Luxexcel, the technology leader in 3D printed prescription lenses, and WaveOptics, the foremost designer and manufacturer of waveguides and light engines, have collaborated to create an innovative module integrating three of the vital elements required for developing consumer Augmented Reality smartglasses: a 3D printed prescription lens, a waveguide, and a projector.

The module enables technology companies to manufacture Augmented Reality prescription eyewear in a normal form factor similar to today’s conventional eyewear. The key components of the module can be customized, scaled, and manufactured in high-volume today to provide technology companies with an Augmented Reality prescription eyewear solution that best fits the requirements of the consumer market.
