Belgium-based Swave Photonics announced the launch of the Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) chipset, which it claims is the world's first 3D holographic display for compact XR devices.
The device will enable AI-powered spatial computing experiences, with the first device targeted being AR glasses. It can achieve true 3D holography up to 64 gigapixels while being scalable, backed by its non-volatile Phase Change Material (PCM) as a “pixel” on a standard CMOS semiconductor process.
Swave Photonics expects the device to reach customers in the second half of 2024 and is currently taking orders for HXR development kits for device manufacturers. Additionally, the company expects its tech to expand beyond AR glasses, including heads-up automotive displays and holographic display experiences without glasses.
Analyst QuickTake : The company differentiates by achieving holography through light refraction and interference. Swave Photonics raised EUR 3 million (~USD 3.3 million) in a seed funding round in June 2023 . The funds were earmarked to facilitate the development of its diffractive optics technology used in XR applications.
