Optical design & product development.

We’re an independent team of optical and opto-mechanical designers with a passion for finding clever, practical solutions to tough problems. Our focus areas include mobile cameras, 3D sensing, VR/AR display, projection, and life science.

Experts in plastic optics.

Injection molded polymer optics have come a long way in the past decade. Incorporation of aspheric surfaces in plastics significantly increases the available degrees of freedom – enabling better performance, fewer elements, and unique form factors. We are leading independent experts in aspheric plastic optical design.

Our focus.

We have a broad background in optical system design for capture, display, and sensing applications. We’ve worked on everything from single-use cameras to 3D laser cinema projectors. Our current focus areas include…

Cameras

Mobile and traditional cameras, time-of-flight (ToF) systems, afocal adapters, and a variety of other novel imaging systems.

Projection Systems

Toy projectors, projection TVs, large venue projection systems, and state-of-the-art flight simulators.

Virtual & Augmented Reality

VR/AR systems, traditional and electronic viewfinders, stanhopes, and other near-eye display systems.

Life Science Instrumentation

Digital microscopy, blood analyzers, endoscopes, fundus cameras, intraoral cameras, and 3d digital otoscopes.

Light Labs

Pushing the limits of what’s possible with the camera in your pocket.

Allomind

Big screen: meet little package. The lightest wireless VR headset in its class.

Lensbaby

Art lenses prized by photographers looking to create images with a unique feel.
