Technology Overview
We have partnered with Standard Cyborg, a San Francisco-based technology company, that has developed revolutionary technology to scan and analyze an individual’s anatomy to develop and design custom prosthetics. They have developed custom software for Loving Eyes Foundation which utilizes the depth sensing camera on the iPhone to capture color and depth data, then algorithmically weld the images together to create a highly accurate 3D model. Machine learning models classify, segment, and landmark the face, automatically generating a series of useful measurements that we use to parametrically resize the components of the glasses to make a fully customized shape.
OUR TECHNICAL PROCESS
HOW WE BEGAN
Our idea began with utilizing prior CT scans to create a 3D model of a child’s head capturing their unique facial features. Our design engineer manually created an individualized design for their custom-print glasses. When the design was completed, it was sent to a commercial 3D printing company to provide a high-quality, durable product that can withstand the daily life of a young child.
WITH YOUR continued SUPPORT
In partnership with Standard Cyborg, a San Francisco based prosthetics company, we have developed an application that incorporates our cell phone’s true depth camera to provide advanced 3D scanning and automation technology that revolutionizes our process. The iPhone application allows our team to train various ophthalmologists around the country to scan children who would benefit from our foundation. The scans are sent straight to our design engineer, followed by our 3D printing partners, and shipped directly to the necessary doctor’s office.
With this technology, we can serve children wherever an ophthalmologist has an iPhone.
Our goal is to serve more children, in a shorter amount of time.
“Our vision is to provide clear vision for any kid, any where.”
