We are an industrial deep-tech company with a relentless culture that sets us apart
Our proprietary technologies make us leaders in holography and TRUE AR™ pioneers.
Thanks to years of continuous R&D and our brilliant team, we were able to create products that are unrivaled in the automotive and deep‑tech industries.
The first-ever Holographic Augmented Reality Display
We are the first company to invent and master the technology for creating a True Augmented Reality experience for the automotive industry and beyond. The information displayed via WayRay’s Holographic AR Display is seamlessly integrated into the real world at variable depth; no eyewear or headgear needed. No existing head-up display can create such a vivid 3D image.
Leadership in holography — leadership in AR
To implement augmented reality in our displays, we use holographic optical elements (HOEs) capable of performing incredibly complex optical functions while remaining transparent, thin, and capable of conforming to curved surfaces such as windshields.
As the only company to master the application of holography to head-up displays, we are a leader in non-wearable augmented reality solutions for transportation and beyond.
The importance of deep foundational scientific research
“Do Deep Tech” is one of our primary company values — it’s at the core of how we approach our work, technology, and products. Thanks to our continuous R&D, we possess fundamental and defensible engineering innovations that set us apart.
While other companies focus on refining or delivering standardized tech, or are limited to business model innovation, we offer unique deep tech solutions. Our underlying intellectual property is well-protected and hard to reproduce, making it a strong competitive advantage or barrier to entry.
Automotive
Our holographic AR head-up displays for cars surpass any conventional HUD in its projection system volume, field of view, and distance to the virtual image. The display can be customized to meet the specific integration requirements of any car model. The AR user interface can be designed for both drivers and passengers, conventional vehicles and self-driving cars, consumers and businesses.
The AR user interface can be designed for both drivers and passengers, conventional vehicles and self-driving cars, consumers and businesses. The display shows drivers and passengers useful information such as stoplight and pedestrian alerts, route mapping, and animated POIs.
Transportation and heavy machinery
In our mission to transform any transparent surface into a holographic AR display, we don’t stop at the automotive world. We have designed an advanced Add-on Holographic AR Display that makes it possible to implement holographic displays in land, air, water transportation, and heavy machinery.
The Add-on Holographic AR Display gives equipment operators an expansive view of their surroundings in HR, eliminating head-turning and distractions to reduce accidents. Combined with precise GPS positioning, the AR system can guide operators through large sites and pinpoint target locations.
Infrastructure
The potential for applications of our holographic technology extends far beyond navigation. Holographic AR-embedded smart glass can be seamlessly integrated into any environment, bringing the augmented reality experience to any building — commercial or residential. Your home, office, and any other building can be upgraded with smart windows that enhance your senses and help you explore the world around you.
Holographic AR smart glass would be personalized to individual users, syncing to their devices to show upcoming events in their calendars and other items of interest while displaying general information like traffic flow throughout the city, weather forecasts, and POIs like landmarks or retail stores.
