Emerging technologies like holography and lithography have greatly reshaped the AR/VR display systems. In the 1990s, AR/VR experienced the first boom, which quickly subsided due to the lack of eligible hardware and digital content. Over the past decade, the concept of immersive displays was revisited and received a new round of excitement.

By overcoming the limitations of fixed focal planes, waveguide technology brings true 3D holography to AR/VR glasses, revolutionising the way users engage with digital content. Users can now perceive virtual objects at different depths, interact with them naturally, and experience a seamless blend of the real and digital worlds.
