Lumus Vision

Lumus Vision

Lumus has a product vision which, if they can bring it to market, could open the door to true augmented reality. As of February 2010 the product is still slated for launch in late 2010.

 

Lumus eyeglasses employ a Light-guide Optical Element (LOE) - a patented, disruptive technology which enables a breakthrough, ultra-thin lens which overcomes the inherent thickness of conventional optics and displays large, high resolution and full color images in front of the eye. Image content from any portable digital device is projected into the side of the LOE. As the image travels to the center of the lens, it is reflected into the eye via embedded see-through elements which create the effect of viewing a large screen, like watching a 60" screen from a distance of 10 ft or a 600” screen from a distance of 100 ft.

Seeing through – seeing beyond
Lumus’ unique see-through displays are the optimal solution for situational awareness when viewing content. While they display a huge screen which appears even larger over distance, the see through capabilities still offer the transparency necessary to know what is going on around you, eliminating the effects of fatigue or dizziness. Similarly, the translucent screen enables you to perform other tasks while maintaining constant hands-free connectivity to critical information.
