About

Vitrealab develops light engines and waveguide technology for augmented reality displays, focusing on creating lightweight, compact, and bright light engines suitable for outdoor use in AR glasses. The company develops display components with quality inspection systems and offers solutions to overcome the technical hurdles of AR light engines, including brightness, efficiency, and form factor challenges. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria, Vitrealab has raised approximately $11M in Series A funding from investors including APEX Ventures, Hermann Hauser Investment, xista, PhotonVentures, Constructor Capital, Gateway Ventures, and aws Gründungsfonds. The company's photonics-based approach addresses one of the key bottlenecks in AR glasses adoption by enabling displays that are bright enough for outdoor visibility while remaining compact enough for everyday wearable form factors.
