Project description
Preparing on-demand prescription eyeglasses for the market
Prescription eyeglass lenses require time before they can be delivered to the customers. The EU-funded ODYSSEY project proposes a pioneering ultra-light-resolution solution based on laser printing technology developed by the Technical University of Denmark in the FET project, CHROMAVISION. The project will advance a business idea consisting of the production of on-demand, ultra-thin and light-weight prescription eyeglasses that will be rapidly laser printed in the shop. The main activities of the project are focused on the development of the business plan, research and technology to demonstrate prototype prescription glasses, the validation of the glasses with clients in the opticians store and the specification of the product and supply chain for university spin-out companies to be launched as a result of the project.
Objective
ODYSSEY will disrupt the prescription eye-glass lens value chain. We will exploit the novel ultra-high-resolution on-resonance laser printing technology, developed by ODYSSEY partner DTU in FET OPEN CHROMAVISION. Early innovation activities to analyze the business potential of our laser printing technology were conducted in FET Innovation Launchpad DeLight. This resulted our business idea: To introduce on-demand, ultra-thin and light-weight prescription eyeglasses, laser-printed in the shop while you wait. With this business vision, we won the Excellent Science category of the H2020 Innovation Radar Prize in 2018. DTU has filed two international patent applications on the ODYSSEY technology. The main project activities will be: (1) Develop our business plan (2) Research and technology development to demonstrate prototype prescription glasses (3) Validate prototype prescription glasses with clients in the optician’s shop (4) Specify product and supply chain for university spin-out to be launched in continuation of the project.
