OptoFidelity News

• The product under validation was OptoFidelity's WG-GAT, a Littrow Diffractometer for measuring AR waveguide grating manufacturing quality.
• WG-GAT’s measurement accuracy was validated based on measurements performed by VTT MIKES, one of the leading metrology institutes for accurate grating period measurements worldwide.
• Fully automated WG-GAT measures diffraction grating pitch and orientation and can find grating defects on picometer and arcsecond scale accuracy, making it the preferred choice for AR waveguide testing.

Tampere, Finland - June 27, 2023 - OptoFidelity, a leading provider of advanced AR/VR measurement solutions, is proud to announce the validated measurement accuracy of OptoFidelity's waveguide grating analysis test system, WG-GAT. This achievement was made possible by OptoFidelity's extensive, demand-driven product development and cooperation with VTT MIKES, the National Metrology Institute of Finland.  

AWE USA 2023, SAN JOSE, CA – June 1, 2023. OptoFidelity announced that it has signed an agreement with the manufacturer of AR glasses, Xreal to deliver its new OptoFidelity BUDDY Test System. OptoFidelity is thrilled to deliver the product that will help Xreal enhance its capabilities and insights in AR headset development and manufacturing.

OptoFidelity BUDDY is a comprehensive system for virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (VR, AR, MR) head-mounted display (HMD) performance testing and calibration for both R&D and manufacturing lines. 

“Xreal is excited to foster this new partnership with OptoFidelity. OptoFidelity's BUDDY Test System is providing Xreal with an incredible opportunity to develop and improve the performance of AR glasses. Together, both companies can build upon our respective expertise to usher in the next era of spatial technology and wearable AR devices,” said Xreal Co-founder Kejian Wu

“We at OptoFidelity are happy to announce this cooperation with Xreal. Besides HMD image quality and optics, accurate low-latency head tracking and SLAM are the most important contributors to the end-user experience and overall HMD performance. We are excited to support Xreal to improve AR products’ performance and development,” says Pekka Laiho, Chief Business Officer of OptoFidelity.
