The conceptual 'SWP' headset has been designed by Haechan Ryu as a healthcare device for use with children as a way to correct strabismus (AKA crossed or misaligned eyes) in a noninvasive manner.
The headset, which is an acronym for Simplicity With Professionalism, offers an alternative to surgery that isn't possible for young children. The lenses are capable of being easily adjusted to suit the different needs of the patient, while the supportive design keeps the child feeling comfortable.
The conceptual 'SWP' headset works with a motorized prism held in the visor that will rotate to exercise the eyes and thus correct the angle of sight overtime. The patient wouldn't new pairs of eyeglasses on a continual basis thanks to the built-in angle adjustment capability.
