RayNeo Announces Collaboration with Qualcomm, Applied Materials on AI-enabled AR Glasses
January 12, 2024 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
RayNeo, an industry leader in consumer-grade augmented reality (AR) innovation, today announced it is collaborating with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Applied Materials, Inc. to develop and bring to market a next generation of market-leading AR glasses. This collaboration brings together the expertise of industry leading technology providers to redefine the future of AR glasses.
RayNeo's AR glasses are set to break through the limits of today's AR products by focusing on delivering unparalleled image quality and AI features in an ergonomic form factor. Utilizing Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon® AR1 Gen 1 Platform and Applied Materials' lightweight full-color waveguides, combined with RayNeo's expertise in creating a comprehensive hardware and software ecosystem for consumer-grade AR products, the collaboration is designed to bring about leading-edge interactive AR experiences.
"The Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 is a purpose-built platform featuring amazing capabilities such as photo and video capture, support for binocular displays for hands-free notifications and directions, and on-device AI," says Said Bakadir, Senior Director, Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "This platform unlocks a new wave of AI glasses that is the perfect blend of technology in a sleek, stylish form factor."
"Applied is excited to collaborate with RayNeo and Qualcomm Technologies to help RayNeo deliver an unparalleled blend of image quality and minimalist form factor that cantransform how users perceive and interact with the digital world," said Dr. Paul Meissner, Vice President and GM of Applied Materials' Photonics Platforms Business in the Office of the CTO.
One of the key highlights of this collaboration is the focus on providing users with superior visual performance through AR experiences. Applied Materials' cutting-edge waveguide technology utilizes the company's leadership in materials engineering to provide the highest quality AR experiences. This takes AR glasses further towards the form of thin, lightweight, everyday eyewear, ushering in a significant leap in product design.
"AR glasses will be an exciting new AI platform for consumers, and this new generation of chipsets and optical waveguides are crucial for enabling the best AR experiences," said Howie Li, Founder and CEO of RayNeo. "Collaborating with Qualcomm Technologies and Applied Materials enables us to develop AI-powered AR glasses that deliver astonishingly realistic AR experiences to consumers worldwide."

Rethinking Reinforcement Materials for Advanced Packaging
05/14/2026 | Ivana Ivanovic, Flexiramics B.V.Materials that once quietly supported the industry are now becoming limiting factors. The electronics industry is experiencing unprecedented pressure as RF systems push into mmWave frequencies, high-speed digital architectures advance into their next performance generation, and power densities climb across automotive, telecom, aerospace, and computing. Reinforcement materials, long treated as a background detail in laminate design, are suddenly at the centre of performance, reliability, and supply‑chain discussions.
Rethinking Stackup, Materials, and Tolerances in Modern Designs
05/14/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationThe simple rectangular rigid PCB is becoming increasingly infrequent. This reality necessitates designing with concepts well outside traditional rigid PCB methodologies. For example, the designer of wearable electronics may need to implement conductive fibers integrated into the textile material. Heads-up displays, like those in VR/AR headsets and glasses, require transparent circuitry etched into the display glass. The process of designing without a rule book usually starts with something other than the traditional board design process.
