Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is more than a step in production. For us, it’s a mindset woven throughout our design, testing, and prototyping process.
Our QA Ethos
QA at Every Step
From materials and assembly to performance, our cross-collaborative teams work in lockstep to ensure every layer of our waveguides and displays perform exactly as intended, even at the microscopic level.
With over a decade of experience testing, analyzing, and verifying, we understand how light reacts to the smallest surface variations and alignment shifts. A single imperfection can affect brightness, color balance, or clarity across the entire display.
Research and Development
Our research and development team is deeply embedded in each step of the process, ensuring every design is achievable.
Design, Build, Test
Our fully integrated approach to QA results in higher-quality waveguides and displays that offer improved wearability and comfort.
Cross-Team Collaboration
Our designers, scientists, and engineers work in unison to verify every component before a design moves to the next step.
Data-Driven From the Start
Our prototyping process begins long before design, with extensive anthropometric and metrology data.
Having precise measurements in place prior to development means a solid design foundation and a reduced need for major corrections or redesign cycles that slow development and increase costs.
Maintaining Quality as We Build
Our deep metrology expertise allows us to calculate, measure, and detect even the smallest adjustments.
Our custom-built proprietary machines not only create components, they also quality test them, radically boosting workflow speed and accuracy.
Keeping People at the Center
Our “human-centric” company ethos includes how we approach QA. Every test and inspection is to ensure our designs and prototypes remain centered on the user and their experience. Our cross-functional teams work together to achieve this.
Usability
By conducting tests like motion tracking and depth perception analysis, we can better understand how a prototype will perform when worn by users.
Comfort and Wearability
We evaluate and quantify a design’s physical and visual comfort to verify that users can wear a final design for extended periods.
Prototype Integrity
We put our prototypes through rigorous tests, like drop tests and accelerated aging, to understand durability and operational reliability when worn as everyday eyewear.
