AR Waveguides Startups

Lumus develops solutions for AR headsets that claims to give users information without interrupting their vision. Its offering LOE is a patented, ultra-thin lens technology that embeds mini-projector at temples of glass that take information from smartphones and projects into the side of LOE using coupling optics, which later appears as a virtual large screen to the user. Using its proprietary tech the company has developed its DK-Vision range of head-mounted displays namely, DK-51, and DK-52. Its DK-51 is a Snapdragon 820 powered HMD AR development kit that runs on Android Marshmallow 6.0. Partners are DAQRI, Quanta Computer and HTC among others.

Developer of waveguide displays for augmented reality devices and glasses. These transparent waveguides optically combine the real and virtual worlds. The company's designs redefine the form, function, and feel of augmented reality devices. Waveguides are designed for stable, scalable mass production using proven materials and methods.

AR based browser stickers. Claims to use image recognition engine and deep learning enabling real-time search. Additionally, allows the user to add information to the existing results and the same can be viewed by others in AR. As of March 2018, the application is compatible with iOS devices only but plans to launch it for Andriod devices as well.

Developer of AR-based smart glasses. It is a technology company that develops optical solutions for augmented reality headsets and glasses. Its offerings include an AR optic lens that claims to be capable of showing a sharp virtual object image on short distances using small reflectors. It provides a field of view of over multi-degrees, which can be extended by arranging more pin mirrors, and a full-color expression without chromatic aberration. Claims that the technology enables simultaneous display and interaction with a virtual object away from the eyes, without feeling dizzy.
