"The company is building directly on its major success supplying its waveguide technology to glasses, and proving that geometric waveguides work at consumer scale with standard glass. At CES, Lumus showcased a ZOE prototype with a field of view of more than 70 degrees, an optimized Z-30 with 40% more brightness, and a Z-30 2.0 preview that's 40% thinner. David Goldman, VP of marketing, walked me through each demo with clear enthusiasm about the progress Lumus is making."
"Meta Ray-Ban Display uses Lumus 20-degree waveguide lenses delivering 5,000 nits brightness to compete with bright daylight, helping to validate consumer appetite and expectations for AR glasses. "The feedback on the display side has been incredible," he said. As evidenced by my time on the show floor, the success of the displays inside Meta's glasses is helping drive other companies to chase similar form factors and solutions."
Lumus demonstrated major waveguide advances that increase field of view and reduce lens thickness in a smart-glasses form factor. A ZOE prototype exceeded a 70-degree field of view, while an optimized Z-30 delivered roughly 40% more brightness and an upcoming Z-30 2.0 preview is about 40% thinner. The company leverages geometric waveguides that scale to consumer-grade glass. A compact 11-gram Z-30 optical engine achieved high efficiency and clear text readability. High-brightness results in Meta Ray-Ban implementations, delivering 5,000 nits, are helping validate consumer expectations and motivate competing designs.
