What Optofidelity does

OptoFidelity is a Finnish technology company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Tampere, Finland, that designs and manufactures precision optical metrology and test automation systems. The company operates as a subsidiary of Changyuan Group Ltd (长园集团), which acquired it in 2017, and runs roughly 370 employees across offices in Finland, the United States, and manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen and a 3,000 sqm Zhuhai center in China. Over 19 years, OptoFidelity has delivered more than 9,000 test systems and was recognized with Finland's Presidential Internationalization Award (2016) and Photonics Finland's Photonics Company of the Year (2018). Quality management operates under ISO 9001, and 2023 R&D spend was 14% of revenue.

The product portfolio is organized into three families. AR/VR/MR testing covers waveguide characterization and head-mounted display performance via BUDDY, WG-IQ, WG-GAT, Production IQ, and Production MTF. Smart device and HMI testing covers touch displays, stylus performance, haptic feedback, and UI latency via TOUCH, STYLUS, the Haptics Measurement Instrument, and WatchDog. Circular economy testing covers functional and cosmetic grading of pre-owned smartphones via FUSION and SCORE. A custom System Integration and Metrology offering serves nano-optics and bespoke test needs. Technical differentiators include picometer-level grating measurement resolution on WG-GAT (validated by the VTT MIKES national metrology institute as up to 50 times more accurate than conventional AFM and SEM methods), arcsecond-scale angular precision, and SI-unit traceability.

OptoFidelity generates revenue primarily through one-time license sales of capital test systems delivered with on-site setup, training, and multi-year service contracts, supplemented by custom integration services. Customers include Samsung, Google, Magic Leap, Lenovo, Xreal, Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, poLight, the U.S. Army CERDEC for tactical AR testing, and TÜV Rheinland for XR certification. Distribution uses dedicated regional sales teams in EMEA, the US, and Asia, with channel partners A-1 Wireless in Canada and ScreenCouples in South Korea. In October 2025, Assurant acquired the mobile device test automation technology portfolio as a carve-out, leaving the AR/VR/MR optical metrology business intact under Changyuan Group ownership.
