Creal has launched its innovative Clarity light field display technology for manufacturers of AR glasses. This advanced display system accurately reproduces the complete 3D depth of virtual reality scenes, allowing eyes to focus effortlessly on virtual objects, whether they are close or far away.
Traditional AR Glasses Limitations
Most AR glasses currently utilize micro displays to project light into the eyes at a fixed focal point. This means that when users concentrate on a virtual image, real-life objects at varying distances become blurry. Conversely, focusing on real-world objects results in the virtual image appearing out of focus.
The Advantage of Creal Clarity
Creal Clarity mimics the light rays that come from virtual objects as if they were part of a real environment, accounting for the parallax differences that occur naturally when shifting focus between nearby and distant items. Clarity generates more than 1,000 depth plane images across the user’s field of view and employs pinhole-like optics to send the complete light field into the eyes.
Users can naturally focus on 3D objects in AR scenes without experiencing eye strain, nausea, or other health concerns linked to traditional AR glasses that display images at a fixed distance. Creal Clarity delivers virtual environments with high spatial resolution that meets or exceeds that of current AR glasses, boasting over a 1,000:1 contrast ratio.
Correcting Vision Issues
This projection technology not only ensures exceptional lens clarity but also has the capability to correct for nearsightedness and farsightedness by rendering light fields as perceived through simulated prescription glasses. This innovation eliminates the need for prescription inserts in AR lenses.

A Major Leap for Vision-Friendly AR Glasses
22.01.2025
At CREAL, we are excited to announce a major advancement this new year! We proudly present Clarity, our state-of-the-art light field display made for integration into AR glasses. This groundbreaking display allows OEMs to create AR glasses that offer a truly natural, comfortable, and healthy viewing experience—free from visual conflicts and eye strain. This means extended and comfortable usage of AR glasses is now achievable, paving the way for augmented reality to realize its full potential.
As the buzz around AR smart glasses continues to build, we firmly believe that for these devices to become everyday essentials, usable all day long, they must provide an authentic and accurate vision of both real and digital content, without adverse effects. These glasses represent the next step in the evolution of traditional eyewear, where their main goal—vision correction and enhancement—must remain intact. This is why our light field display is designed with vision care needs and eyewear features at its very foundation:
– Real image depth for natural visualization
– Prescription fit for corrected vision
– Transparent lens for social comfort
With this achievement, CREAL is excited to remove a significant hurdle to widespread AR adoption. Each element of AR glasses brings unique challenges, and the display especially requires a true transformation to present lifelike digital visuals. Ultimately, through technology licensing and custom component integration, Clarity will allow all-in-one AR glasses to provide a natural, immersive, and contextual visual experience.
