New 3D headset uses holograms and AI to create lifelike mixed reality visuals

Using 3D holograms polished by artificial intelligence, researchers introduce a lean, eyeglass-like 3D headset that they say is a significant step toward passing the “Visual Turing Test.”

“In the future, most virtual reality displays will be holographic,” said Gordon Wetzstein, a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University, holding his lab’s latest project: a virtual reality display that is not much larger than a pair of regular eyeglasses. “Holography offers capabilities that we can’t get with any other type of display in a package that is much smaller than anything on the market today.”

Holography is a Nobel Prize-winning 3D display technique that uses both the reflecting from an object, as with a traditional photograph, and the phase of the light (the way the waves synchronize), to produce a hologram, a highly realistic three-dimensional image of the original object.

Curved neural networks enable AI memory recall through geometric design

A new international study has introduced Curved Neural Networks—a new type of AI memory architecture inspired by ideas from geometry. The study shows that bending the “space” in which AI “thinks” can create explosive memory recall—an effect similar to a lightbulb moment in the human brain. The research opens new paths for brain-inspired computing, neuroscience, and even next-gen robotics, offering tools to better understand memory itself.

What if could remember things not just well, but faster or more reliably? A new international study has introduced a novel type of AI —one that addresses the challenge not with more data, but with .

A team of researchers from the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), Araya Inc., the University of Sussex, and Kyoto University has developed a new class of AI models called Curved Neural Networks.

Synthetic aperture waveguide holography for compact mixed-reality displays with large étendue

An ultra-thin mixed-reality (MR) display design that is based on a unique combination of waveguide holography and artificial intelligence-driven holography algorithms is demonstrated, creating visually comfortable and perceptually realistic 3D VR experiences in a compact wearable device.

No more insulin shots? This 3D-printed scientific leap could change diabetes treatment forever

Unlike traditional islet transplants — which are expensive, donor-limited, and prone to rejection — these 3D-printed islets are designed for better integration into the body. Implanted under the skin, the new islets respond to glucose fluctuations and begin producing insulin in real time, offering a more natural and automated regulation process.

Early tests revealed that the printed islets remained viable and fully functional for at least three weeks, a major improvement over past transplantation methods that often fail due to tissue damage and immune response.

Pushing the limits of chip design

Khalifa University is building the foundation for a smarter, more secure and more connected world, one silicon chip at a time.

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence and smart devices, the System-on-Chip Lab (SoCL) at Khalifa University is emerging as a regional hub of innovation. Led by Baker Mohammad, a professor of Computer and Information Engineering and a veteran with 15 years of experience at tech giants Intel and Qualcomm, the lab is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between fundamental research and market-ready solutions.

“We’re the only facility in the region with comprehensive expertise across the full electronics design stack, from devices to circuits to systems,” Mohammad explains. This distinctive capability allows the lab to address critical challenges in energy-efficient, high-performance edge devices for data-intensive AI applications, while also integrating hardware security to protect sensitive user data.
