Lumus and SCHOTT Strengthen Manufacturing Partnership to Meet the Growing Global Market Demand for Optical AR Glasses
Lumus, the pioneering developer of reflective waveguide technology for augmented reality (AR) eyewear, announced today that it is expanding its five-year long partnership with SCHOTT, international technology group and manufacturer of high-tech materials and optics including SCHOTT RealView® high-index wafers and reflective waveguides, to meet the growing worldwide demand for optical AR glasses.
In the first phase of the five-year partnership, SCHOTT established a sampling line in Malaysia, where it successfully developed the processing and metrology capabilities to provide customers with prototypes and better understand their manufacturing requirements. In the second phase, SCHOTT focused on developing the equipment and processing platform to meet the stringent requirements of industrial manufacturing for these customers. The engine of this processing platform is Lumus’s new Z-lens reflective waveguide architecture that’s designed to meet the imminent customer demand for AR glasses.
Compal partners with Nvidia to construct enterprise metaverse
Compal Electronics has partnered with Nvidia to build a metaverse specifically for the enterprise segment, according to JS Liang, vice president of Compal’s R&D center. The metaverse will be built using Compal’s XR Cube solution, which supports a variety of VR/AR devices and is based on the OpenVR standard, and will be practiced via SteamVR.
Compal’s XR Cube support all VR/AR head-mounted displays (HMD) that are structured based on the Open XR standard including HTC’s VR HMDs, Meta’s (Facebook’s) Oculus Quest, Microsoft’s Hololense, as well as AR/VR devices in-house developed by Compal and can connect to a backend edge cloud or publish cloud platform.
Compal has also cooperated with many companies such as WaveOptics, Lumus and Infinity AR to work on the development of AR/VR devices. Compal’s MR devices have also obtained orders from Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) to assist the company in repairing equipment. Compal is now cooperating with Taiwan-based Ganzin Technology to develop a new-generation VR device that features eye-tracking technologies, Liang added.
