Technology is on a mission to improve everything in its path, with glasses as its next target in mind. Every few centuries, eyewear receives a dramatic upgrade - dating back to the refresh in body design in the 18th century. Developers around the world have a mission to incorporate entertainment into eyewear, allow phone connectivity, and cater to the visionless. Let’s dig in.
The future of eyewear begins with smart glasses. Smart glasses will incorporate sensors, bone conduction speakers, and gesture controls. Furthermore, they will allow hands-free calling, wireless music listening, and activity tracking. Some models will even have cameras and a mini-display.
For those seeking an alternative to corrective lenses, nano-drops could be your avenue. This includes a 3-step system measuring light refraction using a smartphone app. The user’s vision pattern is outlined by laser technology, then converted into nanoparticle drop prescriptions. This changes the trajectory of light passing through the corneas, equivalent to lenses.
Continuing on the topic, the Visual Cortical Prosthesis System will use technology as a tool in helping blind users be able to see again. The science behind this is simpler to describe than it sounds- keep reading to the infographic below for more information on the future of eyewear.
