Taipei, 2026/01/08 -- PetaRay, a pioneering developer of arbitrary-depth light field methods for augmented reality (AR), today announced a new collaboration with Quanta Computer Inc. (TWSE: 2382), a global leader in advanced technology manufacturing. The partnership introduces a commercial-ready AR head-mounted device (HMD) featuring true arbitrary focal depth, combining PetaRay’s patented LiFiD™ light field technology with Quanta’s integrated engineering and high-volume production capabilities to support the expanding next-generation AR market.
Arbitrary-Depth Light Field: AR That Matches Human Vision
At the core of the device is PetaRay’s patented LiFiD™ light field technology, which reconstructs physical light rays to generate the visual experience of arbitrary focal depth. This capability allows virtual content to align naturally with real objects at any viewing distance, from close-range tasks to far-field environments. By matching the focal depth of digital and physical elements, the HMD delivers accurate spatial alignment, continuous focus, and realistic depth perception. This precise light reproduction also removes the vergence–accommodation conflict (VAC)—a visual mismatch between where the eyes converge and where they focus—and further enhances visual comfort during extended use. Together, these advantages enable:
- True perceivable depth
- Continuous, natural focus
- Comfortable long-duration use
- Realistic spatial clarity.
Manufacturing Excellence: From Prototype to Global Scale
Quanta provides a one-stop path from key component design to volume based full system production. Its optical engine team delivers advanced design, proprietary calibration, and manufacturable optical architecture, while the HMD team focuses on systematic design and integration. Backed by scalable, precision assembly lines, Quanta ensures reliable yields and a seamless transition from prototype to commercial AR head-mounted devices.
Evaluation Samples Available Now
Evaluation samples are now ready for partners seeking to build next-generation AR experiences. The HMD solution is designed for all industries, including medical, industrial, education, field operations, training, and creative applications. Demonstrations will also be available at CES 2026 and future global exhibitions.
