Our Solution - the iGlasses prototype
Components of the iGlasses
1. The lenses are made of a crystal that adjusts refraction based on electric current.
2. Electrodes in the frame apply current to the crystal in the lens.
3. Sensors scan the distance to the retina and detect abnormalities in the eye.
4. Al focus active autofocus technology sends an infrared radiation signal outward. Based on the reflected beam, it judges the distance to the object being viewed.
5. Sensors track iris movement to determine what the wearer is looking at; this lets the iGlasses determine where to focus.
6. The microprocessor analyzes and stores all the data from the sensors, adjusts the lenses, and provides real-time augmented vision content to the heads-up display.
7. Outward facing camera records the surroundings and feeds back into the augmented vision system.
8. An OLED heads-up display is embedded in the lens to provide the augmented vision.
Section Summary
