Finnish eyewear company IXI is set to launch innovative smart glasses that look ordinary but feature an “auto-focus” system. The glasses automatically adjust the lenses based on the wearer’s vision.
The smart glasses combine advanced eye-tracking sensors with lenses containing liquid crystals. This allows the prescription to change instantly depending on where the user is looking. IXI says this makes the glasses more convenient than traditional bifocal or varifocal lenses, which have limitations for near and distant vision.
A set of photodiodes and LEDs work together to track the eyes. Invisible infrared light reflects off the eye, and the glasses measure the reflection to determine the wearer’s focus. This enables precise and automatic adjustment of the lenses.
IXI highlights that these smart glasses offer a seamless experience, eliminating the common drawbacks of multifocal lenses. Wearers can switch focus between near and far objects naturally without discomfort or manual adjustment.
The company claims the technology marks a major step forward in adaptive eyewear. Users can expect a combination of comfort, clarity, and convenience. The glasses are designed for everyday use and aim to make vision correction effortless.
Experts suggest that smart glasses like IXI’s could transform how people with vision problems experience daily activities, reading, and working on digital devices. The auto-focus lenses could also reduce eye strain caused by constantly switching focus between distances.
IXI plans to showcase the smart glasses at upcoming technology and eyewear exhibitions. The launch is expected to attract interest from consumers, optometrists, and tech enthusiasts alike.
With the integration of smart technology into everyday eyewear, IXI aims to make vision correction more personalized and adaptive. These smart glasses represent the next generation of eyewear innovation.
IXI is also exploring smart glasses for augmented reality applications, which could expand the technology beyond vision correction.
