How it Works
Fourier AR™ comprises an angular and wavelength-selective metasurface optical combiner that is invisibly embedded inside the ophthalmic lens, reflecting RGB light from the µLED projector directly to the user’s eye — while remaining completely transparent to the outside world.

Manufacturing
Designed for scalable, cost-effective production.
The metasurface optical combiner is fabricated using standard high-volume semiconductor manufacturing techniques, and the projector is built around an off-the-shelf µLED display panel using compact optical and mechanical integration.
Integration
Fourier AR™ aligns with standard ophthalmic lens workflows.The metasurface optical combiner is embedded into a lens blank and proceeds through standard surfacing, coating, and edging processes without modification.
This seamless integration enables OEMs and lens manufacturers to preserve frame style, support prescription power, and avoid bulky assemblies — setting Fourier AR™ apart from waveguide-based systems.
