720581TruLife Optics' proposal to develop a prototype curved holographic wave-guided optic for use on glasses or other curved surfaces for sale to augmented reality systems developersClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKTruLife Optics has developed and patented a FLAT holographic optic and waveguide. We have made prototypes of this FLAT optic and these have been sold as developer kits to many of the entrants in the emerging Augmented Reality industry. This component is the last piece in the jigsaw to offer Augmented Reality Systems developers a clear, full colour, high definition transparent optic close to the eye. We have received interest in this optic from around 40 players in the emerging AR industry and the feedback has been very positive, with many of these companies (including global consumer companies) looking to use our optic. The main feedback has been however that to be usable for their applications (mainly Augmented Reality smart glasses and in some cases helmets), the optic must be CURVED not flat and on a CURVED waveguide. The key aim of this application is to provide the funding to enable the modelling, design, development and manufacture of a CURVED hologram optic prototype on a CURVED waveguide substrate so that we are able to sell to he majority of AR systems firms. Our aim is to establish TruLife Optics as a world leader in the manufacture of AR systems optics and give the UK a position in this emerging industry, currently dominated by overseas companies.
