Optics
Fast, target-focused aiming with a clear reticle and no projected aiming laser. Your eye still needs a view through the sight.
Aim fast.
From more angles.
RedEye puts a reticle in your natural field of view through AR glasses. It follows where your firearm is pointing, so you can aim without lining your eye up behind the weapon’s sights—with no visible or infrared laser signature.

The Problem
Seeing the target isn’t enough.
Cover and confined spaces can make the weapon’s sights harder to bring into view. Seeing the target and finding your aiming reference are separate tasks.
Lasers
Aim without looking through a sight window. But the aiming spot’s visibility depends on conditions, and visible or infrared light is projected into the scene.
Scenario imagery—not RedEye demonstrations.
How It Works
RedEye separates aiming from the sight window.
A reticle in your natural field of view follows where the firearm is pointing—without looking through a weapon-mounted sight or projecting a visible or infrared aiming laser.
01
Sense
Sensors track the firearm and glasses.
02
Calculate
The system calculates the firearm’s direction relative to your view.
03
Display
The glasses display a reticle that follows the firearm’s direction.
In the Field
Operational geometry changes the sight line.
Cover, low openings, and vehicles force the operator into changing geometry. These related field examples show where an eye-native aiming reference can preserve orientation through constrained positions.
Re-presentation from cover
The aim vector remains in view as the operator re-presents, without first rebuilding alignment through a fixed optic window.
02 / 04
The same orientation-fusion architecture also extends to vehicle-mounted and remote weapon systems, placing platform aim direction into an operator’s view rather than confining it to a separate screen.
Applications
Where geometry challenges the optic.
Four environments where a weapon-referenced cue in the operator’s view can preserve orientation without forcing eye, optic, and target onto one line.
Close quarters
Doorways and confined interiors compress time, visibility, and available firing posture.
RedEye keeps the weapon-referenced cue in view when a conventional optic cannot be cleanly shouldered.
Steep angles
Stairwells create rapid elevation changes while foreground and upper-level threats compete for attention.
An eye-native reference supports upward aim without requiring the operator to rebuild a narrow sight picture.
01 / 02
Low light
Night ranges and dark interiors reduce visual information while movement and angles remain demanding.
A view-native aiming cue can remain legible without adding a target-projected laser or scene-camera dependency.
Counter-UAS
Small aerial targets demand sustained upward tracking across a wide and fast-changing field of regard.
RedEye’s eye-native architecture is designed to keep an aim reference available while the operator remains head-up on the sky.
Our Solution
RedEye AR Glasses.
A firearm-agnostic sensor pairs with lightweight AR glasses to project a stable aiming reticle exactly where the barrel is pointing — inside the shooter's own field of view. No optic to shoulder. No signature to detect.

Intellectual Property
Extensive, protected IP.
Future Optek has been granted two US patents covering its technology — protecting the core AR aiming architecture through to networked, multi-device and sensor-fusion configurations.
US 11,922,586 B1 · Issued March 5, 2024
Firearm Sight Improvements Using OLED or LCoS Arrays
Projects a stable, daylight-visible reticle into the user's natural field of view via a compact AR waveguide, eliminating the need to align eye to optic. The reticle is rendered by the glasses, not a weapon-mounted optic, enabling novel aiming postures and faster target acquisition.
- Always-on reticle in the FOV — no eye-relief constraints
- No traditional zeroing ritual — alignment from system calibration
- Head-up situational awareness — FOV is not tunnelled through glass
- Covers pistol and long-gun configurations
US 12,380,657 B1 · Issued August 5, 2025
Advanced Networking, Detection and Multi-Device Data Visualisation
A framework for networking multiple devices — including MR glasses, drones and sensing platforms — to capture, fuse and visualise data directly in mixed reality. Describes a modular MR hardware architecture, multi-drone coordination for scanning and mapping, and diverse imaging and detection sensors delivering shared situational awareness across users and devices.
- Shared situational picture across operators, drones and sensors
- Modular headset supports swappable sensors, radios and compute
- Networked drone formations for 3D structure scans and recon
- Applicable across defense, public safety, robotics and guidance
Traction
Industry validated.
The technology has moved out of the workshop. Independent defense and technology press have covered it, the patent office has granted the core claims, and the prototype has been demonstrated in an operational environment — with accelerator and programme recognition behind it.

Origin & Team
From first principle to live fire.
Matthew Pohl — Founder & CEO
As featured on Military.com →The idea started on a beach in the Florida Keys. Matt Pohl had read about transparent AR displays and wondered whether the reticle on a real firearm could move with the native eye, in real time.
Turning that question into a fielded system has been the work of a team: engineers across inertial sensing, optics and embedded software, alongside test partners, instructors and advisors who have put the prototype through live fire. Together they have taken Future Optek from first principle to two issued US patents, a prototype validated in the field, and the traction the company holds today.
"We really succeeded in designing this in a way that makes sense for a soldier's situational awareness — prioritising what they should be focusing on."
