Focusing on XR, Driving Continuous Innovation and Breakthroughs! Seeyond Unveils Multiple New XR Products at the CIOE Shenzhen

From September 10 to 12, the three-day China International Optoelectronics Expo (CIOE) was held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. With the market demand for AR and VR headsets continuing to rise, AR and VR once again took center stage at this year’s event. At the expo, Seeyond, a provider of core XR optical modules, equipment, and solutions, showcased several new XR products, including waveguide testing equipment, binocular testing equipment for AR headsets, and a range of near-eye display (NED) lenses, offering optical solutions to customers worldwide.

New Products on Display

Optical Waveguide Testing Equipment  Ven-WGDet

As the core optical component of AR glasses, the performance of light waveguides directly impacts image quality and user experience. At this year’s Optics Expo, WhaleLeap’s light waveguide testing equipment, the Ven-WGDet, emerged as the star product at its booth, drawing a steady stream of professional industry visitors. This device incorporates the company’s proprietary key optical modules—the Var-XRMT-KA672 inspection module and the Var-XRILS-PA572 projection module. With exceptional lens performance, MTF approaching the diffraction limit, and high contrast, it can accurately measure core metrics such as luminance, chromaticity and its uniformity, contrast, and MTF.

In addition to its core optical advantages, the waveguide inspection system integrates specialized waveguide inspection algorithms and supports “one-click testing,” enabling rapid automated inspection. It is highly tailored to the customized needs of production lines, helping AR and waveguide manufacturers enhance product optical performance and accelerate mass production. It serves as a critical inspection tool for waveguide R&D and manufacturing.

AR Glasses Binocular Detection Device Ven-EEG70D

Another piece of equipment on display is the Ven-EEG70D binocular testing system for AR glasses, a high-precision binocular testing device specifically developed for AR glasses. It also incorporates a proprietary ultra-high PPD NED refractive-deflection testing lens, featuring an innovative refractive-deflection optical path design that effectively prevents spatial interference from the AR glasses’ temples. With excellent optical performance—including an MTF close to the diffraction limit and high contrast—it ensures the clarity of AR displays. It utilizes a proprietary high-precision binocular calibration module to achieve precise alignment and measurement. Integrated with high-precision specialized algorithms, it provides one-stop support for precise optical performance testing, precision motion control, and automatic system calibration.

Near-Eye Display Lenses: Empowering XR

At the Seeyond booth, there are also several near-eye display lenses on display. In addition to VR inspection lenses, AR inspection lenses, and rapid angle-measuring lenses, two autofocus modules are being showcased this time: the Mer-AR70D-FFA AR high-definition full-frame autofocus lens, which achieves 150 PPD, features high resolution, and has a field of view of 70°, enabling the inspection of high-definition, wide-field-of-view AR modules and products; The other AR high-definition full-frame autofocus module, the Var-T-CA2V-001, offers 360 PPD and a field of view of 33°. Both autofocus modules can be paired with AR inspection equipment to perform multiple tests on AR modules and products, including luminance, contrast, and MTF. Autofocus ensures rapid focusing with an accuracy of 0.05D, reducing human error and providing fast and reliable measurement results for AR product optical performance testing.

Continuous Innovation Drives Breakthroughs

With continuous innovation and breakthroughs in AI and silicon-based microdisplay technology, consumers have increasingly high expectations for the comfort and immersion of XR devices, and optical systems are becoming the core driver of this enhanced experience. With forward-looking insights, WhaleLeap BluePath stays attuned to industry trends. Leveraging its solid technical foundation and diversified product portfolio, the company drives continuous breakthroughs in optical solutions, injecting strong momentum into the XR ecosystem and ushering in a new chapter in human-computer interaction.
