Preciseley Microtechnology produces key components for augmented reality devices. Augmented reality gives a virtual layer of digital information over the physical, real world environment. For example, a device might give information on temperature, location, directions and names of people in the field of view. The most active medical uses of OCT have been to examine the retinal substructure of the eye, and under skin and nails. Precisely Microtechnology designs and manufactures tiny mirror components that projects the virtual data onto the retinal of the eye to make it visible. Their device makes OCT ultra thin, so it can quickly get to new places inside the body to imagine internal organs and even teeth. The company’s microcomponent is also used by cell phone manufacturers to project a bigger image of the display onto a surface, allowing users to see and interact with a virtual keyboard or make a presentation from a cell phone directly onto a wall.

Electronic Design Chemnitz GmbH acts as a design provider in the fields of discrete circuit design, electronic measurement, sensor applications, ASIC-Design and integrated microsystems. The company was founded in January 2008 as a spin-off from the Chair of Electronic Components for Micro- and Nanotechnology at the Chemnitz University of Technology and is now part of the “Smart Systems Campus” near the Chemnitz University of Technology, a center for microelectronics, microsystems technology and system integration in Saxony.
