Tokyo – October 19, 2026 -- Cellid Inc. has placed its AR glasses reference design, built on proprietary waveguide technology, in the Computer History Museum's new "Extended Reality: Visions of the Future" exhibit, alongside disassembled components of its HJ1 AI Smart Glasses.
Exhibit runs October 1, 2026 to March 28, 2027 in Mountain View
The Computer History Museum (CHM) opened the show on October 1, 2026, in Mountain View, California. It closes on March 28, 2027. The exhibit brings together more than 100 devices and artifacts spanning six decades of innovation in virtual, augmented and mixed reality, smart glasses and AI-powered wearables.
Cellid's items sit alongside contemporary smart glasses and earlier extended reality systems. The curators frame the display around advances in miniaturization, ergonomics, artificial intelligence and wearable technology.
Cellid's waveguides target thinner, lighter everyday eyewear
Cellid develops waveguides and display technologies intended to make AR glasses thinner, lighter and more comfortable. Its waveguides place digital images within the user's field of view while preserving the transparency needed to see the surrounding environment.
The company also builds AR glasses reference designs. These show how its waveguide and display technologies can be integrated into lightweight eyewear.
CEO Shiraga frames exhibit as validation of the wearable computing thesis
CEO Satoshi Shiraga said Cellid believes AR glasses can become an important part of the future of computing by making digital information more naturally accessible. He said the company is working to make the technology lighter, more comfortable and practical for everyday use.
