"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 showcased waveguide breakthroughs at CES 2026, including a ZOE prototype with a field of view exceeding 70 degrees. The company demonstrated an optimized Z-30 optical engine with 40% more brightness and an upcoming Z-30 2.0 preview that is 40% thinner to enable slimmer frames. Lumus is building on success supplying waveguide technology to consumer glasses and proving geometric waveguides work at consumer scale with standard glass. The Z-30 engine is an 11-gram optical module rated for high efficiency (8,000 nits per watt), delivering sharp, readable text across a 30-degree FOV with minimal distortion.
