Lumus

Lumus is an Israeli company that develops waveguide-based optics technology for augmented reality (AR) displays. The company's core technology enables the projection of digital images onto lightweight, transparent lenses, allowing AR headsets and smart glasses to display information in the user's field of view without the bulk of conventional optics.

Lumus's primary product line is reflective waveguide optical engines — thin, glass-based light guides that direct imagery from a display source into the wearer's eye. The technology is sold primarily as an OEM component to hardware manufacturers building AR headsets, enterprise wearables, and smart glasses. Buyers are typically consumer electronics companies, defense contractors, and enterprise device makers rather than end users. Lumus licenses its waveguide technology and manufactures the optical components.

The waveguide optics space for AR includes competitors such as Microsoft (which developed its own waveguide technology for the HoloLens line) and WaveOptics (acquired by Snap). Lumus competes by offering high-brightness, see-through image quality that it positions as suitable for outdoor use — a known limitation of many competing waveguide approaches. The company has received investment from Quanta Computer, a major Taiwanese electronics manufacturer, which also signals a channel into Asian hardware production ecosystems.

Lumus is headquartered in Israel, with R&D and manufacturing operations in the country. Detailed public information on headcount, specific city location, and recent office changes is limited.
