Vision-Restoring Visors

The eSight 3 Improves Vision for the Legally Blind

— February 15, 2017 — Tech
The majority of people with visual impairments -- those who qualify as legally blind — have some degree of sight, and the eSight 3 is a new device that maximizes those people's vision. The technologically complex visor uses a high-quality video feed to present clearer and larger images of the surrounding world, effectively giving legally blind people a new mode of sight.

The eSight 3 uses liquid lens technology to get the camera to behave in kind with the human eye. It can focus in less than one millisecond, which is about the same speed as a sighted person's eye. The device's "bioptic tilt" technology also engenders better peripheral vision, which is important for reacting in visually complex environments (such as a busy street.) eSight 3's two OLED screens present all these images with virtually no lag.
Trend Themes
1. Enhanced Vision Technology - The development and implementation of advanced vision-enhancing devices like the eSight 3 present disruptive innovation opportunities in the healthcare and assistive technology industries.
2. Liquid Lens Technology - The use of liquid lens technology in devices like the eSight 3 opens up disruptive innovation possibilities in fields such as optics, photography, and virtual reality.
3. Bioptic Tilt Technology - The integration of bioptic tilt technology in visual enhancement devices like the eSight 3 creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in industries such as automotive, aviation, and surveillance.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The eSight 3's vision-enhancing capabilities offer disruptive innovation opportunities in the healthcare industry, allowing for improved treatments and interventions for visually impaired individuals.
2. Assistive Technology - The eSight 3's innovative features and technological advancements present disruptive opportunities in the assistive technology industry, enabling visually impaired individuals to live more independent lives.
3. Optics - The liquid lens technology utilized in the eSight 3 introduces disruptive innovation opportunities in the optics industry, providing improved imaging and vision solutions for various applications.
