Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete (hothardware.com)

Exciting news for those enough who are 40+ and spend too much time in front of a computer screen: a Finnish startup called IXI is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the 'head-tilt' struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye using a combination of infrared eye tracking and liquid crystal-transparent indium tin oxide glasses

As a 55 man constantly switching glasses, taking them off, losing the “right” pair, etc. please please please …

progressive bifocals.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I have a pair on right now. They're better than not seeing correctly, but only being able to focus on a computer screen with less than a third of your vertical field of view sucks. There are options, but one of the best is having more sets of glasses, which isn't convenient or cheap. These could solve that. I'm sure Amazon will make it not worth it at some point, though.

Yeah Amazon will figure out a way to enshittify them for sure. Most. Likely with a subscription program for what should be totally standalone.

Nausea-inducing bifocals? No thanks.
