Fifteen years ago, we were a team of Oxford scientists. Inspired by the science of sight, we developed dynamic lenses that change focus just like the human eye. Today, we are partnered with some of the world’s leading augmented reality, technology and optical companies, helping them change the way we see – allowing our vision to work naturally in virtual worlds, in mixed realities and in the real world too.
While sometimes human progress will rely on new software, smaller hardware or more processing power, we believe that to make a real step change you have to combine these advances with the science of the things that make us human. If we can do just that, after 700 years, we believe there will be a revolution in sight.
