The Augmented Reality Eyewear (ARE) market is experiencing significant growth in Europe. Considering the strong research and development (R&D) capabilities of the European eyewear industry, it can emerge as a global market leader. In this context, the EU-funded POPULAR project will develop the first generic platform for ARE for a wide range of users and purposes. The eyewear will be designed to offer visual, wearable, vestibular, and social comfort, making it suitable for all-day use. POPULAR will focus on developing components like an ultra-low power micro-display, an innovative holographic lens mirror, and application software. It will also conduct end-user tests in outdoor sports, healthcare, and logistics use-case scenarios to ensure the effectiveness and usability of the developed prototypes.
