""None of the tech giants are fixing eyesight," N iko Eiden, IXI's cofounder and CEO, told TNW in an interview. "They're looking at smart eyewear as a new wearable platform for AI assistants or capturing footage for your social media feed, but not solving the actual vision problem.""
As tech giants focus on augmented reality and smart functionality, Finnish startup IXI is making strides with autofocus glasses aimed at helping the visually-impaired. Launched with $36 million in funding, IXI's glasses feature a simple yet innovative design using eye-tracking technology rather than complex AI or social media capabilities. This approach aims to address genuine vision issues rather than following trends, with co-founder Niko Eiden emphasizing a commitment to practical solutions for users. With a background in advanced imaging technologies, Eiden hopes to transform how people with vision impairment perceive their surroundings.
