Martin Harriman is Executive Chairman of WaveOptics, a global provider of pioneering augmented reality waveguides offering exceptional picture quality in flexible form factors. Only just last month they raised $12m in an investment round from Blippar, Imperial Innovations, & Octopus Ventures, and are now primed to reinvent the AR market by developing a series of new AR display tech that enables a wider field of view and brighter full colour images. Martin will be sharing all on the journey of WaveOptics and their ambitions to launch their program into new markets and territories.
