HD virtual display for smart glasses

A spin off from Finnish research centre VTT is commercialising a display that will allow information to be presented at high definition within the user’s field of vision. According to Dispelix, this will not only enable smartglasses to replace smartphones and tablets, but also allow users to see the world around them.

The technology is based on lightguide optics, which enables the manufacture of displays of any shape on glass or plastic elements just 1mm thick. In addition, the technology is said have excellent transparency and to create an image equivalent to viewing a 60in TV from a distance of 3m.

“Compared to existing solutions, which are bulky or difficult to manufacture, the Dispelix solution has advantages such as the display’s thinness, lightness, aesthetic appearance and volume production compatibility,” says managing director Antti Sunnari, pictured.

Dispelix claims the first applications for its technology will be found in the exercise, work and motor sport sectors; for example, allowing athletes to see their performance data displayed directly on sport glasses.

“As electronics and optics evolve, displays will even be seamlessly integrated into ordinary glasses,” said Sunnari, who noted the product should be on the market by the end of 2016.
