VividQ, a maker of holographic display technology for augmented reality gaming, has teamed up with waveguide designer Dispelix to make new 3D holographic imagery technology.

The companies said the tech was near impossible just two years ago. They noted they have designed and
manufactured a “waveguide combiner” that can accurately display simultaneous variable-depth 3D content within a user’s environment. For the first time, users can enjoy immersive AR gaming experiences where digital content can be placed in their physical world where they can interact with it naturally and comfortably. The tech could be used for wearable devices, meaning AR headsets or smartglasses.
