Precision optical integration for next-generation cockpit and cabin systems

Modern aerospace systems must deliver absolute clarity and reliability while operating under extreme constraints. OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers face increasing pressure to improve pilot situational awareness and passenger experience, without adding weight, complexity, or compromising certified designs.

Based on ZEISS ProSight®, our scalable holographic technology platform, ZEISS Microoptics develops micro-optical solutions for cockpit and cabin applications. These solutions integrate critical information directly into transparent surfaces and support compact architectures, reduced weight, and efficient integration into aerospace platforms designed for long operational lifecycles.

Integrated optical systems engineered for long-term aerospace programs

Aerospace systems place high demands on optical performance, integration depth, and system robustness. OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers must balance safety, clarity, weight, and design constraints while developing cockpit and cabin architectures under strict regulatory and operational requirements.

We believe tomorrow’s aerospace requires more than incremental improvements. With over 40 years of expertise in holography and a long-standing heritage in optical engineering, we develop precision-engineered optical systems designed for compact, lightweight, and efficient cockpit and cabin integration. Our focus lies in functional integration and system-level architecture aligned with modern aerospace platform requirements.

Based on ZEISS ProSight®, our scalable holographic technology platform, glass and transparent polymer surfaces can be engineered to integrate projection, lighting, sensing, and filtering within a unified optical system architecture. This approach reduces overall system complexity while preserving optical clarity and installation flexibility in space-constrained aerospace environments.

We support aerospace customers through advanced optical design and system development expertise, delivering solutions that integrate efficiently into existing cockpit and cabin platforms.

    Over 40 years of holography expertise

  • Optical systems for cockpit and cabin applications

  • Integration of functions within transparent surfaces for compact system design

  • Design flexibility for demanding aerospace environments

  • Scalable solutions supporting long-term aerospace programs

  • Compact and weight-optimized architectures

Tapping into our long history and expertise in holography, we are laying the groundwork for compact optical systems that transform both cockpit and cabin environments. Aircraft interiors will evolve from screen-based installations to architectures where information is integrated directly into transparent surfaces.

 

This approach supports compact cockpit solutions, improves pilot situational awareness, and creates new passenger experiences in the cabin while reducing system complexity.
