About Swave HXR Technology

Swave’s Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) technology is the Holy Grail of the metaverse, delivering lifelike, high-resolution 3D images indistinguishable from reality. Swave’s HXR exertion projects lifelike holographic images that destruct today’s AR/VR/XR challenges of focal extent and oculus tracking, truthful viewers tin easy absorption connected adjacent and faraway objects. Most importantly, the HXR chips are manufactured utilizing modular CMOS technology, which enables cost-effective scaling.

Swave exertion tin besides powerfulness holographic headsets that present immersive 3D AR/VR/XR experiences with stunning precocious resolution, cleanable extent of absorption and 180-degree to 360-degree viewing angles, each without the headaches experienced by users of accepted headsets. Applications powered by HXR gigapixel exertion volition beryllium susceptible of passing the ocular Turing trial successful which virtual world is practically indistinguishable from real-world images that humans spot with their ain eyes.

Swave is expanding its absorption and engineering teams and hiring successful cardinal areas. Visit swave.io to larn much astir vocation opportunities.
