The EyeSafety Zone TV has been proposed at a time when many people are spending great proportions of their days in front of various digital displays. What Jung Minjung, Sohn Jaejun and Kim Doyun have thought up is a screen that teaches and encourages relevant ocular health.
Adults will sometimes sit too close to their television sets, but it's children who don't know any better, and for whom this concept has really been developed. The entertainment unit would have built-in sensors that seek out people's pupils and gauge their distances from the illuminated surface. If eyes are detected too closely, the EyeSafety Zone TV will darken to a point that's difficult to discern the moving images, suggesting that you should back up to experience better visual clarity.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Ocular Health Tech
- There is a growing trend in creating tech solutions for ocular health, with opportunities for disruptive innovation in developing screens and other devices that protect and improve eye health.
- Screen Distance Sensors
- As more people spend time in front of screens, there is a trend in developing technologies with sensors that measure the distance between the user and the screen, presenting opportunities for innovation in creating screens which take into account human eye health.
- Child-oriented Tech
- With children especially at risk from screens, there is a growing trend in developing technology, like the EyeSafety Zone TV, that specifically aims to educate and protect young people's ocular health.
Where This Applies
