It is estimated that more than half of the world's population wear glasses2, and the ability to correct vision when using AR glasses is a key factor in their widespread adoption. Leveraging its proprietary optical simulation and production technologies, Cellid developed AR glasses lenses (waveguide method) that are as thin and light as ordinary glasses lenses while providing clear images. In response to customer requests and potential needs, Cellid has now engineered "Cellid Precision Fit Lenses" with a vision correction function that responds to customer requests and potential needs.

- Diopter correction function: Diopter adjustment allows you to see objects in the real world clearly for a more comfortable and immersive AR experience.
- Light field control function: Optimizes image clarity by dynamically adjusting the optical distance of AR images across usage scenarios
- Ease of mounting on AR glasses: Particularly when paired with Cellid's full-lamination AR glasses lenses, these lenses can be easily fitted to AR glasses at conventional optical shops.
Technical issues in development and future development
The main components of AR glasses-the lens (waveguide) and the diopter correction lens-have a structural contradiction, as the former is flat while the latter is curved. Additionally, several challenges must be addressed to make diopter correction lenses suitable for AR glasses practical, such as the increased edge thickness when conventional spherical lenses are designed to meet required strength standards.
Cellid has developed its proprietary SCL technology (Small base Curved Lens technology) to address these issues, leading to the commercialization of Cellid Precision Fit Lenses. The company continues to refine its design and manufacturing processes and plans to begin providing samples of an improved, thinner model in late April this year.
Comments from Satoshi Shiraga, CEO, Cellid
The new "Cellid Precision Fit Lenses" will significantly enhance the practicality of AR glasses, making immersive AR experiences more accessible for everyday use. We believe that by enabling a wide range of people to use AR glasses on a daily basis, their use will accelerate in diverse fields, regardless of industry, including manufacturing, education, retail, and entertainment. We will continue to contribute to the expansion of the AR market by leveraging our strengths in AR glasses design and manufacturing technologies centered on WaveGuide, as well as software technologies such as spatial recognition, while working with partners with whom we can grow together."
