Shamir Insight Launches 'Driver Intelligence' Lens Technology
Shamir Insight announced the launch of Driver Intelligence, a lens technology designed to optimize visual performance and deliver superior clarity for drivers any time of the day, enabling safer driving.
Shamir Insight worked closely with the Renault Group’s BWT Alpine F1 Team, to develop and test this optical technology on the race track. Additionally, the lens was created using multiple technologies including artificial intelligence, eye tracking, and analytics. According to Shamir, Driver Intelligence’s benefits include:
- 16% reduction in visual information processing effort compared to regular lenses
- 33% wider horizontal visual field and 18% longer vertical visual field
- 15% faster reaction time at night time and 11% faster reaction time in the day time
- Improved nighttime vision using myopic shift compensation and low-reflection coating
“We are confident that Driver Intelligence will greatly improve the driving experience by delivering the clearest, sharpest vision,” Phillip Pasit, Vice President of Marketing, Shamir, said in a company news release. “This state-of-the art lens will help manage light reflections, lessen the sensation of double images, reduce glare and lower visual noise.”
Driver Intelligence comes in a package of two lens models: ‘Sun’ for daytime and ‘Moon’ for lowlight/night time driving. The visual improvements for both lenses include increased road awareness, lower cognitive load for improved visual processing, and optimal physical comfort enabling less visual strain during driving. Additionally, each lens comes with custom, premium coatings.
The Shamir Glacier Sun coating features vision protection, sun glare reduction, durability, and easy cleaning. The Moon lens features Shamir Glacier Expression, an anti-reflective coating that offers a 25% increase in contrast sensitivity, reduction in visual noise as well as eye fatigue, and improved reaction times.
