Lumus Presents Expanded Field of View in Smartglasses at CES 2026

Innovations from Lumus at CES 2026

Lumus, a company specialized in smartglass technology, stands out at CES 2026 by presenting its new components with an amplified field of view. The presentation includes advanced waveguides, which promise significant improvements in optical quality and energy efficiency of the devices. This development follows the brand's recognition after using one of its waveguides in the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.

Specifications of the New Components

The latest waveguides from Lumus offer a field of view (FOV) of 30 degrees, surpassing the 20 degrees of previous versions. These guides are 30% lighter and 40% thinner compared to earlier models. Moreover, they have exceptional energy efficiency, reaching over 8,000 nits per watt, which is crucial for the battery longevity of the smartglasses.

User Experience

During the demonstration, users noticed a significant improvement in visual experience. Despite a resolution of 720 x 720, the brightness and clarity were impressive. The expanded FOV resulted in a much more expansive visual perception, with vibrant colors, including white, which is often difficult to reproduce accurately.

Test Results with the 70-Degree Waveguide

Lumus also presented a waveguide with an impressive FOV of 70 degrees. The tests revealed extensive lens coverage, although some users noted distortions that can be corrected in the final versions. The company claims that this technology is among the most advanced in optical reproduction for smartglasses.

Additional Benefits of Lumus Waveguides

The geometric waveguides from Lumus provide advantages such as greater efficiency compared to refractive ones. They allow for the optical fusion of displays with the lenses of smartglasses, eliminating the need for accessories like clip-on sunglasses, a significant innovation in product design.

Future Perspectives in the Smartglass Market

With the increased production of the new waveguides, Lumus is preparing to meet the growing demand for smartglasses, driving the market towards a scenario where these devices could become the next big technological success. Collaboration with partners like Quanta and SCHOTT is expected to further expand opportunities in the sector.
