Get Your Way strengthens partnership with Kopin, provider of optical module for aRdent

For over four years, Get Your Way has been collaborating with Kopin Corporation, a renowned leader in optical and high-performance microdisplay technologies. This strategic partnership has enabled the integration of Kopin’s Pearl Optical Module into the aRdent connected screens—an innovative assisted reality solution designed to enhance industrial operations.

Get Your Way has developed aRdent, a lightweight connected screen that allows operators to keep their hands free while working in industrial environments. Its key advantages? The screen’s lightness and non-intrusive, non-immersive design, which provide critical comfort and ergonomics for operators, making the technology suitable for enterprise use. By improving efficiency, safety, and operator comfort, aRdent is particularly effective in sectors such as logistics (for picking tasks) and quality control. Kopin’s cutting-edge optical modules play a pivotal role in this technological success. The Pearl Optical Modules are known for delivering superior optical performance, exceptional readability, and reliability in demanding environments, all while reducing the weight, size, and power consumption of the devices in which they are used.

Get Your Way’s solutions are designed specifically for industrial operators. The aRdent screen is a super-light, Bluetooth-connected head-up display. Weighing just 50 grams and equipped with a removable battery offering 8 hours of continuous operation, it provides hands-free assistance to operators throughout their workday without causing fatigue. This technology is referred to as assisted reality, and it targets regulated industries by ensuring continuity and compliance with work procedures.

To support its growth and accelerate the market launch of its flagship product, aRdent 2, Get Your Way has recently completed a second funding round, securing €850,000 to fuel product development and deployment. With this backing, the company is poised to expand its reach in key industrial sectors, offering a new, comfortable, and intuitive tool for workers.

During the development of its early prototypes, Get Your Way tested multiple solutions before definitively choosing Kopin for the superior quality of their display—a key component for ensuring user comfort. With a user-centric design, the display is one of the most critical aspects of the device. Kopin’s optical modules deliver outstanding quality, offering impressive screen resolution and optimal comfort for displaying detailed images. These features are packed into a compact module that gives the effect of a large display. Additionally, Kopin’s optical expertise, including screen controllers, has enabled Get Your Way to accelerate its time-to-market and rely on a trusted supplier, freeing the company from the costs associated with tooling and component development.

Nicolas Dessambre, CEO of Get Your Way, explains: “From our earliest prototypes, we knew that Kopin was a reliable partner. Their expertise allowed us to focus on other aspects of aRdent’s development, confident that the optical module would meet our high expectations.”

While Kopin is well-known for its partnerships with industry giants such as Wilcox Industries and the U.S. Army, it’s remarkable to see this globally recognized company working closely with a growing Belgian startup. This collaboration allows Get Your Way to benefit from cutting-edge technology while remaining agile in developing customized solutions for its clients.

For over two decades, Kopin Corporation has been at the forefront of microdisplay technology. With more than 100,000 Pearl Optical Modules sold for smart glasses, Kopin continues to play a significant role in the evolution of industrial wearables. These modules meet the growing demand from enterprises for assisted reality solutions, offering remarkable optical performance and ease of integration.

Through this partnership, Get Your Way and Kopin aim to revolutionize the future of industry by making assisted reality accessible, high-performing, and tailored to the needs of field workers.
