EyeFire™ is a technology that allows camera feeds to be overlaid in AR space using a waveguide optic and micro projector. This device is a plug-and-play solution that can take in an HDMI signal and display green, red, or true color along with a preprogrammed brightness table onboard. This platform is intended for use where situational awareness is a priority and one needs to keep their hands free. This platform can be developed into a standalone project or integrated into an existing project. Various mounts can be created for situational use.

Based on CMC proprietary technology, we developed some of the highest performance optics for use in augmented reality. We currently build several displays that use our Imageguides™, optics and light engine designs for display of AR content specifically for outdoor, rugged uses. In addition, their field of view of >110° is unmatched by anything available on the market.

AR displays are only as good as the experience they create. They require a careful balance to provide the right amount of information. Too much or too little can impact the user’s situational awareness. CMC has a diverse group of Human Factors and Software Developers that enable us to design a “display philosophy” to provide one of the most overlooked parts of the AR experience.

What value is display technology if it is not reproducible? CMC has processes and technology that can enable us to manufacture our Imageguide™ display optics at large volumes.

Designing and fabricating custom optical systems is a mainstay of CMC capability. This includes a full range of diffractive and refractive micro-optics, diffraction gratings, DOE’s and HOE’s as well as optical components for energy laser systems, lens arrays, wafer scale integrated optics and solutions for unique and highly challenging applications.

Advances in mobile computational hardware and new algorithms to support traditional optics opens a whole new possibility in optical performance. We developed cutting edge systems for low-light, low-latency applications. By using multiple optical apertures and imagers, we can shrink optical designs significantly, while improving performance, at affordable prices.

Based on our patented inventions and continuing research, we are developing high-speed, compact optical modems that can withstand tens of thousands of Gs and provide high data rates. These rugged optical modems allow for use in designs and applications where slower non-RF communications systems, such as acoustics or magnetics, were previously necessary.
