AR + AI: Evolution from Tool to “Second Brain”

Dr. Qiu Xiaoling, CFO of JBD, has recently delivered a penetrating analysis of the MicroLED microdisplay and AR glasses ecosystem, illuminating how these once-independent frontiers are coalescing to redefine wearable AI. As AI evolves from merely being “smarter” toward truly “more attuned to you,” users increasingly expect an always-on digital assistant. AR glasses have emerged as the quintessential conduit for frictionless, context-aware interaction, and the ultra-compact MicroLED microdisplay has become the linchpin technology that turns the vision of lightweight, all-day wearable intelligence into daily reality. The fusion of AI and AR offers consumers a far more natural, convenient means of interaction and is catalyzing a revolution in smart wearable electronics. Meta’s CTO Andrew Bosworth has remarked, “The always‑on AI experience will allow smart glasses to replace the smartphone.”  [News] AR + AI: Evolution from Tool to “Second Brain” – LEDinside

Pickleball & Tennis Court Illumination by U.S. Architectural Lighting

U. S. Architectural Lighting recently introduced Baseline – Pickleball & Tennis Court Lighting. Designed specifically for the court, Baseline uses a Type IV CL precision optic designed especially to meet IESNA / USA Pickleball / USTA Standard Performance Criteria for court photometrics. The luminaires distribute uniform light across the court surface without creating hot spots. To minimize glare, the light is directed at a low angle onto the court surface avoiding direct glare into the eyes of the players to prevent discomfort or distractions during play. The Baseline is available in five sizes in wattages from 85W to 550W, with up to four fixtures per pole, in parallel assembly arrangements, allowing a wide range of lumen packages. https://usaltg.com/product/bas/

 

NIGHT BREAKER® LED SMART ECE H11 – The First ECE Approved LED Retrofit Lamp from OSRAM

The NIGHT BREAKER® LED SMART ECE H11 is approved as a direct replacement for H11 halogen lamps. It delivers a modern bright white light with a color temperature of up to 6000 Kelvin. Its impressive light output ensures optimum visibility for the driver, while the glare seen by other road users is up to 50 percent less than the legally permissible maximum values. Compared to standard halogen lamps, these LED retrofit lamps consume up to 60 percent less energy and last up to six times longer thanks to LED technology and the specially developed vibration-resistant design. These characteristics make the NIGHT BREAKER® LED SMART ECE H11 a cost-effective and eco-friendly retrofit solution. For the first time there is no need for a compatibility list, no need to verify the headlamp approval number, no need to carry official approval documents, and no need to affix stickers.

Valeo and Appotronics Announce Strategic Partnership for Next-Generation Front Lighting System

The ALL-in-ONE system integrates several advanced functions in one compact module: the Valeo Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), road surface projection, and in-car cinema capabilities. Its smart system automatically optimizes lighting for different driving scenarios—extending illumination range with high beams on highways, and preventing glare with glare-free beams in urban areas. In addition, the headlight also offers 10-level brightness adjustment, complete with auto-focus, keystone correction, and image scaling capabilities. The ALL-in-ONE headlight is powered by Appotronics’ proprietary ALPD® semiconductor laser technology, which delivers 10 times the brightness of standard automotive LEDs with 200% greater luminous flux using equivalent DLP chips – all while consuming less energy. https://www.ledinside.com/news/2025/4/2025_04_25_06

General Motors Unveils New Futuristic Concept, Which Is a Corvette in Name Only

It’s a beautiful vision of an all-electric, wide hypercar, but it has nothing to do with the Corvette mark. One of three General Motors will unveil over the next year, each from a different design studio. It’s a beautiful supercar — low and wide with a classic mid-engine bubble-cockpit profile — but you’d never know it’s a Corvette. The front fin lights recall the design codes of GM’s premium label, Cadillac. The wrap-around windshield borrows from Koenigsegg and Saab. The porous aero elements mirror other electric hypercars like the Lotus Evija and Porsche Mission X, while the split between smooth upper aero and aggressive lower carbon elements appears on countless modern supercars.

The Drone-Delivery Service Beating Amazon to Your Front Door

Soon your burrito bowl could arrive via the sky. Zipline’s drones make deliveries by lowering small coolers on 300-foot cables. A drone delivery startup Zipline is in the flying delivery race—competitors include Amazon and Google parent Alphabet—has emerged as a front-runner. For now, initial commercial testing in the U.S. is happening in Pea Ridge and Mesquite, Texas, just outside Dallas. Walmartis the only retail operation Zipline delivers for in the U.S. at present. For future partners, Zipline has designed a small pickup kiosk that can be installed just outside any building.  Alphabet’s Wing drone service is already in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, delivering from 18 Walmarts to 40 nearby towns and cities within the drones’ six-mile range. Amazon is operating its drone delivery service in College Station, Texas, and an area near Phoenix, but in terms of scale, the online retail giant remains a distant third.
