Meta, a company that designs augmented reality hardware and software, sued its former chief of the optical department, Zhong Zhangyi and its startup company DreamWorld, more than 20 defendants in the federal court of Northern District of California, claiming that Zhong Zhangyi violated the contract and invaded himself. Trade secrets.
The company stated that Zhong Zhangyi used his time in Meta to "shamelessly steal business confidential information related to company technology, supply chain, manufacturing methods, network, business, investment, and market strategy." This creates its own augmented reality startup DreamWorld.
Zhong Zhang joined Meta as a Senior Optical Engineer in March 2015 and then "suddenly resigned" in July.
Today, Meta's augmented reality system has received $73 million in financing, including Y Combinator, Tencent, Lenovo and Comcast Venture Capital.
The San Mateo-based company has built a wired augmented reality device "Meta 2" and claims that Meta 2 has a wider perspective than those using waveguide displays (for example), but it The technology used by the lenses is simpler and cheaper.
Meta 2's perspective is about 90 degrees, and Zhong Zhangyi claims his company's DreamGlass equipment has reached a 100 degree perspective. DreamWorld's device is about to enter the scheduled stage and costs $350. Currently, the Meta 2 kit retails for $949.
Meta also claims that Zhong Zhangyi stole Meta's "market penetration strategy."
The SLAM map-building techniques used by the company's competitors (such as Microsoft) for the initial hardware needed to be equipped with other expensive technologies to optimize and reduce device mentions. Meta, on the other hand, pays more attention to the use of existing equipment to provide developers with a better user visual experience and continue to profit during the process of technological optimization.
In this case, Meta detailed the design of the company's optical engine and intends to provide support for the display of mobile devices (rather than PCs) in the future.
Although Meta claims in the lawsuit that it "supports free and fair competition in the augmented reality market," it said that before Zhong entered the Meta, there was absolutely no experience with any of DreamGlass' core technologies. In Meta, Zhong Zhangyi is one of the inventors of the "Wide Angle Head Display Device" patent.
In addition, Meta also claimed that Zhong Zhangyi attempted to blur his identity. After leaving the company, he changed his nickname from "Johnny" to "Kevin", but he did not change his position to "DreamWorld Chief Executive" in LinkedIn. official".
