intelligence ecosystem in the industrial field. The awards in this ceremony were presented respectively by Mouser Electronics and STMicroelectronics, both platinum sponsors of e4ds Tech Day 2026. Daphne Tien, Vice President of Mouser, and Matteo Marabita, Center Director of STMicroelectronics APAC AI Competence Center, presented awards directly to the winners.
