)--Linking the forefront of technology, serving business innovationNews on May 30: tooz, an AR glasses brand under Carl Zeiss, released a new reference design for AR glasses: ESSNZ SLIM. This design is based on free-form waveguides, featuring a lightweight (weighing less than 40g), ergonomic, stylish appearance and support for custom prescription lenses, claiming to meet the needs of consumers for daily use.
Tooz CEO Dr. Kai Stroeder stated: The purpose of launching ESSNZ SLIM is to validate that AR glasses can both feature a consumer-friendly appearance and support medical-grade vision correction and AR capabilities, thereby transforming existing smart prescription glasses.
According to Qingting Network, the characteristic of tooz optical technology is based on the ARC solution. It claims to be the only curved light guide on the market that supports customized diopter adjustment, mainly composed of a light guide, coupling surface, and prescription lens layer. In addition, the design of the frame makes lens replacement easier, allowing for the swapping of customized prescription lenses or colored lenses. This process is expected to be achievable in ordinary eyeglass stores in the future.
In recent years, tooz has showcased various lightweight AR glasses reference designs multiple times, such as the ESSNZ Berlin at AWE 2022. Up next, at AWE 2023, the company will present the ESSNZ SLIM, which features more optimized functions and a slimmer design than Berlin. tooz will also offer on-site customization experiences for AR prescription glasses to demonstrate the integration of AR displays with corrective lenses, as well as the streamlined process.
