IXI has developed glasses with lenses containing liquid crystals that can change their vision-correcting properties on the fly. This technology allows a single pair of glasses to adapt to the user's specific needs at any moment through an eye-tracker. While the eyewear market is expected to grow due to increasing age-related vision issues like presbyopia, past failures in tech-led eyewear underscore the importance of consumer acceptance and design aesthetics. Such glasses aim to provide clear vision without the cumbersome adjustments typical with bifocals or varifocals.
These liquid crystals we can rotate them with an electrical field. It's totally, freely tuneable.
The market for eyewear tech is likely to grow. Presbyopia is projected to become more common as the world's population ages.
Consumer acceptability is key. We need to make our products actually look like existing eyewear.
The first lenses that we produced were horrible. Those early prototypes were hazy.
