81% Informative
Finnish startup IXI is building low-power glasses that will automatically adjust to account for Presbyopia (far-sightedness) for the wearer.
The company has raised a total of $36.5 million from a list of investors including the Amazon Alexa Fund .
It uses eye-tracking and liquid crystal lens technology to make glasses easier for people who carry around multiple pairs of glasses.
IXI, formerly called Pixieray , wants to build eyewear that looks like normal glasses but provides autofocus for the user to see things clearly.
Amazon was quick to invest in the product in part because he already knew Jeff Bezos when he was at one of his previous companies.
