After Meta Ray-Ban, Lumus debuts AR glasses with wider, thinner optics

Lumus, an Israeli optics company known for its geometric (reflective) waveguides, unveiled two new augmented reality (AR) waveguides at CES 2026, building on its success supplying optics for the Meta Ray-Ban Display AR glasses in 2025. The new ZOE waveguide offers a wide field of view exceeding 70 degrees, the first geometric waveguide to do so, enabling immersive AR experiences such as spatial entertainment and multi-app productivity while maintaining wearability. Importantly, ZOE achieves this wide field of view using standard optical glass and existing mass-production methods, avoiding exotic materials. In addition to ZOE, Lumus introduced an optimized Z-30 optical engine with a 30-degree field of view that delivers 40% higher brightness and improved image quality, remaining compact and lightweight at 11 grams with daylight-readable displays. Lumus also previewed the next-generation Z-30 2.0 waveguide, which is 40% thinner and 30
