ThirdEye, a leader in augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) enterprise solutions, today announces a new partnership with NuEyes, a pioneer in the field of low-vision technology. With this partnership, NuEyes is introducing the Pro 2, which uses ThirdEye’s lightweight X2 MR (mixed-reality) Glasses to assist people with vision loss.

By running NuEyes’ patented software on the X2 MR Glasses, people with visual impairments that cannot be cured by surgery or use conventional glasses, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa, can now use the latest in augmented reality smart glasses technology to improve their daily lives. The X2 MR Glasses combined with NuEyes’ software provides a simple user experience with built-in voice controls being a central part of the interface. Wearers can use voice commands to magnify objects near and far, change contrast, and have optical character recognition.
