At JOYA Team, we always try to search for more effective ways and platforms to share our knowledge and expertise with others and reach out to more people that can learn from us.
Publishing in Photonics Views Magazine
One of the most interesting invitations we accepted was writing a tutorial article for the Photonics Views magazine. This magazine is valued by many in the photonics community and hosts very interesting articles from technology development and products companies. It’s been an honor and a privilege to write an article for this magazine, and since we had so much to say on the subject, the paper turned into 2-parts tutorial article.

Collaborative Article: XR System Development
The subject of this article by Olga Resnik with the assistance and combined knowledge of our entire team is Augmented / Virtual / Mixed Reality Systems Optical Terminology. In fact, we believe that every XR system development is based on the deep understanding of different aspects of the system and their connection to the user experience and the specific use case the system is trying to solve. So here we attempt to create a reference for the various optical terms.
We want to share our experience of more than two decades with the professional community and create a standard for everyone, starting from entrepreneurs with use case and application ideas, system engineers that define the system architecture and requirements, optical designers and engineers that develop these systems, assembly and testing engineers, and technicians.
Part I: Imaging Parameters in XR development
The first article covers the basic Imaging parameters of the Extended Reality system parameters. We dive into their definition, explanation, different technological and engineering insights on a system design level and considerations for the formation of system requirements based on the use-case specifics. In this part we talk about:
Field of View
Pixel Resolution
CTF / MTF
We consider the difficult trade-offs that are a part of every system development and their impact on the user experience, what considerations are important and in general how the use-case driven development can differentiate a winning and successful product that is adopted by the market.

Part II: Non-Imaging Parameters in XR development
The second article of the tutorial covers the basic Non-Imaging parameters of the Extended Reality systems. We dive into their definition, explanation, different technological and engineering insights on a system design level and considerations for the formation of system requirements based on the use-case specifics. We talk about:
Spectrum &Polarization
Ghost &Stray Light
Uniformity
Here also we consider the difficult trade-offs that are a part of every system development and their impact on the user experience, what considerations are important and in general how the use-case driven development can differentiate a winning and successful product that is adopted by the market. This part concludes the article considering both imaging and non-imaging system aspects.
