Consumer AR glasses may become a reality with Swave's breakthrough holographic chip, promising lightweight, low-power, affordable options.
Swave's HXR holographic display engine offers compactness, lightness, high resolution, and brightness, setting it apart from current smart glasses technology.
Utilizing laser-powered holographic technology, Swave's full-color HXR could deliver up to 64 gigapixels of resolution with minimal light loss.
Swave's holographic display technology not only fits AR glasses but can be scaled for automotive screens and large volumetric displays for enterprise use.
The holographic display encodes interference patterns using lasers, enabling the reconstruction of 3D images with nanometer-scale precision.
Swave's HXR technology in AR glasses aims to enhance affordability, resolution, and battery life while solving comfort issues associated with near-eye displays.
With a promising bill of materials cost, weight under 50 grams, wide field of view, and high resolution, Swave's AR glasses could offer superior performance.
Swave's real-time holographic processing unit (HPU) enables quick conversion of 2D or 3D images into interference patterns to generate holographic images.
Swave anticipates making their HXR and HPU technology available to consumers as early as 2026, potentially transforming the AR glasses market.
For those not willing to wait, there are current alternatives such as Xreal One and Viture One smart glasses offering immersive experiences and practical functionalities.
