Solutions for 3D mapping and AR/VR

AR and VR are seeing rapid growth in areas such as gaming, retail, education and entertainment. The headsets use a combination of different technologies, including laser projection, 3D mapping and IR camera modules.

All of these technologies need to be miniaturized for headset weight and comfort, while retaining the highest possible performance for crisp, solid images and minimized color separation. Plus, components need to be manufactured at a low price point and at high volumes suitable for a mass market consumer product.

Our sister company in Jena, Germany designs optical systems for AR/VR, while Kasalis is unmatched globally in its ability to provide quality and scalability in optical alignment for AR/VR manufacturing—making us the ideal partner for AR/VR solutions.

Industry Challenges

Headset weight and bulk, including heavy optics

Mis-alignment of miniaturized optical elements produces color separation of the projected image and reduces its opacity

Protecting IP during pre-release development

Time-to-market is too slow to win market leadership

Very high precision needed for micro-optics alignment to avoid color separation

Sophisticated design by Jabil Optics in Jena, Germany, of lightweight optics and packaging for both projection modules and camera modules
