Screen embedded reading glasses - a revolutionary optical technology that eliminates the need for reading glasses while using digital devices.

Project description

New thin foil revolutionises reading glasses

For people who suffer from vision impairment, it is difficult to view screens without glasses. From smartphones to car displays, the need for clear vision often hinders daily tasks and even road safety for drivers. The EIC-funded VISION_GLASS project will develop a solution that allows people with vision issues to view screens without the need for traditional glasses. This transparent, less than 0.5 mm thin foil employs invisible micro-optical elements using image projection micro-lens array technology, projecting a crystal clear image to infinity for the user. With VISION_GLASS, those suffering from presbyopia can bid farewell to their traditional glasses. Drivers, in particular, stand to benefit as they can now keep their maximum focus on the road while still viewing their car displays.

Objective

Our groundbreaking solution allows people who suffer of vision impairment to view sharply the screen of any device (smartphone, car display, etc.) without using their glasses. This, among other uses, can allow drivers to put their maximum focus on the road. VISION_GLASS is flexible, thin (less than 0.5mm) transparent foil applied to the display surface comprised of multi layers of tiny invisible micro-optical elements that are used for imaging. This solution will benefit millions of people suffering from presbyopia, and it is possible thanks to our innovative optical technology- Image Projection MLA. VISION_GLASS is a IP-MLA film consists of arrays mutually aligned in a very specific pattern between the positive and negative lenses to form multi–MLA layers of micro-optical elements that create an image at infinity at the user's eye. It is a revolution in the market of reading glasses.
