This technology meeting will bring together experts, innovators, and enthusiasts in the field of photonics and extended reality (XR) technologies. Photonics plays an indispensable role in shaping the landscape of XR technologies, from enabling immersive experiences to making product lighter and more efficient. This event promises to be an informative and inspiring event that will shed light on the critical role of photonics in advancing XR technologies. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights, connect with industry leaders, and explore the future possibilities of XR on a technology side.

The event is structured into four engaging sessions, each focusing on a specific aspect of photonics in XR: optical design and simulation fundamentals, techniques, and tools for optimizing XR optics; the role of photonics in creating realistic and immersive visual experiences, while exploring the advancements in display technologies; examine and discuss the new challenges for the integration of photonics components into XR systems, including topics like miniaturization, power efficiency and performance optimization. We also will discuss the market adaptation and future trends, to give an overview of potential applications in industries such as healthcare, education, gaming, and more.

As a Technology Meeting, this event is intentionally designed to bring together executives, industry leaders, engineers, researchers, and technical experts, with a primary emphasis on fostering strategic partnerships, collaboration, and knowledge exchange in the realm of photonics and extended reality (XR) technologies. Unlike traditional commercial events, this forum prioritizes high-level discussions and collaborative opportunities.
