Hon Hai Research Institute (HHRI), a subsidiary of Hon Hai Technology Group, the world’s largest technology manufacturing and service provider, joins hands with National Yang -Ming Chiao Tung University ( NYCU ) to break through space Computing Extreme stood out at the " 2024 Taiwan Innovation Technology Expo" and won the "Future Technology Award" for its innovative technology of "application of all-gallium arsenide super interface holography in structured light and stereoscopic vision". This innovative technology benefits from the excellent cooperation between Guo Haozhong, director of the Semiconductor Institute of Hon Hai Research Institute and chair professor of National Yang-Ming Jiaotong University, and the research team of Dr. Hong Yuheng of the Institute of Semiconductor, and the research team of Huang Yaowei, assistant professor of National Yang-Ming Jiaotong University. Hai's leading position in the field of cutting-edge technology has opened up new possibilities for spatial computing and depth sensing technology.

This breakthrough research result has been published in the top international journals " Nano Letters  " and " IEEE Photonics Journal  ". It has also been selected as the cover story of " Nano Letters  " and won the American Chemistry Award. The American Chemical Society (ACS ) selected it as the focus issue in February and conducted highlight news interviews, showing its important position in the academic world.

This innovative technology offers the following advantages:

1. Miniaturization: The size of the sample shown is only about 3 hairs wide, which is 233 times smaller than traditional technology .
2. High efficiency: It can project up to 45,700 infrared structured light spots, which is 1.43 times more than the existing technology.
3. Wide field of view: It has a wide field of view of 158 °, which is twice that of the existing technology .
4. Energy saving: Power consumption can be reduced by 5-10 times, achieving the goals of miniaturization, lightweighting and energy saving.

This achievement of Hon Hai Research Institute's Semiconductor Institute demonstrates Taiwan's innovative integration strength in the semiconductor and optoelectronics fields! Ultra-thin metasurfaces and metalens produced using photolithography technology , with their excellent light refraction capabilities, can not only significantly reduce the thickness and weight of optical systems, but also significantly improve scanning accuracy, which will subvert the optical industry .

This technological breakthrough brings huge potential to the field of depth sensing, in addition to facial recognition unlocking for mobile devices, wearable devices, augmented reality ( AR ) devices, and eye tracking (eye tracking ) and other applications. Looking to the future, with the advent of the spatial computing era, this technology can promote the next generation of human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence ( AI ) and machine learning, strengthen its adaptability and response speed, and become a key force.
