ViXion has kicked off its crowdfunding effort for the ViXion01S autofocusing glasses. This latest version is lighter than the original ViXion 1 model and helps users to see small items up close and distant objects more easily, reducing strain on their eyes without the need to change glasses.
Autofocusing Technology
These glasses can automatically adjust their focus on things ranging from 5cm to infinity. This feature allows people to work on intricate tasks like miniatures, electronic parts, and other detailed work without having to use magnifying glasses or specialized eyewear. The pupillary distance (PD) can be set between 55mm and 73mm, accommodating most eyeglass users.
Pricing and Options
For those keen on purchasing, they can back the campaign for 64,800 yen (around $430) for a single pair of glasses via Greenfunding or Kibidango. Readers who are looking for a more budget-friendly alternative can check out affordable magnifying glasses on Amazon.
Charging and Specifications
The ViXion01S is powered by a USB-C charger, taking just three hours to fully charge, which provides a usage time of 15 hours. The dimensions of the glasses are 155.5 x 163.44 x 42.5 mm (6.1 x 6.4 x 1.7 inches) and they weigh 31 grams (1.1 ounces), representing a 40% lighter design compared to the first version.
The outer frame adds an additional 15 grams (0.5 ounce) and can be customized with blue-light blocking, polarized, or other types of lenses. However, it’s not necessary to have the outer frame for the glasses to function properly.
Company Background
ViXion emerged as a separate entity from HOYA, a significant player in the optical lens industry, back in 2021.
