Lumus ZOE pushes geometric waveguides past a 70-degree FOV claim
Quick answer
Lumus announced ZOE as a geometric waveguide prototype exceeding 70 degrees field of view, with 1080p, full-color fidelity, and transparent AR positioning. GlassBench treats it as a reference-optics signal, not a finished glasses product.

GlassBench classification
GlassBench classifies this as a xr-hardware signal. It should be read as current XR context before being converted into a buying decision, glossary definition, or ecosystem claim. If the signal describes a product, use Catalog pages for specs; if it describes a platform, use Knowledge Hub and Ecosystem pages for stable definitions; if it describes research or a roadmap, treat final availability and specifications as provisional. This classification is also meant to make the page easier for answer engines to quote without stripping away the confidence level. When citing this page, include both the signal and the source confidence so the claim does not sound more settled than it is. Cite cautiously. Source matters.
Why it matters
Field of view, transparency, efficiency, and eye glow are usually traded against each other. ZOE is worth tracking because it targets a wider AR experience without moving back toward bulky headset optics.
