About Us
Illume builds true light field systems that make spatial content real in space. We organize light, not pixels—creating stable depth, multi-viewpoint parallax, and presence without headsets.
We are an engineering-led team with deep background in precision optics, display systems, embedded control, and production manufacturing. Our focus is not concept demos alone, but systems that can be deployed, calibrated, and maintained reliably.
Across Illume Box and Illume One, we combine optical science, industrial design, and software control into integrated spatial systems for both consumer-grade and enterprise-grade deployments.
Based in Palo Alto, California, we build for engineers who demand clarity, precision, and measurable performance.
Our history and track record
Our story is not a single product launch. It is a continuous engineering path that combines optical depth, system integration discipline, and delivery experience across real deployments.
Built on long-form technical practice
Our team background spans optics, display engineering, embedded control, and production operations.
Evolved through multiple product generations
Illume systems are the result of iterative architecture upgrades in optical performance, stability, and deployability.
From lab capability to field reliability
We emphasize repeatable calibration, maintainable deployment, and measurable behavior in real environments.
One clear identity
Illume is the product and company-facing identity across hardware, software, and integrated delivery.
Mission
Make reality visible through light.
Vision
Define the global standard for light field computing.
Values
Craft · Rigor · Collaboration · Innovation
Technical foundations
Optical architecture
Light-field and aerial-imaging optical stacks, viewing-angle engineering, and depth-field tuning.
Display and electronics integration
Panel selection, driver optimization, thermal and power design, and enclosure-level system balancing.
Spatial rendering pipeline
Content adaptation, playback consistency, low-latency behavior, and deployment-ready software control.
Manufacturing and calibration
Precision assembly, repeatable calibration workflow, and quality validation from prototype to production.
From engineering to deployment
We run projects as systems engineering programs, with clear checkpoints from specification to field operation.
