Transforming Transparent Surfaces into Mixed Reality Portals
Distance Technologies has developed a breakthrough solution that converts transparent surfaces, such as windshields and windows, into immersive mixed reality experiences without the need for headsets or glasses. The technology uses a computer-generated 3D light field, allowing for infinite per-pixel depth and full-field immersion, enhancing clarity and reducing eye strain.
Industry Applications and Future Expansion
The startup’s innovative technology is being explored by next-generation automotive manufacturers, defense contractors, and aviation companies. It enhances situational awareness by overlaying dynamic data, such as location-specific information, into real-world environments. The finnish company aims to continue scaling its solution for global adoption and bring mixed reality experiences to everyday applications.
