Developing an optical system, especially for AR glasses, is a complex task requiring significant investment in time and money. It involves integrating various specialized fields, each contributing to different stages of the development process. Success requires not only technical expertise but also seamless collaboration across disciplines, precise coordination, and a well-structured process.
The Relay Race of AR Optical Development
In developing AR glasses, the project resembles a relay race, where the baton is passed between different fields, with each phase requiring leadership from a specific discipline while receiving support from others. For example, a system engineer might start the project, setting the pace for development while drawing on the expertise of an optical designer, physicist, electro-optics engineer, and production engineer. As the project progresses, leadership passes to the optical designer, who then takes the lead, supported by the other disciplines.
This relay race approach is crucial for the successful development of AR glasses. However, it introduces potential points of failure if not managed correctly:
Inadequate Support Across Disciplines
Each stage requires comprehensive support from all relevant disciplines. A lack of engagement or miscommunication between teams can lead to gaps, resulting in delays, increased costs, and suboptimal performance.
Ineffective Transition Between Development Stages
Transitions must be smooth and systematic. A rigid approach that fails to adapt to each phase's needs can cause the project to get stuck, requiring additional rounds of development and rework.
Lack of Skills and Experience
The success of an AR development project depends on the skills and experience of the team members. If the team lacks the necessary skills or experience, it can lead to big mistakes that affect the quality of the final product.
Lack of Organization
Without a clear plan that defines who does what and when, the project can become messy and inefficient. This can cause confusion, duplicated efforts, and ultimately slow down progress.
Consequences of Mismanagement of AR Optical Development
When these challenges are not properly addressed, they typically result in several adverse outcomes:
Extended Development Timelines
Delays become inevitable, prolonging the time to market.
Escalating Costs
Additional rounds of development and rework drive up costs, straining budgets.
Substandard System Performance
A mismanaged project may fail to meet specifications, leading to a system that underperforms.
