Ocutrx Technologies has released its OcuLenz augmented reality/extended reality headset, which is designed to enhance visual clarity for people with advanced macular degeneration.
According to a company press release, the headset uses advanced pixel manipulation software to process real-world images and recreate them as an augmented reality display onto the user’s remaining good vision. OcuLenz compensates for central vision loss, characteristic of advanced macular degeneration, by shifting pixels to the user’s peripheral vision.
“Having personally witnessed the profound effects of visual impairment within my own family, the inception of OcuLenz extends beyond technological innovation,” Mitchael Freeman, co-founder, CEO and chief technology officer at Oxutrx, said in the release. “It’s a portal to a more vivid and fuller life for many. Our device isn’t merely an advancement in augmented reality tech; it’s a substantial stride towards improving life’s quality.”
The wearable device is designed to be lightweight and user-friendly, the company stated, and has both Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.
Ocutrx plans the commercial release of OcuLenz in the first half of 2024.
