“Igniting the future of outdoor augmented reality”
VitreaLab receives investment from PhotonVentures targeting a leap in display technology and new AR and VR experiences.
The ‘Quantum Light Chip’ of Vienna-based start-up VitreaLab technology addresses the issue of brightness and energy efficiency in AR displays, enabling more vivid and longer-lasting AR experiences. Their innovation allows for the creation of lightweight and compact AR glasses, overcoming the bulkiness of traditional AR headsets.
This technology also promises to enhance the clarity and resolution of AR visuals, making them more realistic and immersive for everyday use across diverse sectors including medical, automotive, and mobile devices. The launch of a prototype is forthcoming, enabled not only by the financial support of PhotonVentures but also by the sustained investment from deep-tech funds Xista Science Ventures and Apex Ventures.
“PhotonVentures’ expansive network and unparalleled expertise in the integrated photonics sector are positioned to significantly accelerate our technological advancements,” states Chiara Greganti, co-founder of VitreaLab.
Pieter Klinkerts, partner at PhotonVentures, stresses the strong belief in VitreaLab’s technology and is convinced that their potential of their technology will redefine the industry.
