Join us for this engaging webinar, “Reinventing AR User Experience: A Conversation with Amalgamated Vision” hosted by AREA (Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance), an EDM Association Community, on January 28th, 2026.
Adam Davis, Founder and CEO of Amalgamated Vision (AV), will present AV’s groundbreaking AR display technology. AV’s approach uses monocular ultra-near-to-eye positioning and a novel optical design that delivers digital content naturally without waveguides or other structural elements that obscure normal vision.
AV’s patented microprojector enables all-day wearable contextual AI at the edge, providing users with critical information exactly when and where it’s needed. The U.S. Air Force and NASA are funding early-stage development to explore applications such as aircraft maintenance and remote medical guidance—environments where dense data and continuous situational awareness are essential. The compact monocular display meets these demands while fitting discreetly behind standard eyewear lenses, paving the way for practical, everyday AR headsets.
A central concept is binocular rivalry, the brain’s ability to blend a monocular digital overlay with the real world. AV’s hardware leverages this physiological phenomenon to reduce cognitive load and minimize the social friction of conventional waveguide smart glasses.
This session is essential for business and technology leaders exploring:
- How ultra-near-to-eye display differs from waveguide and birdbath systems.
- The visual processes that enhance comfort and focus for extended use.
- Why non-occluding optics matter for frontline operations.
- The advantages of lightweight, low-power engines for AI-at-the-edge applications.
- What USAF and NASA funding reveals about future AR deployment paths.
