Medical AR applications

Enabling clinical precision with bright, distortion-free visual intelligence under the most demanding medical environments.

With Lumus optical waveguides, medical AR achieves surgical-grade clarity and reliability. High-brightness, wire-free systems provide precise, real-time visual overlays—even under intense operating room lighting - enhancing accuracy, safety, and freedom of movement.

From problem to solution

In surgery, AR must remain perfectly visible, precise, and unobtrusive under extreme lighting and strict safety conditions.

The Solution

Challenge #1

Visual Washout

Operating rooms use intense surgical lighting ranging from 40,000 to 160,000 lux, which overwhelms standard AR displays and diffractive waveguides. This causes severe washout, forcing surgeons to choose between critical digital overlays and a clear view of the procedure.

Lumus reflective waveguides deliver over 8,000 nits per Watt - up to 10× more efficient than diffractive systems - ensuring high-contrast, daylight-readable visuals even under intense surgical lights. This efficiency enables fully self-contained, wire-free devices with true-to-life color accuracy, improving precision, safety, and freedom of movement in the operating room.

Challenge #2

Wires & Mobility

To achieve sufficient brightness and performance, traditional AR systems rely on external tethering. These cables restrict movement, complicate sterilization, and introduce safety risks such as disconnection or tripping in high-stakes surgical environments.
