Cellid Inc. has announced the release of its “Cellid Precision Fit Lenses,” designed to address the growing demand for diopter correction in augmented reality (AR) glasses. These new lenses integrate diopter correction with advanced light field control, enhancing visual clarity and comfort for users. The lenses offer customizable vision correction, optimize image clarity, and are easy to mount on AR glasses, making them ideal for a variety of industries such as manufacturing, education, and retail.
Cellid Announces the Release of “Cellid Precision Fit Lenses” for Next Generation AR Glasses with Diopter Correction
TOKYO, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cellid Inc., a leading developer of AR display technology and spatial recognition engines, today announced the launch of “Cellid Precision Fit Lenses,” a new lens that meets the need for diopter correction functionality as the AR glasses market grows. These innovative lenses seamlessly integrate diopter correction with advanced light field control1, enhancing visual clarity and overall usability. By significantly improving image quality and comfort, Cellid Precision Fit Lenses mark a major step forward in making AR glasses more accessible and practical for everyday use.
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.
Key features of Cellid Precision Fit Lenses
– 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.
The Light Field Control function allows the user to fine-tune the viewing distance of the AR image by selecting the appropriate lens to be worn. For example, in a worksite environment, if users need to perform close-range work while referring to AR image manuals or work videos, they can wear Cellid Precision Fit Lenses optimized for their specific working distance, ensuring that AR visuals align seamlessly with their real-world tasks. This customization enhances clarity, precision, and overall comfort, providing a comfortable AR-assisted work experience.
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.”
