Neat idea. They have to solve all-day battery life and reliability with no detectable heat before they make sense as a product, though. Given the need to constantly run sensing I will believe it when I see it. But I do want to see it. And the item they aim to replace is already incredibly expensive, so there's some runway here.
Even manual focus would be nice tho. Like when you tap the side of it, it activates the sensing and adjusts
or like just have it be mechanical, please
any sort of electronics in glasses sounds miserable to me
You can't possibly do what they're doing mechanically, so that's off the table. The question is whether you can solve the electronics issues correctly. I don't mind putting my glasses on a wireless charger overnight, but I am sure not going to stop what I'm doing in the middle of the day to recharge my eyeballs.
If we ignore the location focus you could have two lenses where you moving a lever rotates one compared to the others focal length. Basically how binocular focusing works, or camera Lens focusing. They are just going to be coke bottle bottom lenses Lol
Well, yeah, but we already know how to do bifocals and progressive lenses, which are basically... well, that but stacked on top of each other.
The point is to replace the need to look through a subsection of the lens to see up close for a solution that will give you the ability to switch depending on whether you're focusing close or far. That's a cool idea and fundamentally different to current solutions.
