Headquartered in central Israeli town Ness Ziona, Lumus develops and produces transparent AR displays built with a technology reminiscent of optical fibers. The company was founded in 2000 by Yaakov Amitai, a former executive at Israeli defense optics company ELOP Ltd., which merged with defense technology company Elbit Systems Ltd. in 2000. Lumus has raised $51 million to date, from investors including Alibaba Group, HTC and Taipei-listed Quanta Computer Inc., according to Pitchbook data.
