The guiding light of AR

We are lead inventors of 2D pupil expansion. Multiple international patents recognise the development we have made in diffractive waveguide nanostructures.

Ready for large scale roll out

With mass-market adoption on the horizon, it is essential for consumer electronics companies to select strategic suppliers with a proven track-record of delivering. Our experience since 2014 gives us the edge.

Our Waveguide models

We offer one, two or three plate waveguide solutions ranging between 15° – 60° fields of view, and can flex the waveguide designs according our customers requirements.

How do our waveguides work?

AR wearables, such as smart glasses, enable users to see digital images overlaid on top of the real world. There are two key elements that allow these images to be seen – a light source such as a minute projector and a means of transferring the image from the projector into the user’s eyes.
