Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today announced that its Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) Spatial Light Modulator has been selected as an Honoree for the CES® 2026 Innovation Awards in the XR & Spatial Computing category. HXR is the world’s first chipset and Spatial Light Modulator that uses phase change materials (PCM) technology to create the world’s smallest pixels – small enough to steer light and enable true holography.

Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today announced an additional €6M ($6.97M) in funding as part of a follow-on investment to the company’s Series A round.

Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today announced the appointment of Derek Jensen as CFO and Head of Corporate Development.

Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today announced the close of its €27M ($28.27M) Series A funding round. This significant investment in Swave will catalyze the advancement of its Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) platform, enabling a reality-first user experience for AI-powered augmented reality (AR) smartglasses and heads-up displays.

Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today announced that its Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) platform has been selected as an Honoree for the CES® 2025 Innovation Awards in the XR Technologies and Accessories category. HXR is the world’s first chipset designed to create holographic images for augmented reality (AR) form factors that will enable AI-powered spatial computing.

Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today announced the hiring of Joel Kollin as Director of Optical Architecture. Kollin will be responsible for exploring and implementing cutting-edge optical systems for Swave's unique technology to enable an unmatched user experience in spatial computing and immersive display.

Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today demonstrated a prototype of the first true color 3D holographic display technology using phase change materials. Using chip-based Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) technology, the prototype uses the world’s smallest pixel to steer light and sculpt high-resolution images for full spatial color. Swave delivers full spatial color by arranging color filters in a specific pattern on a single panel eliminating the need for three panels or fast switching speeds.

Swave Photonics, the true holographic display company, today announced its development of the world’s first 3D holographic display technology for compact extended reality (XR) form factors like smart glasses. Swave’s Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) establishes a new kind of advanced display technology, producing the world’s smallest pixel with a pixel pitch of less than 300nm — small enough to steer light and sculpt high-resolution images. The chip-based technology will enable AI-powered spatial computing with a reality-first user experience, where digital elements complement, learn from, and interact with the physical world.
