Adjustable Spectral Transmittance Eyewear

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to eyewear having an electrically switchable spectral transmittance lens(es). The eyewear includes a lens driver that controls the variable spectral transmittance lens(es). The lens driver is functional to alter a duration of a spectral transmittance state based on a desired frequency and/or duty cycle of the spectral transmittance state. A user may provide an input indicating the desired level of difficulty provided by the eyewear, wherein the input may indicate that the frequency, the duty cycle, or a combination of the two should be changed. As a result of changing a perceived level of difficulty presented by the eyewear, a wearer of the eyewear may train his or her visual abilities to provide a competitive advantage. The input may be received at a receiving module as a remote signal from the user or a third party.

主权项

1. Curved eyewear, comprising:
a lens comprised of a central field-of view portion and a peripheral field-of-view portion, the curved lens having an electrically variable spectral transmittance in the central field-of-view portion and the peripheral field-of-view portion; a lens control system comprising at least a memory, and a driver associated with the curved eyewear that controls the electrically variable spectral transmittance of the curved lens; a frame configured to retain the curved lens relative to a face of a wearer; and a receiving module capable of receiving at least one remote signal for adjustment of the electrically variable spectral transmittance.
