Swave Photonics Sees Holograms Getting Real

Posted by in categories: computing, holograms, virtual reality

Swave Photonics has designed holographic chips on a proprietary diffractive optics technology to “bring the metaverse to life.”


Can virtual reality become indistinguishable from actual reality? Swave Photonics, a spinoff of Imec and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, has designed holographic chips on a proprietary diffractive optics technology to “bring the metaverse to life.” The Leuven, Belgium–based startup has raised €7 million in seed funding to accelerate the development of its multi-patented Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) technology.

“Our vision is to empower people to visualize the impossible, collaborate, and accomplish more,” Théodore Marescaux, CEO and founder of Swave Photonics, told EE Times Europe. “With our HXR technology, we want to make that extended reality practically indistinguishable from the real world.”

Massively targeted evaluation of therapeutic CRISPR off-targets in cells

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Thorough evaluation of CRISPR RNA-guided nucleases off-targets in cells is required for advancing gene therapies. Here the authors report SURRO-seq for the simultaneous investigation of thousands of off-target sites for therapeutic RNA-guided nucleases in cells.
