The Little Brother

Written by: Michael Shneider, CTO, Nistec

Several months ago, Shahar, a hardware engineer in a hi-tech company that is developing virtual reality headsets approached me: “These are special glasses that can integrate into game consoles in hundreds of millions of homes worldwide” he said with excitement, “this is
innovative technology that will enable a totally different viewing and gaming experience than that available at present”. Later in the conversation he stated that at present they are in the midst of developing a central electronic circuit for a project after successful programming has been executed by means of an evaluation board. 

On the surface it seems promising however he then qualified himself and said that their problem is that as this is a circuit with a wide range of applications on the one hand however on a very small area on the other, there is no room on the board to place all the electronic components.
