Prescription glasses
have never been
so smart

AN OPHTHALMIC wearable LIKE YOU’VE NEVER EXPERIENCED IT BEFORE

By executing an optics-driven technology roadmap, tooz leads the evolution from prescription glasses to ophthalmic wearables. With ESSNZ Berlin, tooz unveils the first pair of prescription glasses with augmentation for all-day use: lightweight, 15° field of view, foldable, with full-day battery life, integrated AI headset and wireless connectivity.

The launch of this reference design highlights tooz’ readiness, knowledge and expertise in providing turnkey solutions with vision correction for the end consumer. With existing and validated smart glasses like ESSNZ Berlin, tooz enables corporates to enter the high-end wearable market within no time and under their own strong brand.

augmentation, prescription, voice assistant

Three tooz Smart Glasses functionalities that enhance life:

  1. Connected via Bluetooth to a phone, the tooz Smart Glasses discreetly display information in the wearers field of view, allowing to stay up to date at all times.
  2. As with regular eyeglasses, the monocular optical system consists of a curved corrective lens that allows seamless integration of individual vision correction.
  3. Microphones and speaker in the glasses frame enable additional headset functionality for activating the voice assistant, taking calls and listening to music.

Smart glasses like you’ve never experienced them before

tooz lens for vision correction and augmentation

A curved lens is key for the integration of prescription.

The optics with tooz ARC technology not only provides augmentation, but also fulfils the requirement of vision correction. The curved, ophthalmic lens is comprised of the waveguide, incoupling surface and the prescription layer in one monolithic piece. There is no need for further optical elements or attachments.

With the standard process of backside surfacing, the individual prescription of end consumers can be integrated easily in every Rx lab around the world according to international ophthalmic standards.

tooz TRUFOLD Technology with built-in on/off switch

Folding smart glasses and storing them in a space-saving way is not yet a matter of course.

With tooz TRUFOLD technology – thanks to our slim optics design – it is finally possible to fold the temples of your smart glasses just like normal glasses.

The integrated on/off hinge is an additional feature to help save battery life when the glasses are not in use.

tooz frame with SWAP Technology enables different lens options

With tooz SWAP technology, it becomes possible to swap the lenses of the glasses independently.

This allows the end customer or optician to easily swap lenses at home or at the point of sale, due to a future change in diopter or to exchange them for a fashionable tinted or mirrored lens style.

A normal form factor with the tooz SUVO Technology

Smart glasses are full of tech.

However, this also means that additional volume is required to accommodate all technical components and the optical engine. This often leads to restrictions in the wearer’s view on the left and right.

With the tooz SUVO technology, a normal form factor can finally be met — enabling an unrestricted view of the wearer’s surroundings.

Smart glasses with all-day battery life

The latest microLED display in combination with our tooz optical engine makes the wearable energy-efficient and suitable for all-day use.
Finally – smart glasses you can wear all day, every day.
