Lumus brought a massively wider FOV to smartglasses at CES 2026

Lumus is making significant advancements in smartglass technology, building on its previous success with Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. At CES 2026, Lumus showcased new waveguides that promise to dramatically improve optical quality for future high-end smartglasses. Their optimized Z-30 waveguides offer a wider 30-degree field of view, are lighter and thinner, and are more power-efficient. The Z-30s deliver bright and sharp visuals with rich colors, overcoming limitations of current battery sizes. Lumus also demonstrated waveguides with an impressive 70-degree field of view, which provided a nearly complete central lens display. While minor distortion was noted, Lumus expects this to be corrected in final products. These new waveguides produce exceptionally sharp and bright optics, pushing the boundaries of smartglass displays. Lumus' reflective waveguides are more efficient than refractive ones and allow for optical bonding, enabling integration with transition lenses. Their designs also simplify manufacturing, leading to thinner components and higher yields. With production ramping up, Lumus' waveguides are set to become highly sought-after by smartglasses manufacturers.
