“For years, the dream of truly immersive, all-day augmented reality glasses has run up against the hard limits of optical materials — you simply couldn't get a wide field of view, high image quality, and a lightweight, wearable form factor all at once,”
Barry Silverstein, Display systems and optics industry expert at the University of Rochester and former Chief Technology Officer and Senior Director of Optics and Display Products at Meta Reality Labs
“Silicon carbide changes that equation.”
