Phones Show Chat Episode 895 Eyeopening Eyeo! (13/05/2026)

Phones Show Chat 895 Show Notes Wednesday 13th May - Eyeopening Eyeo! Steve Litchfield [https://stevelitchfield.com/] with a Special Edition with Juha Alakarhu [https://eyeo-imaging.com/eyeo-announces-the-appointment-of-juha-alakarhu-as-technical-advisor/] and Jeroen Hoet [https://be.linkedin.com/in/jeroenhoet] Eyeo Imaging Eyeo is redefining imaging with the world’s most advanced nanophotonic colour-splitting technology. For the first time, image sensors can capture all incoming light, overcoming the current 30% limit imposed by decades-old colour filter technology. Instead of filtering photons, Eyeo’s breakthrough technology guides them directly to individual pixels, unlocking full light sensitivity and native colour fidelity, even in the most challenging conditions. Compatible with any CMOS sensor platform, Eyeo’s single-photon guiding capability also breaks resolution barriers, enabling sub-0.5-micron pixels for ultra-compact, high-performance imaging in XR, industrial, security, and mobile applications where image quality is critical. “Eyeo’s technology is unlike anything I have seen in imaging,” said Juha Alakarhu. “The ability to capture all the light with colour is one of the biggest unsolved problems in image sensors. Eyeo has the potential to redefine picture quality standards.” “Juha has consistently shaped the future of imaging, from the smartphones that transformed how we capture memories to the systems now used in critical applications for public safety,” said Jeroen Hoet, CEO and co-founder of Eyeo. “His guidance will be invaluable as we build a new generation of imaging technology.” So, try to keep up (at the back) and join Steve as he interviews the pair in this 40-minute extra PSC Show.
