VoxelSensors, a 3D perception technology firm, has announced its partnership with OQmented, an AR/VR display and 3D sensing firm with a focus on MEMS-based solutions, according a press release.

VoxelSensors, the inventor of Switching Pixels, a proprietary 3D perception system leveraging laser beam scanning technology for a wide spectrum of augmented and mixed reality devices, aims to combine a new sensor architecture with the OQmented proprietary Lissajous scan pattern, which saves time and power in comparison with traditional raster scanning.

"The partnership with VoxelSensors is a great opportunity to unlock the potential of Lissajous laser beam scanning for 3D perception in lightweight Augmented Reality glasses," Ulrich Hofmann, co-CEO/CTO and co-founder of OQmented, said in the release. "We are proud to deliver the most efficient scanning solution worldwide which enables the amazing products of our partner, bringing us one step closer to our goal of allowing product developers to build powerful but also stylish AR glasses."

"At VoxelSensors, we wanted to revolutionize the perception industry," Johannes Peeters, founder and CEO of VoxelSensors, said in the release. "For too long, innovation in our space has focused on data processing, while there is so much efficiency to gain when working on the boundaries of photonics and physics. Combined with OQmented technology, we have the ability to transform the industry, enabling strong societal impact in multiple verticals, such as Augmented and Virtual Reality. Blending the physical and virtual worlds will create astonishing experiences for consumers and productivity gains in the enterprise world."
