DigiLens' AR Waveguide Now In Production At Rockwell Collins

Will Be Integrated Into HGS-3500 Head Up Display

DigiLens Inc., the Silicon Valley-based startup working on augmented Reality (AR) displays through innovative waveguide optics, has announced that Rockwell Collins is now in production of the DigiLens waveguide which integrates into the Rockwell Collins HGS 3500 Head-up Guidance System. Embraer, a leading manufacturer of commercial, business and defense and security aircraft and systems, is the first customer to install and certify the DigiLens waveguide-based head-up display (HUD) into its aircraft. Rockwell Collins expects continued adoption of waveguide technology into the commercial aviation industry.

The HGS-3500 displays critical flight data on a compact and highly transparent waveguide directly in the pilot’s line of sight. This allows the pilot to fly eyes-forward in all phases of flight – which is particularly valuable during takeoff and approach. Pilots can quickly stabilize the aircraft on its flight path and recognize when it’s reacting abnormally or is close to the edge of its performance envelope.

"We are extremely pleased that our long-time customer and licensee Rockwell Collins is now in production at their manufacturing site," said DigiLens CEO, Chris Pickett. "DigiLens technology is now in operation with pilots around the world. This success demonstrates our ability to license and transfer our technology, as well as showcase the overall maturity of the DigiLens displays."

DigiLens’ augmented reality (AR) display technologies are manufacturable and can be integrated into HUDs for light to mid-sized aircraft. In addition to the waveguide for HGS-3500, DigiLens’ augmented reality (AR) display technologies are delivering data through glass for automotive users with AutoHUD, motorbike and bicycle smart helmet users with MonoHUD and professional smart glass users with EyeHUD.
