Lumus and Schott aim to make lightweight AR glasses into mainstream products
If you look at the Lumus Z-30 Optical Engine for AR glasses, it looks pretty much like an ordinary pair of glasses. But it's AR.
With up to 10 times better luminance efficiency over competing waveguides and supply chain partners like Quanta Computer Inc. and Schott, Lumus wants to be the leading choice for OEMs making AR glasses, Goldman said. The company is the leading designer of geometric waveguide technology at the core of several existing AR products, including Thales’ Scorpion full-color head-mounted display, Augmedics xVision system for guiding surgeons, Lenovo’s ThinkReality A6 released in 2019 as well as MediThinQ’s ScopeEye and MetaScope. Schott is crafting the glass for AR glasses.“We supply the base substrate that can receive the grading, basically the high refractive index, allowing for a higher field of view,” Schmucker said.
