LightVision, augmented reality glasses against AMD

The Start-Up LightVision has developed new augmented reality glasses . These will allow the visually impaired person who wears them to have images projected onto their retina. In addition, they will be equipped with new technology: " Eye tracking » which would allow pupil movements to be tracked and visual diseases to be corrected.

LightVision to help people with AMD

AMD is an eye disease that causes loss of central vision . This is irreversible and cannot be cured. This is why many companies, including LightVision, are currently looking for glasses and technologies that could improve the quality of life of these people.
In fact, the company explains that "The goal of LightVision is to visually help people with AMD, a disease that affects around 1.5 million people in France and more than 60 million worldwide . This disease of the center of the retina gradually leads to the loss of central vision, forcing the patient to use their peripheral vision, which is unfortunately very imprecise and not very sensitive to contrasts and colors.
Augmented reality glasses will be implemented thanks to two cameras placed in the branches which film the patient's environment. People suffering from this visual disease will therefore be able to view their surroundings correctly and more easily thanks to close-ups and amplified luminance.
The engineers and inventors of this start-up should market these glasses soon at a price of €7,000.

A great hope to help these patients get out of the fog.
