Image forming elements

The optical engine – waveguides and projectors – is the key to enabling successful AR smartglasses and headsets. It is the biggest driver of the industrial design and power consumption for highly immersive devices.

Ideal for product evaluation and development

Optical engines principally consider of a projector coupled to a diffractive waveguide combiner. This is based on our core technology which we variously refer to as the waveguide or waveguide stack.

Optical engines are available with differing field of views and in monocular or binocular configurations.

We also offer our optical engines with driver electronics, so that you can test and evaluate our standard offering. Demo content via an APK is also available. If electronics are required, we provide: interface puck with USB-C connection, access to demo content via APKs, associated software, tools and support
