Metalenz is on a mission to revolutionize mobile devices with its cutting-edge metasurface technology. The company’s innovation replaces traditional bulky, multi-layered camera stacks with a single flat optical layer, enhancing performance while reducing costs.

In this special episode, recorded at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Metalenz CEO Rob Devlin discusses how this breakthrough technology could reshape the industry.

The Boston-based Harvard spinout’s flagship product, PolarID, promises secure face-unlock capabilities across a wider range of devices, enabling seamless full-screen displays and expanding biometric functionality to laptops.

With partnerships like STMicroelectronics and emerging applications in the medical field, Metalenz is positioning itself to redefine how AI-driven systems capture and process visual information—opening new frontiers in mobile technology and beyond.
