Dispelix and Avegant have teamed up to create an advanced optical solution for augmented reality viewing. The two companies combine their technologies to bring us the next level of AR experiences through state-of-the-art augmented reality and mixed reality wearables. Dispelix Waveguide Technology.
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.

The glasses are designed “primarily for commercial use” and cost some $500 more than the initial model, but technology has come a long way and we look forward to seeing what this edition is capable of.

This can be said for Avegant CEO Edward Tang. Soon after that, Avegant was born. Though the Glyph was a hit, was the underlying technology the real long-term value driver? or should we focus on what we think is super valuable and push the state of the display technology forward.’ But then came a crossroads.
“AR glasses will likely first emerge into people’s lives as a display technology and then gradually grow into a holistic experience,” Nreal co-founder, Peng Jin, said in a release shared with ARPost. See Also: Dispelix and Avegant Partner to Enable Next-Gen AR Glasses.
When we have these developments that we do together we say ‘Now that we have this technology we can do this with it to make it more efficient.’ In fact, the last time that Dispelix talked to ARPost it was to announce a partnership with light engine manufacturer Avegant. And that’s a very technical discussion.”.
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.
Facebook frenzy: new 360 app + live streaming in VR + voice search, our Avegant future looks like Star Trek, ZeniMax and Oculus: the plot thickens, VR companies grew 40% in 2016, investment & funding wrapup, and more… FACEBOOK FRENZY: NEW 360 APP + LIVE STREAMING + VOICE SEARCH. ZENIMAX AND OCULUS: THE PLOT THICKENS.
Part 1 : The two biggest barriers holding wearable displays back are visual quality and device comfort, which hinge on the display and optics technology. Flipping the assumptions on their head implies a new type of display technology is needed, which is no small undertaking. and Avegant is pursuing a foveated display for AR.
Lytro , a leading light-field company, is positioning its light-field capture and playback technology as the ideal format for immersive content. SEE ALSO Avegant Claims Newly Announced Display Tech is "a new method to create light fields".
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.

Virtual reality has figured prominently at the event in recent years of course, quickly rising to become one of the shows hottest technologies. The following year at CES 2014, Oculus had to share the immersive technology limelight with a slew of new startups who had appeared in the wake of Oculus’ success. The OSVR HDK Headset.
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.” With light field technology we’re finally beyond the bar for what’s good enough for a mass market experience,” Tang said.
Waveguides are not a new technology, per se. Waveguide displays are made using the same technology that allows a unidirectional wave of light to be guided down a fiber optic cable. If a paying client requested a light-field, it can safely be assumed they would build it to order, with their existing waveguide layering technology.
Weekly Funding & People Roundup: TheWaveVR Raises $4M, Pluto VR raises $13.9M, Avegant Raises $13.7, The whole point is to help the music industry — usually a laggard in exploiting digital technology — to create new revenue streams. The company has also raised $4 million in a new round of funding led by Upfront Ventures.
