Ground-breaking, 7grams 1.15mm
Light as a feather, wafer thin
Solves an industry-wide problem
Answering the need for new form factor designs
Katana’s thin, light design unlocks the potential for true mass market commercialisation as it enables a new range of form factor designs for smart glasses and AR headsets. As 5G and connected devices become mainstream, we expect to see an exponential rise in investment in the AR wearables market, especially in the consumer electronics sector.
