Integrating Application-Specific Functional Films into AR Prescription Lenses

Presented at AWE USA 2021. META’s ARfusion™ combines precision cast lens fabrication tools and functional metasurfaces, to provide AR wearable developers with a platform for seamlessly integrating smart technologies into thin lightweight prescription glasses. Embedded smart technologies can include waveguides, microdisplays, holographic filters, polarizing, liquid crystal/electrochromic foils, antifogging and eyeglow suppression films, antennas, and eye trackers. The ARfusion™ platform enables scalable and versatile fabrication processes for manufacturing AR glasses of any size and shape in large volumes. A dramatic reduction in the number of process steps also results in a major cost advantage over traditional lens molding. Next generation technologies to power the metaverse.
