Consumer Electronics

From smartphones to laptops and wearables, vision is the most critical sensing modality and our multifunctional, Metalenz innovation brings new dimensions and context to machine vision systems and enables new generation of slimmer, smarter devices.

New Optical Intelligence for Consumer Machine Vision

Metasurfaces are transforming image sensing and reshaping how optics are made and deployed at scale. Now, our recent innovations not only change the game for secure face authentication, they enable new on device optical intelligence for consumer devices.

Benefits of Metalenz Optical Sensing Solutions for Consumer Devices

PolarEyes Technology Platform

Nanopillar design is integrated directly onto image sensor, creating a ultra low z-height.

Complete control over polarized light information, unlocking new visual data for consumer machine vision at scale.

Metalenses are fabricated with a single semiconductor layer for high yield, cost effective mass production and are reflow compatible and extreme temperature stable.

No dot projector camera needed. A single silicon layer of nanopillars built directly on the image sensor combined with a single flood illuminator eliminates the need for an additional dot pattern projector in solutions for smartphones and beyond.

Polarization Sensing Applications for Consumer Electronics

Meta-optics allow control over all properties of light, including phase, intensity and polarization. Conventional and Diffractive optics do not capture polarization information. Metalenz PolarEyes technology enables full polarization sensing fit for any form factor. This opens up a whole new set of applications in the consumer electronics including:

01

Seamless, Secure Face Authentication

As AI agents become more autonomous and devices become more immersive, Polar ID is trusted identity that starts at the sensor layer. By today’s estimates, at least a billion people have smartphones that lack payment grade face authentication technology. Polar ID represents a new approach to face authentication—Built on our metasurface platform, it delivers seamless, ultra-secure performance in a dramatically smaller, simpler, and more scalable form factor.

02

Remote Diagnostics

Today, patients need to visit a doctor in person for most kinds of examinations, but in the future it will be possible to use polarized imaging to snap a picture of a lesion or growth and send it to a doctor for analysis. Polarization optics are already widely used in the benchtop lab format to examine changes in diseased tissue. With PolarEyes, metasurface technology, expensive imaging technologies can be shrunk down and placed in a smartphone, leading to reduced costs of diagnostic testing and lower mortality rates by detecting diseases earlier.
