IXI的自动对焦眼镜离现实更近一步。
内容总结：
【科技快讯】芬兰初创公司IXI近日宣布，其研发的自动对焦眼镜取得关键进展。通过收购镜片制造商Finnsusp并与OptiSwiss达成长期战略合作，该产品朝量产目标迈出重要一步。
与传统双光或渐进眼镜需移动视线聚焦不同，这款眼镜通过内置眼球追踪技术和液晶镜片，实现"所见即清晰"的自动对焦效果。其外观与普通眼镜无异，比Meta雷朋智能眼镜的更轻薄。首席执行官尼科·艾登透露，设备采用"全球最低功耗眼球追踪技术"，内置微型电池可支撑一天使用，没电时仍可作为远视眼镜使用。
尽管未公布售价与上市时间，但IXI明确将主打已有视力矫正需求的人群。与追求酷炫外观的智能眼镜不同，该产品更注重解决中老年群体日常佩戴的实用性痛点，让眼镜佩戴者"重获年轻视力"成为可能。
目前IXI已启动小规模试产用于内部测试，未来将通过合作伙伴实现大规模量产。这款聚焦实用性的创新产品，或将为全球眼镜市场带来变革。

IXI自动对焦眼镜离现实更近一步
告别双光眼镜吧。
忘掉智能眼镜——自动对焦镜片通过提供笨重双光镜和渐进镜的高科技替代品，有望惠及更广泛的人群。传统解决方案需要依靠镜片特定区域观看远近物体，虽比频繁更换眼镜方便，但仍需重新适应用眼方式，且易导致视觉疲劳。
芬兰初创公司IXI的自动对焦眼镜旨在实现突破：其研发的眼镜内置眼球追踪技术和液晶镜片，能像固定焦距眼镜般自动对焦视线目标。更出色的是，其外观与普通眼镜无异，甚至比Meta厚重的雷朋智能眼镜更显低调。虽然IXI尚未准备好量产硬件，但公司今日宣布通过收购镜片制造商Finnsusp并与OptiSwiss达成"长期战略合作"，朝投产迈出关键一步。
尽管IXI并非唯一研发自动对焦眼镜的企业（我们去年曾在CES报道过ViXion01的《星际迷航》风格眼镜），但其技术最接近日常眼镜形态。这些眼镜虽不如Meta雷朋系列炫酷，也未必彰显高科技感，但内敛的设计反而对年长群体更具吸引力。毕竟不是所有人都想打扮成科技潮人，而能让眼睛重焕青春的理念本身就极具诱惑。
IXI首席执行官兼联合创始人尼科·艾登向Engadget透露，公司研发的"全球最低功耗眼球追踪技术"是实现该产品的核心。微型电池被嵌入纤细镜架中，据称可支撑全天使用。充电方式为将线缆连接镜腿（遗憾的是无法佩戴时充电）。若电量耗尽，眼镜将退化为普通远视镜。
通过收购Finnsusp，IXI将启动小批量试产用于内部测试，与OptiSwiss的合作则助力其拓展大众市场。艾登表示具体价格与上市时间尚未公布，但预计定位"高端眼镜市场"。相比Meta热炒的智能眼镜，IXI更精准瞄准现有眼镜佩戴群体——他们能即刻领悟自动对焦镜片的价值。毕竟，视力衰退是每个人终将面对的课题。

IXI's autofocus glasses are one step closer to reality
So long, bifocals.
Forget smart glasses, autofocus lenses have the potential to help far more people by offering a high-tech alternative to clunky bifocal and varifocal eyewear. Those traditional solutions involve looking at specific portions of glasses for near and far objects. While that's more convenient than swapping frames constantly, it requires retraining your eyes a bit and can also lead to eye strain.
Finnish startup IXI's autofocus glasses aim to go one step further: It has developed eyewear with built-in eye tracking and LCDs that can automatically focus on whatever you're looking at, just like fixed frame glasses. Even better, they look just like regular eyewear, even more-so than Meta's thick-framed Ray-Ban smart glasses. While IXI isn't yet ready to start shipping its hardware yet, the company announced today that it's one step closer to production by acquiring the lens manufacturing company Finnsusp and entering into a "long-term strategic partnership" with OptiSwiss.
While IXI isn't the only company working on autofocus frames -- we covered ViXion01's Star Trek-esque glasses at CES last year -- it's the closest to bringing the technology to normal-looking spectacles. Sure, they're not as flashy as Meta's Ray-Ban lineup, and they don't exactly scream high-tech, but IXI's reserved approach could make its glasses more compelling to older audiences. Not everyone wants to look like a trendy supergeek, after all, but the idea of having glasses that could make your eyes feel decades younger practically is a huge draw.
IXI has developed "the world's lowest power eye-tracking" to make its glasses possible, CEO and co-founder Niko Eiden told Engadget in an interview. The company stuffed tiny batteries into the thin frames of its glasses, which Eiden claims can last for a day of usage. The assumption is that you'll charge them overnight by connecting a cable to their temple area (unfortunately, that also makes them too unwieldy to power up while you're wearing them). If they do completely lose power, they'll function purely as far-sighted spectacles.
With the Finnsusp acquisition, IXI will be able to begin low-volume production of its glasses for in-house testing, while the OptiSwiss partnership will eventually help it to scale for the mass market. Eiden says the company isn’t announcing pricing or availability yet, but he expects it to be in the “high end of existing glasses.” More so than Meta’s hyped-up smart glasses, IXI’s products are targeted at people who are already wearing glasses and who could quickly see the value of in autofocus lenses. Eye degradation comes for us all eventually.
