Cutting-edge wireless AR glasses enabled by proprietary optical technology and the latest waveguide innovations
TOKYO, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cellid Inc., a developer of displays and spatial recognition engines for next-generation AR glasses, today announced two new reference designs (verification models) for augmented reality (AR) glasses: a green monochrome and a full-color model.
Of these two models, the monochrome green model features the latest plastic waveguide (display lens for AR glasses), which Cellid has successfully mass-produced for the first time globally, while the full-color model features a glass waveguide. Both models are wireless, offer excellent design, and are lightweight glasses-style AR devices, making them suitable for a wide range of scenarios, from promoting Digital Transformation (DX) in companies to everyday use.
High brightness, High visibility, Stable performance and Application-specific design
The two newly announced models were created by combining the latest technology developed through Cellid’s AR glasses initiatives with the extensive product development expertise of each partner company. This enables both models to meet the needs of domestic and international customers as AR glasses applications continue to diversify. These models combine a stylish design that revolutionizes the image of conventional AR glasses with high practicality for a wide range of applications.
All models feature binocular AR displays with a 30° field of view (FOV), providing high visibility and a natural viewing experience both indoors and outdoors. Information is displayed clearly thanks to Micro-LED projectors with a maximum brightness of 3000 nits. Both models also use the latest plastic and glass waveguides independently developed by Cellid, delivering a combination of light weight and excellent optical performance.
■ Main Features of the Two Models
Green Monochrome Model ― Simple Entry Model

Comment from Satoshi Shiraga, CEO, Cellid
The two reference designs announced as next-generation AR glasses were developed based on Cellid’s accumulated technology and user feedback. They combine the latest optical technology with a stylish yet practical design, envisioned for use across a wide range of scenarios from daily life to professional applications. AR technology is now entering the stage of societal implementation. Particularly for waveguide technology, which is essential to AR glasses, the balance between optical performance, design, durability, mass-producibility, and cost efficiency is paramount. To meet these demands, Cellid, as one of the few companies capable of in-house manufacturing of waveguides using both glass and plastic materials, is advancing product development tailored to specific applications. Simultaneously, we are focusing on research and development of software and hardware technologies to optimize power efficiency, display technologies, and collaborative development of application cases across diverse industries. Cellid, guided by the philosophy of “realizing information tools that are closer to people and dramatically more convenient,” will continue collaborating with domestic and international partner companies to advance the deployment across diverse fields. We aim to expand the possibilities of AR glasses and realize richer augmented reality experiences.
