PA Consulting at Melbourn has helped start-up Inoptec launch a new concept in electronic glasses.
Reduces the glare of oncoming headlights at night, whilst retaining otherwise clear vision.
Glasses use electronically controlled liquid crystal technology to automatically balance light levels.
Blocking unwanted oncoming glare from other vehicles or lights.
Improve drivers’ vision without interference from the sudden darkness of a tunnel or the glare of oncoming headlights.
“Benefits of these glasses can be applied to sports, automotive, aviation and medicine," - Charley Henderson, PA Consulting tech expert.
PA team worked with Inoptec to design and build a complete working demonstration system for the technology.
Retrofitted off the shelf frames with innovative liquid crystal filters which synchronise to the user’s own light source.
Glasses were demonstrated for the first time at the recent New Scientist technology show in London.
