Hi, I have a question about augmented reality/EPE. If this isn’t allowed in this sub, please let me know a better place to post it. Also, I didn’t know what flair to put, but I guess an ARG is considered fun? I have ZERO experience with this kind of stuff, but what is EPE/Exit Pupil Expander? Like the basics of it. I’m asking because of an ARG called LoreFi; there is a Morse code that translates to ‘I spy with my little EPE’ and so I googled it, and it said it had something to do with augmented reality. I assume it has something to do with eyes because of the word ‘pupil,’ but I don’t really know anything about AR in general.
EPE stands for Exit Pupil Expander, and it’s a technology that helps improve the viewing experience in augmented reality devices. It works by expanding the exit pupil, which is the point where the light exits the optical system, making it easier to see the augmented elements.
You’re right about the pupil part! The idea is to enhance how AR content is viewed, especially when using headsets or glasses. It can make things more comfortable and immersive.
Sounds interesting! Is this technology used in consumer AR devices, or is it more for research and development?
I love LoreFi! The use of Morse code is such a cool way to engage the community. Have you figured out any other clues?
If you’re curious about AR in general, there are plenty of resources online that explain the basics. It’s a fascinating field!
