The Visual Layer for
AI-Powered Performance
Ultra-bright, razor-thin AR glasses built for athletes — powered by metalens optics and microLED.
The Problem
Current Smart Glasses Fail Athletes
Existing AR glasses were designed for office environments — not for athletes competing in the real world.
Invisible in Sunlight
Conventional AR displays top out at 1,000 nits — washed out and unreadable when you step outside.
Too Bulky for Sport
Heavy frames and protruding optics create drag and discomfort during running, cycling, and swimming.
Dead Before the Finish Line
Existing smart glasses rarely last more than 2 hours — useless for endurance athletes.
The Solution
LiPro Vision Changes Everything
4,000+ Nits — Sunlight Readable
Our metalens optical engine delivers 4× brighter output than the competition, clear even under direct sun.
50% Lighter Than Competitors
The razor-thin optical stack replaces bulky waveguide assemblies, keeping the frame sport-slim.
10+ Hours Battery Life
Metalens optics consume 4–6× less power than traditional optics, so you finish the race still connected.
The Technology
Metalens Optical Engine
We built a proprietary optical engine — the MOE — that combines a metalens nanostructure array with a microLED display. Unlike conventional AR glasses that rely on side projection through thick waveguides, our system places the display directly in front of the eye for unmatched brightness and efficiency.
How It Works
MicroLED Display
A monochrome green microLED panel generates high-brightness imagery with minimal power draw.
Metalens Nanostructure Array
Engineered nanostructures on a flat lens surface collimate and focus light with near-zero thickness.
Direct-View Projection
Light is projected directly in front of the eye — no side-mounted projector, no thick waveguide, no distortion.
AI Data Overlay
Real-time biometric, GPS, and performance data is rendered transparently over the athlete's field of view.
MOE vs. Conventional Optics

Use Cases
Perform at Every Discipline
LiPro Vision puts real-time AI data exactly where athletes need it — in their field of view, not on their wrist.
Running
Keep your eyes on the road while your AR overlay surfaces real-time pace, heart rate, and turn-by-turn navigation. No more glancing at your watch mid-stride.
Swimming
Finally — performance data underwater. The smart swim goggles count your laps, track your splits, and measure stroke rate in real time so you can focus on form.
Cycling
Stay aerodynamic and informed. Route navigation, speed, and power data overlay your view so you never have to take your hands off the bars or break your riding position.

Our Story
Built by an Athlete, for Athletes
Frank Lin — Co-founder & CEO
Frank Lin is both a competitive triathlete and a veteran researcher from Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) — which puts him at the exact intersection of athletic performance and deep tech engineering.
Training for triathlons, Frank experienced first-hand how every existing AR headset failed the moment he stepped outside. Too dim in sunlight. Too heavy to run in. Dead battery before the finish line. He knew the technology to fix this existed — it just needed to be assembled in a completely new way.
In April 2024, he co-founded LiPro Vision to build the optical engine that athletes actually need.
Milestones
"We're not just building another display device — we're building the visual layer for AI-powered performance."
