“Swave’s vision and innovative 3D holographic technology hold great promise for products that bring the metaverse to life and work”

Noonen takes the helm from Theodore Marescaux who guided the company through its initial technology development, customer engagement and funding stages. He joins the leadership team that includes Swave’s founder and chief product officer Theodore Marescaux, founder and COO Dmitri Choutov, and chairman of the board of directors, Pieter Vorenkamp.

Based on more than seven years of technology development at imec, Swave has pioneered a next-generation approach to 3D holography, Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) technology, which delivers lifelike, high-resolution 3D images that are viewable with the naked eye, with no compromises. Powered by diffractive photonics with <250nm pixel pitch, HXR chips enable 1000x better pixel resolution with billions of tiny, densely packed pixels to enable true realistic 20/20 vision without requiring viewers to wear smart AR/VR headsets or prescription glasses.

“Swave’s vision and innovative 3D holographic technology hold great promise for products that bring the metaverse to life and work,” said Peter Vanbekbergen, partner at imec.xpand and early investor in Swave. “We look forward to working with Mike Noonen as he leads Swave in its next phase of growth and commercial success. We also are grateful to Theodore Marescaux for his leadership in bringing Swave to this point.”
