Examining the effectiveness of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (VAMR) therapy for upper limb recovery and activities of daily living in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Sze Chit Leong et al.

Summary: This study reviewed the use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) in stroke rehabilitation and found that these technologies have a positive impact on improving upper limb function and activities of daily living (ADL). However, they do not have a significant effect on upper limb function tests. Future studies should focus on subgroup analysis of stroke type and recovery stage to examine the effect of these technologies on upper limb function measures.

Waveguide combiners for mixed reality headsets: a nanophotonics design perspective

Bernard C. Kress et al.

Summary: The paper reviews and analyzes the implementation architectures of diffractive waveguide combiners for AR, MR, and smart glasses, highlighting the potential of these devices to revolutionize various aspects of daily life. However, challenges such as comfort and immersion need to be addressed through a human-centric optical design process, matching display architecture to human visual perception. This deep understanding of human perception is crucial for delivering both a comfortable and immersive experience to end users while ensuring reasonable production costs.

Broadband cholesteric liquid crystal lens for chromatic aberration correction in catadioptric virtual reality optics

Yannanqi Li et al.

Summary: The designed planar and broadband cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) lens hybridized with a refractive lens forms a catadioptric pancake lens for virtual reality (VR) displays. The chromatic aberration of the assembled pancake lens is dramatically suppressed due to the opposite optical dispersion behaviors, showing great potential for next-generation VR displays.
