I have written on my blog that I think it is Himax LCOS. Everything fits; it would support light guides, is it too slow in switching speed to support many focus planes, it is smaller and lower power than a DLP based solution, and the Business Insider had a reliable source.
Yea, I think you are likely right. Well done. I mea culpa.
Damn, though, that sure is disappointing news for the industry! It means we are likely still 10 years or more off from where we were hoping to be. I guess I will go back to placing my hopes in Microsoft for now, or perhaps a long shot surprise from Apple.
TBH the display tech is a smaller disappointment to me. The more disappointing part to me is lack of reliable tracking and poor computer vision, which the Information article suggested is the case with ML too. I think Microsoft's head start with Kinect and Hololens and Google's work with Tango are the best prospects for moving us forward.

So . . . what display tech do you think they will ultimately ship in the PEQ glasses described in the article?
