Smartphones have radically transformed our daily lives, and in a few years, augmented reality (AR) and smart glasses could bring about a similar technological revolution—thanks in part to DELO adhesives.
Just as smartphones have continuously evolved, new application areas for augmented reality are constantly emerging. To give you an idea of its potential uses, here are four promising AR applications:
Navigation
Walking in the wrong direction after exiting the subway or missing a hidden address could become things of the past with AR navigation. Augmented reality can integrate routes, destinations, and waypoints innovatively and directly into our field of view.
Shopping
Whether in a furniture store or online shopping, AR offers the chance to virtually experience products. You can try out how a new sofa fits in your home, for example. AR also holds great potential for online shopping, enabling virtual try-ons for glasses, makeup, or clothing.
Augmented-Reality-Brillen (AR) projizieren digitale Informationen in Echtzeit über die reale Umgebung. Kontextsensitive Inhalte werden nahtlos in das Sichtfeld integriert und verbessern so Navigation und Entscheidungsfindung im Alltag.
In 2016, the mobile game Pokémon GO sparked the first major hype around augmented reality.
While Pokémon GO was experienced on mobile phones, glasses might be the augmented reality device of the future - specifically, "smart glasses." These glasses are designed to be sleek and lightweight, virtually indistinguishable from regular glasses. However, they require special lenses capable of displaying additional virtual content. This capability is realized through a technology known as waveguides.
Yole, a well-known market research firm, views waveguides as a breakthrough technology for AR glasses. Waveguides are responsible for directing light beams within a lens. For instance, a tiny projector built into an AR eyeglass frame could generate a navigation arrow. The waveguides direct the navigation arrow so that it appears in the user's field of view.
In the field of optics and photonics, we make a significant contribution to the improvement of waveguides by developing products with precisely tuned optical properties that significantly impact functionality. The adhesive often does far more than just bond two components together and is thus a core component in the technical implementation of a waveguide. Our commitment is to garner attention to the AR industry, and we delivered; this topic was prominently featured at our "Smart Glasses Conference" in November 2022.
Although current challenges like battery size—which causes the glasses to appear bulky—persist, the future is promising. Should the AR market gain momentum in the coming years, DELO is well-positioned to play a key role in this technological development.
