My organisation
AllFocal Optics is at the forefront of nanophotonic innovation, specializing in the development of AllFocal Optical stacks—a breakthrough technology designed to accelerate the widespread adoption of XR devices. By addressing well-documented issues related to Vergence-Accommodation Conflict (VAC)—such as nausea, headaches, dizziness, and visual discomfort—our solution enhances user comfort for extended XR experiences. By the use of our Optical lightguides, the images are projected directly onto the retina and thereby ensuring that the images are always in focus and this fundamentally eliminates the VAC related side effects during longer period of use. Our Optical technology is designed to be always in focus and the benefits of this is that the users with visual impairments such as myopia, presbyopia or astigmatism can use the AR / VR Devices without any prescription inserts. Engineered for seamless mass production, our optical technology is adaptable for integration with any screen type and across various XR applications, including Entertainment, Healthcare, Medical, Education, Research, Training & Simulation, Life Sciences, and Defense.
About me
AFO is a 2022 spin-out from the University of Cambridge, built on over a decade of research in advanced nanophotonic optical technologies. The company develops patented optical chips for XR systems, AR HUDs, and next-generation optical devices. AFO’s technology removes the common visual side effects associated with vergence–accommodation conflict (VAC) and delivers focus-free operation, eliminating the need for prescription inserts. These breakthroughs enable more comfortable, accessible, and scalable XR solutions, supporting broad adoption across consumer and industrial markets.
