The eyeglasses industry seems ready for disruption, and an increasing number of innovators agree. With no real guidance or sizing, you just keep trying on pairs until you find something that you think is all right. The process is fraught with all the same problems when you buy online. It’s a pretty shoddy experience overall. He points out that the process of fitting glasses has changed very little, despite advances in technology, saying, “You go to some physical space where you have thousands of frames, all arranged in a completely random order. The app integrates with this technology to make 18 key measurements, including elements like ear position, eye spacing and the width of the nasal bridge.Īfter measuring the user’s face, the Speculator analyses the data and determines which frames in Cubitt’s collection will offer the best fit. To find the perfect pair of frames, the app analyses details such as the width of the frames and the face and whether the centre of the lenses will line up with the centre of the pupils. Cubitts claims that the app can scan to “sub-millimetre” accuracy.Īccording to company founder Tom Broughton, the technology is sophisticated enough to be used in-store as well as online. The TrueDepth camera is an important component because it integrates facial recognition technology – capturing precise measurement data about the face using infrared dots. The app combines technology developed in-house at Cubitts with the TrueDepth camera in the iPhone X (and later models).
Try on hundreds of frames in less than a minute from Ray-Ban, Burberry, Oakley, Versace, Maui Jim, and more scaled to fit your face correctly, all from your iPad and iPhone. Their app, The Speculator, shows users exactly what each pair of glasses will look like when worn. With the app for iPad and iPhone, you can virtually try on hundreds of glasses and sunglasses to see how you look from any angle in a photo-realistic 3D image. However, British eyewear brand Cubitts has come up with an answer. Because everyone’s face is shaped differently, just seeing the glasses on a model is not much help. Spotted: One of the problems with shopping for eyeglasses online is that it is very difficult to judge how the new glasses will look on your face.
