Vuzix Signs Partnership with Fraunhofer to Enhance Display Applications

A provider of video eyewear products in media and entertainment, defense, and consumer markets, Vuzix has collaborated with Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) for developing MEMS devices for virtual wearable and augmented display solutions.

Vuzix’ personal display devices and products provide solutions for tactical wearable displays, virtual and augmented reality, mobility, and thermal sighting systems. Fraunhofer IPMS is a globally acknowledged R&D center for MEMS.

This technology development collaboration offers a key element that combines both optics and display into a monolithic display engine to produce video glasses that are styled like sunglass.

Fraunhofer IPMS and Vuzix have designed HMDs and video eyewear displays for application in console gaming, defense markets, and mobile smart phone. Fraunhofer's unique MEMS devices are the chief element for developing a single electro-optic device for displays of Vuzix' advanced HD video eyewear. This effort of creating a monolithic display engine will meet its user's hope for video eyewear beyond the existing technologies to enhance Vuzix’ and its OEM product series.

Fraunhofer’s Deputy Director, Harald Schenk stated that the company’s MEMS technology, when combined with Vuzix’ electro-optic module, has the ability to advance near eye display applications. The company is pleased to offer IPMS' technology to enhance display solutions, he added.
