Cellid, a Tokyo, Japan-based developer of AR glasses displays and spatial recognition engines for new devices, raised $13M in Funding.
The round was led by Development Bank of Japan Inc. and included a third-party allotment of new shares to funds managed or involved in the management of More Management Co., Ltd., CVC fund jointly established by Kyocera Corporation and Global Brain Corporation, 15th Rock, Inc., and FFG Venture Business Partners Co., Ltd.
The company intends to use the funds to strengthen the lineup of products and reference designs that are key components of AR glasses, such as micro projectors and waveguides, and promote the development of business areas that make use of reference designs.
Led by CEO Satoshi Shiraga, Cellid specializes in the development of advanced AR glass display modules, focusing on waveguides and spatial recognition engines for new devices. Leveraging optical simulation and proprietary production technologies, it has developed display modules as thin and lightweight as standard eyeglass lenses, delivering clear images and large fields of view for waveguides.
Additionally, Cellid offers industry-specific solutions powered by spatial recognition technologies such as Cellid SLAM.
This latest financing brought Cellid’s total funding raised to date to approximately USD 33 million (JPY 5.2 billion).
