Augmented / Virtual Reality
The AR/VR sector is a rapidly growing market. Technological innovations—from advanced materials to novel manufacturing processes—are driving new possibilities in terms of optical performance and miniaturization. We play an active role in shaping this development across various industries.
AR/VR systems have diverse applications, each with its own unique technical challenges. At DIOPTIC, we support you from development to quality assurance, helping you bring your AR/VR products to life with precision and performance.
Typical Applications
AR and VR technologies are used across a wide range of applications. While virtual reality (VR) creates a fully computer-generated 3D environment, augmented reality (AR) enhances the real-world view with digital elements. Common examples include head-mounted displays or smart glasses that project information directly into the user’s field of vision. Both AR and VR systems require highly precise optical inspection and alignment processes to ensure top-tier quality and functionality. Additionally, we offer solutions for complex optical components with integrated electronics, such as eye-tracking systems.
Tailored Solutions
DIOPTIC has built outstanding expertise in AR and VR technologies over many years and has successfully implemented numerous projects in collaboration with partners from industry and research. One example is an industrial-grade smart glasses solution developed for Siemens, designed for use in production environments. Augmented reality is used to overlay virtual markers onto real objects, providing users with live instructions and context-relevant information in their field of view. Together with partners from the Fraunhofer FEP and Uvex Safety Group, DIOPTIC developed an optical module that enables high-contrast, high-quality image projection across a wide field of view.
Another key focus is the characterization and calibration of AR/VR optics. With specially developed targets, we analyze distortion and MTF, and compute bright field correction, including for optics used in AR/VR headsets. For series production, we deliver automated and connected measurement systems to ensure distortion-free imaging and the highest possible image quality.
