One major step towards vision-friendly AR glasses

At CREAL, the new year marks a significant milestone! We are thrilled to introduce Clarity, our next-generation light field display, designed to be integrated into AR glasses. This transformative display empowers OEMs with a solution to build AR glasses that provide a truly natural, comfortable and healthy visual experience –free from visual conflicts and eye strain. From now on, prolonged and comfortable use of AR glasses is possible, paving the way for augmented reality to reach its full potential.

While the hype around AR smart glasses is now growing strong, we believe that for them to become everyday products, used all day, and truly augment our world (not only overlaying 2D monochrome green text), the display will have to offer fully natural and correct vision of the real and digital content, without any side effects. Those glasses being the next evolutionary stage of traditional eyewear, their primary purpose —vision correction and enhancement— must indeed remain uncompromised. This is why our light field display incorporates vision care requirements and eyewear features at its core:

  • Real image depth for natural visualization
  • Prescription fit for corrected vision
  • Transparent lens for social comfort

With this milestone, CREAL is proud to unlock a key barrier to widespread AR. Each component of AR glasses presents unique challenges, and the display, in particular, requires a true revolution to project lifelike digital content. Ultimately, through technology licensing and custom components integration, Clarity will enable all-in-one AR glasses to deliver a natural, immersive, and contextual visual experience.

Our new reference design is ready for testing and evaluation, and you can now get a demo of Clarity starting at SPIE AR | VR | MR next week.
