Allison interviews Takuya Nonaka from ViXion about their autofocus eyewear called ViXion01. ViXion01 is pair of glasses that measures the distance of what you are looking at with a sensor and automatically changes the shape of the lens to provide a focused image to your eyes. It instantly autofocuses to shift focus between near and far objects. ViXion01 is lightweight at about 50g and can be worn like a regular pair of glasses for long periods. It can be adjusted and customized to suit your changing eye conditions over time. You can use ViXion01 continuously for 10 hours before needing a recharge. ViXion01 can be configured via a physical dial or a mobile app to personalize calibration for crisp vision. ViXion01 is available for preorder at the link below.

Hurry up with version 2! 🙂
