Brendan Mccarthy

A St. John's-based tech start-up whose aim is to “fundamentally disrupt” a global industry worth $150 billion says it is well on its way to that goal with the release of its first-generation light-field display.

Avalon Holographics says the 29-inch development system represents a significant milestone in realizing a fully immersive, natural 3D experience.

“Despite the challenges COVID-19 has presented, it's an exciting time for our company,” said president and co-founder Wally Haas in a news release.

“Our prototype serves as proof of concept and we're excited to show the world how natural 3D light-field displays will change the way we produce, view and understand visual content.

“Our goal is to fundamentally disrupt the $150-B global display industry, and our prototype launch signals that we're well on the way.”

The advanced holographic display system is designed to present 3D content without the need for accessories such as glasses or headsets.

    Rheinmetall rolls out robot rescue vehicle at CANSEC 2019

    DAVID PUGLIESE, OTTAWA CITIZEN Rheinmetall has rolled out at CANSEC 2019 in Ottawa a rescue model of its “Mission Master” robotic vehicle. The vehicle gives soldiers the ability to evacuate casualties over long distances either autonomously or via remote control. The rescue robot vehicle comes equipped with two basket stretchers with sliding provisions, head and foot immobilizers, oxygen masks and canisters, a monitor defibrillator, and other medical gear. All of these items would be impossible for a medic to carry on foot, Rheinmetall points out. Troops can operate the Mission Master from near or far using autonomous navigation. While transporting a wounded soldier using the system's stretcher, for example, accompanying medics can use the vehicle as a workstation to administer emergency care. Using the “follow me” function, the rescue robot can roll alongside other soldiers, who are busy making sure that the surrounding area is safe and secure, the company noted. “In both “follow me” and autonomous navigation modes, the Mission Master significantly relieves cognitive and physical stress, allowing troops to deal with the mission at hand,” according to Rheinmetall. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/rheinmetall-rolls-out-robot-rescue-vehicle-at-cansec-2019
