About

About HALO

HALO is MicroVision’s current ultra-thin long-range lidar for automotive and industrial perception. Its software-defined field of view reaches 120 by 39 degrees, with instrumented range up to 312 metres, frame rates from one to 30 hertz and range precision below three centimetres at 50 metres.

The 180-by-110-by-25-millimetre sensor is rated to IP67 with an IP69K optical window. HALO forms the long-range element in MicroVision’s tri-lidar architecture and supports software-defined resolution and scanning patterns for assisted-driving and autonomous systems.

Timeline

  • MicroVision IRIS enters an APAC autonomous-mobility pilot

    2026-09-14 - Deployment - Pilot vehicles integrate IRIS with cameras and radar in a multi-sensor perception architecture for real-time environmental awareness. IRIS supplies long-range 3D sensing for object detection and collision avoidance in higher-speed, low-light and nighttime conditions. The programme provides a migration path to MicroVision’s next-generation HALO sensor as the service advances toward broader commercial deployment.

  • MicroVision reaches $1.5 million Q2 revenue and signs autonomous-hauling agreement

    2026-08-06 - Market Signal - Revenue increased from $0.2 million a year earlier, while expected 2026 cash burn improved to approximately $60 million. The unnamed construction and mining OEM will use IRIS as a development bridge toward MicroVision’s HALO lidar architecture. The agreement expands MicroVision’s lidar work beyond road vehicles into heavy autonomous equipment for construction and mining.
