About VividQ

VividQ develops computer-generated holographic (CGH) display technology that allows digital images to be presented at varying focal distances, enabling seamless interaction with both virtual and physical objects. This technology eliminates vergence-accommodation conflict, reducing user discomfort and nausea while enhancing immersive experiences in augmented and virtual reality applications.

Problem

Current augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) displays often cause vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC), leading to user discomfort, eye strain, and nausea, especially when interacting with near-field virtual objects. Existing stereoscopic displays present images at a fixed distance, failing to mimic how the human eye naturally focuses on objects at varying depths.

Solution

VividQ develops computer-generated holography (CGH) technology that enables true 3D displays in AR/VR devices by projecting digital images at multiple focal distances. This approach eliminates VAC by allowing users to focus naturally on both virtual and real-world objects simultaneously, creating a comfortable and immersive experience. VividQ's technology stack includes software for real-time hologram generation, optical designs for compact engines and pupil expansion, and display driver solutions compatible with various spatial light modulators (SLMs) and light sources. The company's solutions facilitate natural hand and gesture interactions without the need for handheld controllers, paving the way for long-form narrative possibilities in XR.

Target Audience

VividQ's primary customers are manufacturers of AR/VR headsets, head-up displays, and other holographic display products seeking to integrate true 3D capabilities into their devices.
