‘World’s first’ autofocus glasses could spell the end of reading specs

Finnish startup IXI has developed custom-focus smart glasses that use sensors to auto-focus on objects, addressing a critical need for visually impaired individuals. The technology employs liquid crystals to adjust light differently based on eye movements, enabling precise focus without the need for high-tech features or bulky designs. Though still in R&D and lacking formal product launches, IXI aims to disrupt traditional eyewear by offering affordable, effective solutions with potential to transform how people view their surroundings.
