Building the Platform: A Technical Deep Dive

Engineering Team

The Illume.one platform is built on three integrated layers, each essential for reality generation. This technical overview explains how these layers work together to generate reality.

Light Composition Layer

The optical layer generates light fields in space through precise control of light emission, direction, and distribution. Unlike displays that emit light from fixed pixel positions, this layer organizes light to create multi-viewpoint distributions, enabling natural depth perception and viewing angle independence.

Presence Runtime Layer

The runtime layer ensures continuity and presence. It manages viewpoint tracking, prediction, and adaptive rendering to maintain stable reality generation as observers move. This layer bridges perception and computation, operating at low latency to prioritize presence over fidelity.

Spatial Content Primitives

The content layer adapts to spatial reality. Content is structured not as screen assets, but as spatial primitives that define how light should be organized. This includes formats, specifications, and authoring approaches native to reality generation.
