OQmented develops display and projection technology for augmented reality (AR) smart glasses. The company focuses on creating stylish and lightweight wearable AR devices with high performance and long battery life.

OQmented

OQmented is a company with offices in Germany and the United States that is developing fully integrated, ultra-compact MEMS-based laser beam scanning projection display systems for Augmented Reality devices and automotive applications as well as best-in-class 3D sensing solutions for mobile and stationary applications. Our light engines combine sophisticated MEMS mirrors with proprietary electronics and software. We achieve the highest performance in terms of field of view, device size, durability, energy consumption, sensing, and resolution. Among our customers are technology, automotive and optics companies who choose OQmented to power their consumer AR, robotics and 3D camera applications.

Our LBS light engines were developed specifically for Augmented Reality glasses. However, just as Augmented Reality isn’t limited to glasses, our light engines aren’t either, having the potential for ultra low-cost production and scalability: We have advanced our software in such ways that it allows the use of laser beam scanning technology also for other, even entirely different applications by combining multiple light engines. OQmented light engines are pushing the boundaries of what is possible today: We have developed a technique to “stitch” together the projections of an unlimited number of light engines resulting in one seamless projection and enabling more perspectives for the viewer, more natural colors than in state-of-the-art displays and virtually limitless extension for Field of View, frame rate, brightness and resolution, depending on the application. 
This way, our light engines can power projections for AR glasses or head up displays and other automotive lighting, but also for large advertising panels. We are very excited to explore these new applications and challenge the limits of physics in all sorts of ways.

“Integrating their laser chips into our light engines completely on wafer level, probably saves costs of about one order of magnitude compared to conventional production processes.” We couldn’t be more excited about our partnership with integrated laser company Brilliance RGB. Their RGB laser chips are the perfect match for integration with our light engines on wafer level, enabling a path to a high volume high yield production. This opens up amazing opportunities and, short-term, we are looking forward to delivering our first joint development kits later this year.

We couldn’t agree more: it needs collective efforts from component/system suppliers and device manufacturers as well as application-specific R&D to achieve mass market appeal for head mounted displays.
Thanks to Gartner, for listing us as one of the tech innovators in HMDs. Our MEMS-based laser beam scanning light engine is specifically designed to address the challenges of power efficiency, form factor and brightness for all-day wearable Augmented Reality glasses.

We proudly present our UltraLITE XR™ laser beam scanning-based light engine, designed for high-volume production and market entry date slated for end of 2025. OQmented will bring this light engine to market as complete plug and play solution with up to 19 lumen in brightness and a power consumption of less than 200 mW.

There are numerous advantages of combining MEMS-based laser beam scanning with a Lissajous trajectory for projection purposes, e.g., it is very energy efficient. However, improper operation of the trajectory causes perception artifacts that can be unpleasant for the viewer. We at OQmented have successfully developed a trajectory control system that overcomes these artifacts. Applying a number of particular alterations, we can precisely control the trajectory so we are able to determine how we want the image, or video, to build up and choose the one that is most comfortable for the viewer’s eye.
You can see the effect in the video below: the left projection shows the result of our trajectory control and is much more comfortable to watch.
