DigiLens grabs $22 million from Sony, Foxconn as it looks to print next-gen AR displays

“We think diffractive optics holds the key to AR, but writing millions of tiny optic structures is best done photographically, using nano self-assembly, not expensive precision etching like HoloLens. We need to break the manufacturing price barrier,” said Dr. G. Chen, CTO at Foxconn. “With DigiLens waveguide diffractive optics, they seem to have overcome most nagging technical problems and we see a very bright future for them.”

Very cool.  Looks like a giant step (1, 2) forward in this field 🙂
