SCHOTT RealView®

The immersive world of augmented reality is brought to life with the range of SCHOTT RealView® glass wafers. Whether in smart glasses or head-mounted devices, the high refractive index waveguides provide excellent field of view (FoV) for a superior visual experience in consumer and professional environments.

Exceptionally sharp vision

The peerless build quality of SCHOTT RealView® glass ensures that augmented reality devices deliver the maximum viewing experience. Their perfectly machined surface, with low total thickness variation, generates sharp images and perfect contrast. The wafers’ high refractive index improves field of view and they are strong yet light, reducing device weight.
