In 2016 OXSIGHT was established to develop this knowledge into innovative solutions for sight degeneration that have a perfect balance of style, functionality and intuitive technology. OXSIGHT worked closely with the low-vision community, undertaking research to understand how the brain manages visual information. We gained international recognition for our ground-breaking work. OXSIGHT was recognised as an minicorn (future unicorn) by Tracnx and 'top emerging start-up' in the wearable category. Onyx our second generation product has already generated significant interest and has been covered by a number of print and digital media articles https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-rare-sight-condition-see-19153958#r3z-addoorWe have built a team of scientists and clinicians that combine a deep understanding of neuroscience, ophthalmology, computer vision and machine learning. They are constantly looking at new ideas and researching ways to improve the lives of people with visual impairment. We have worked in partnership with leading global players from both the sight impaired community and the technology sector, including Google, RNIB, Guide Dogs Association, The University of Oxford, NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i), and The Royal Academy of Engineering.We are developing smart-glasses that allow people who are visually impaired but have some residual vision to make better use of what sight they do have. After years of R&D, iterations and prototypes we have currently three products:• Prism & Crystal-1, designed for peripheral vision loss (tunnel vision), which people with Glaucoma and Retinitis Pigmentosa typically suffer from. Crystal provides a magnetically attachable set of shades to block or reduce ambient light to make the transparent display easier to see.• Onyx, which targets people living with central vision loss (blind spot) conditions such as Age Related Macular Degeneration, will be released in 2021.Crystal-2Our third-generation product Crystal-2 is highly innovative and a game changer. Crystal-2 will not only have better displays and camera but will be driven by our next-generation machine vision platform offering remote visual data processing protocol allowing off-loading of power hungry operations to a server/cloud thereby enhancing the functionality, form factor, elegance and comfort of our smart glasses - vital for increased adoption across industry sectors.

OXSIGHT于2016年成立，旨在将这些知识发展成针对视力退化的创新解决方案，具有风格、功能和直观技术的完美平衡。OXSIGHT与低视力社区密切合作，开展研究以了解大脑如何管理视觉信息。我们的开创性工作获得了国际认可。OXSIGHT被Tracnx评为微角兽(未来的独角兽)，并被评为可穿戴设备类别中的最佳新兴初创公司。我们的第二代产品已经引起了人们的极大兴趣，并被许多平面和数字媒体文章所覆盖。https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-rare-sight-condition-see-19153958#r3z-addoorWe建立了一支科学家和临床医生团队，他们结合了对神经科学、眼科、计算机视觉和机器学习的深刻理解。他们不断寻找新的想法和研究方法，以改善视力障碍者的生活。我们与来自视障社区和科技行业的领先全球参与者合作，包括谷歌、RNIB、导盲犬协会、牛津大学、NIHR创新发明(I4i)和皇家工程院。我们正在开发智能眼镜，允许视力受损但有一些残余视力的人更好地利用他们所拥有的视力。经过多年的研发、迭代和原型，我们目前拥有三款产品：·Prism&Crystal-1，专为青光眼和视网膜色素变性患者常见的周边视力丧失(隧道视力)而设计。Crystal提供了一套磁性可连接的色调，以阻挡或减少环境光，使透明显示屏更容易看到。·Onyx，目标是患有中央视力丧失(盲点)的人，如老年性黄斑变性，将于2021年发布。Crystal-2我们的第三代产品Crystal-2非常创新，是游戏规则的改变者。Crystal-2将不仅拥有更好的显示器和摄像头，而且将由我们的下一代机器视觉平台驱动，该平台提供远程视觉数据处理协议，允许将耗电的操作卸载到服务器/云，从而增强我们智能眼镜的功能、外形因素、优雅和舒适性-这对于增加行业的采用率至关重要。
