“Diffractive vs. Holographic vs. Reflective Waveguides: What should the Industry target?”
31 January | 05:00 PM–05:50 PM | Moderated by Bernard Kress

This panel will welcome several industry players involved in waveguides for augmented reality applications, be they reflective or diffractive. During the panel discussion, we will exchange around the technology choices, the challenges, the trade-offs and the possible way that the industry should follow towards making augmented reality for the consumer a reality.

“tooz provides the missing link between various advanced AR technologies and an individual vision correction”
31 January | 01:40 PM–02:00 PM | By Dr. Kai Ströder

Optical AR engines today are designed for people who do not need vision correction. However, the vast majority of users is myopic, hyperopic or presbyopic. Their need for Rx integration shifts AR devices into a medical-grade business environment, protected in many regions by existing stakeholders. For all-day use, consumers expect affordable AR solutions and a secure end-to-end vision correction process with a convenient buying experience. Regardless of the augmentation technology, tooz is enabling medical-grade Rx solutions for various curved and planar combiners.
