HXR Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) for true Augmented Reality (AR) and lifelike immersive displays

Summary

Lifelike 3D images (holograms) have the potential to revolutionize key sectors, such as manufacturing, healthcare, consumer electronics, and creative industries. However, it has not yet been possible to create usable holographic displays for commercial applications due to the low visual quality of digital holograms and the very limited field of view of holographic projections.

Swave is developing HXR, the world’s first spatial light modulator specifically designed for digital holography. Our proprietary technology will be commercialized as a novel chipset with supporting systems and algorithms, capable of generating and displaying high-fidelity dynamic holographic imagery. HXR will enable display manufacturers to create immersive, ultra-high resolution holographic displays, disrupting visualization markets forecast to grow to >€100bn by 2030. Swave is a spin-off from IMEC, leveraging 12+ years of research and a team with 100+ years of experience in bringing semiconductor/imaging products to market.
