Optica Online Industry Meeting: XR

27 October 2026 10:00 - 11:30
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)

Join our Online Industry Meeting on XR: The Future of Immersive Technologies, bringing together industry leaders and technology innovators to explore how photonics is enabling the next generation of extended reality.

The meeting will begin with a system-level perspective, examining the vision for ambient computing, the development of commercial smart glasses, and advances in light-field displays that promise more natural and comfortable visual experiences. We will then explore the enabling photonic technologies, including metasurfaces and flat optics, integrated RGB light engines, MicroLED displays, and the challenges of achieving high optical performance, efficiency, and manufacturability in compact wearable devices.

Looking beyond smart glasses, the meeting will also explore the emerging potential of smart contact lenses. Join us to discover the latest developments, understand the remaining technical and manufacturing challenges, and identify opportunities for collaboration across the XR ecosystem.
