History

[edit]

OptoFidelity was founded in 2005 in Tampere, Finland, by a group of technology professionals with a background in optics, robotics, and software engineering. The company initially focused on custom test automation solutions for the mobile device industry. Over the years, it expanded its portfolio to include specialized test systems for display modules, touchscreen technologies, and later, augmented reality and virtual reality head-mounted devices (HMDs).[2]

The company first products were touch performance testers for smartphones and later, user interface performance measurement tools. These tools were used to test smartphones touch performance such as Iphone[3] and Android devices[4]. Over the years, OptoFidelity expanded its focus to address the emerging needs of the AR/VR/MR sector. In 2022, they launched optical metrology systems, including the WG-IQ for waveguide image quality measurement and the WG-GAT diffractometer for AR waveguide characterization.[5]

In August 2017, OptoFidelity was acquired by Changyuan Group Ltd (CYG), a Chinese high-tech enterprise.[6] [7] In January 2018, OptoFidelity opened a manufacturing and assembly facility in Shenzhen, China.[8]
