About this report
Vitrealab is an Austrian deep-tech spin-off from the University of Vienna’s quantum optics group, developing a novel “Quantum Light Chip” for AR/VR display engines. The startup’s core innovation is a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that combines on-chip waveguides and micro-optics with RGB laser diodes to produce an intensely collimated, polarized light output .
This approach aims to overcome critical challenges in next-generation augmented-reality glasses – namely achieving daylight-visible brightness, long battery life, compact form factor and high image quality.
