During thespring of 2021, it is our goal to invite a strategicallyselected Asian display manufacturer to participate intheco-developmentofacentralsub-system:thedisplaybackplane.This isanaturalnextstep inmaturing thetechnologyandbringingitclosertomassproduction.

INNOVATION

Since the beginning of our journey more than a decade ago, our vision has always been about creating experiences that bring people together. At the heart of this vision sits our innovation team, a group of dedicated, like-minded individuals all sharing the belief that our technology should be about enabling magical moments that can be collectively experienced and shared with others. Positioned in the so-called Mixed Reality field, Realfiction is on the verge of taking the next step beyond the current approach of head-mounted wearables, that we believe is just the first, primitive stage.

Wehaveintensifiedourinvestmentininnovation–andwenowbelievethatwehavefoundthetechnologythatwillallowustoinventtheholygrailof3Dexperiences;free-floatinghologramsthatrequirenoglasses,devicesorotherlensesbetweenthehumaneyeandtheeffect,andwhere3Dobjectscanbeviewedandinteractedwithfromdifferentangles.Thisdisplayhasformanyyearsexistedpurelyasanitemofsciencefiction,deemed
