New Wearable Assistive Technology for People with Low Vision

New Scale’s small, precise and smart M3-F focus module enables precision lens focus in eSight Corp’s light-weight wearable vision enhancement system

New Scale Technologies of Victor, NY has announced that its miniature M3-F focus module is a key component in the innovative new eSight eyewear, a new class of wearable, electronic assistive technology launched in 2012 by eSight Corp. of Ottawa, ON, Canada.

The eSight eyewear incorporates a high-resolution video camera and a high-contrast display for each eye, and is customized to enhance the remaining vision of individuals with conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and more. New Scale’s M3-F focus module enables precision focus of the camera lens, driven by eSight’s focus algorithms.

“We chose the M3-F focus module for its small size, high precision and low power requirements,” said Rob Hilkes, VP Product Management at eSight Corp. “As a complete motion module it was easy to integrate into our system, and helped us meet our targets for high performance, low weight and long battery life.”

  

New Scale’s precision M3-F focus module is small enough to use in wearable assistive devices such as eSight eyewear.
