Apple supplier Quanta just entered a huge partnership with Lumus on augmented reality glasses
Quanta Computer — a major supplier of components for the AppleWatch — announced a major deal on Monday that would significantly expand the availability of augmented reality glasses by 2019.
The licensing deal is with Lumus, an optics company that makes the core display components for augmented reality glasses. Lumus provides a projector-like technology that overlays images onto the "screen" of a spectacle lens.
Lumus, founded in Israel in 2000, has a long patent history in the augmented reality arena. In particular, the company focuses on embedding multiple prisms into a single piece of glass, to increase the size and breadth of images while keeping the lenses discreet and "non-dorky," CEO Ari Grobman said.
