Description
Swave Photonics builds HXR, a holographic display technology positioned as the foundation of the next computing era: spatial computing, following personal and mobile computing. HXR blends virtual and natural worlds through real holographic AR display, with applications spanning Holo AR (full holographic AR glasses in a small form factor), Holo HUD (distraction-free navigation displays), and Holo Wall (glasses-free 3D video walls). The technology simplifies existing AR systems by eliminating waveguides, varifocal lenses, and battery packs, offering a 100x more compact pixel and prescription lens compatibility. Being CMOS semiconductor based, HXR leverages Moore's Law for scalability and low cost, while its DynamicDepth capability enables true holography and natural 3D visualization for applications like navigation and visual search. The company has raised significant Series A funding, including a €27M round and a €6M follow-on investment from investors such as IAG Capital Partners and Samsung Ventures, and recently appointed a CFO and Head of Corporate Development.Grant Funding
