Dispelix and Avegant have teamed up to create an advanced optical solution for augmented reality viewing. Avegant LED Light Engine Technology. Constantly developing new and better display technologies, Avegant makes the impossible possible. Avegant AG-30L 30° LED light engine. Avegant AG-30L 30° LED light engine.
Avegant , makers of Glyph personal media HMD, are turning their attention to the AR space with what they say is a newly developed light field display for augmented reality which can display multiple objects at different focal planes simultaneously. Avegant Light Field design mockup.
Avegant, the AR display company known for its Glyph head-mounted display , announced that the company has successfully closed a $12M Series AA financing, which will allow them to further develop their light field technologies and “high resolution, low latency, and high brightness” retinal displays.

But what you’re looking at is actually a real prototype of an HMD called the Glyph, developed by a company called Avegant. I got to try it myself back in 2013 when Avegant was developing the then yet-to-be-named Glyph, a personal video viewer which doubles as a pair of headphones and is available today for $400.

This can be said for Avegant CEO Edward Tang. Soon after that, Avegant was born. ” Panning back, the same native thinking that’s behind Avegant’s technology also stands behind Tang’s view of the AR market and the products that will be successful.
In fact, the last time that Dispelix talked to ARPost it was to announce a partnership with light engine manufacturer Avegant. The company considered making other components – light engines, for example – but deemed that it was more productive to expand partnerships with other specialized component manufacturers.
These are the kinds of weightless experiences Stephen Greenwood, director of creative development at Discovery Digital Networks, and Allan Evans, cofounder of headset maker Avegant , are creating with their custom VR headset designed for underwater use.
The Avegant Glyph is a $699 personal home theater that straps onto your face, and it's a great product for privacy and gaming. It's a product that fills a niche that exists between a VR headset and a standard screen. The firmware update released today makes the hardware even better.
Edward Tang is the co-founder and CEO of Avegant, a company building next-generation display technologies for augmented reality experiences. Prior to Avegant, Ed spent nearly 15 years working in microfabrication and MEMs technologies, including 5 years focused on applying MEMs to brain-control interfaces.

and Avegant is pursuing a foveated display for AR. Using some of these insights, engineers have utilized foveated rendering in VR devices as an approach to reduce the amount of computation needed to render an image for display. The same insights can be extended to the display hardware. The demo is quite impressive.
It doesn’t burn me, because it’s a computer image displayed through a new kind of headset prototype built by Avegant, a Silicon Valley-based startup. Avegant calls it “light field.” A new kind of screen could help computer glasses replace the smartphone In my hand, mere inches away from my face, I’m holding a tiny elephant.

But what you’re looking at is actually a real prototype of an HMD called the Glyph, developed by a company called Avegant. The wild-looking headset we see used in the show looks as if a prop designer had some fun designing a kitbashed goggle-shaped VR headset with exposed circuit boards and 3D printed parts.

But with Dispelix already producing a printed surface relief waveguide, and with Avegant more recently demonstrating a light-field display (using an even more vintage beam-splitter technique), Magic Leap may have lost much of its novelty. Holographic Waveguides.
The unique (and formerly Valve developed) retro-reflective-powered CastAR system gave us a glimpse at one of augmented reality’s possible futures; Avegant turned up with their bizarre yet technically impressive personal media player the Glyph ; PrioVR had their new entry-level motion tracking / VR input system to try.
Greenwood works in digital production for Discovery and Evans is the CTO and co-founder of Avegant Glyph. Stephen Greenwood and Allan Evans are the mad scientists who one day had the thought, “I think we could make a VR headset that works underwater,” and are now following through on that theory.
