Accelerating the next-generation AR glasses experience with a gaze-controlled UI and ultra-lightweight form factor TOKYO, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellid Inc., a developer of displays and spatial recognition engines for next-generation AR glasses, today announced that it has supplied its latest waveguide (AR glass lens) for the next-generation AI smart glasses "J9," developed by Jorjin Technologies Inc., a premier AR/XR platform solution provider dedicated to wearable innovation for decades. This product is scheduled for public announcement in Q2 2026, and its reference design for evaluation is available now. In Japan, Cellid will serve as the authorized distributor. Cellid has established a strong track record through its collaboration with the Foxconn Group on the development of next-generation waveguides. For this model, the "J9," Jorjin and Cellid have combined their world-class development and manufacturing capabilities. Leveraging their experience in mass production, they aim to further accelerate the transition of AR glasses into the phase of widespread real-world adoption. An intuitive user experience enabled by the "J9" eye-tracking UI The J9 features a "Gaze-Controlled UI," enabling users to complete all interface operations using only their eyes. With a hands-free, voice-free "Look. Select. Done." Interaction model, users can easily perform a wide range of tasks, including taking photos, recording videos, navigating form screens, and adjusting brightness. Key Features of "J9" - Equipped with Cellid's ultra-thin waveguide: The ultra-thin, high-brightness glass waveguide achieves a thickness comparable to standard eyeglass lenses. - Gaze-controlled UI: Enables hands-free and voice-free operation—users can take photos and control the interface simply by looking. - Built-in high-precision eye tracking: Uses two compact cameras and infrared LEDs to detect gaze with approximately 3-degree accuracy. - Full-color display on the lens: Projects full-color images (500 × 380 pixels) directly into the user's field of view with a 25° FOV. - High-performance processor
