Glasses that automatically adjust the color of the lens based on the ambient light level are not new. However, most users may have noticed that the color-changing lenses that have just turned into sunglasses in the sunlight must wait a long time before returning to the interior to be transparent, seriously affecting normal wear and user experience. Now, a company from the United States has invented a new type of color-changing glasses that may improve this situation.
Unlike traditional lenses that rely on silver halides and other light-sensitive materials to exhibit different molecular structures under different light conditions, the new color-changing glasses called CTRL XC rely on e-Tint liquid crystal discoloration technology, driven by electric power and photosensitive elements. The discoloration is completed in a flash. It is said that the glasses can complete the process of color change in tenths of a second. It is called "the fastest color changing glasses in the world".
CTRL XC currently has two manual and automatic modes of operation. In manual mode, users can switch lens colors in one click. Of course, most users will choose automatic mode, and then focus on what they do.
Although CTRL XC needs to rely on electricity, but fortunately it has a strong endurance, it can be used for up to 70 hours in just one hour of charging. In addition, CTRL XC only has a weight of 45g and a lens thickness of 2.1mm. The lightweight and portable body is also very suitable for outdoor sports.
Although the price is as high as 175 US dollars, CTRL XC still received more than expected support on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo. Friends interested in it may wish to go to the relevant page for more details.
