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.
