Key highlights include:
- The Power Shift: How tech giants like Meta, Google and Apple are defining the smart glass narrative and why the vision industry needs to move from being “accidental technologists” to active leaders.
- Beyond Lenses: A look at the “vision operating layer” and how hardware, services and applications like embedded sensors can transform patient monitoring and care.
- Lessons from the Past: Why the industry must avoid the “Blackberry trap” by embracing the social and technological trends driving younger generations.
- Future Applications: Exploring provocative possibilities, from AR-enhanced shopping to medical monitoring that identifies early signs of neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s through eye movement.
