Swave Photonics develops true holographic display for spatial computing

Swave Photonics, a self-described “true holographic display” company, today announced its development of the world’s first 3D holographic display technology for compact extended reality (XR) form factors.

Leuven, Belgium-based Swave’s Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) will enable AI-powered spatial computing with a reality-first user experience, where digital elements complement, learn from, and interact with the physical world. The first application for the HXR display technology will be low-cost, lightweight, AR smartglasses with all-day battery life.
