The editor of Downcodes learned that smart wearable device company Gyges Labs recently announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan in Pre-A round of financing, with a strong lineup of investors, including Jinshajiang Venture Capital, Shaoyin founder Chen Hao and NYX Ventures. This company, founded in 2022, was founded by Stanford Ph.D. Jia Jieyang. It is committed to the perfect combination of optics and AI technology, aiming to develop the next generation of smart glasses and wearable devices to bring users a more convenient and smarter life. experience. Its core technology, DigiWindow, has attracted much attention and has made significant breakthroughs in lightweight design and visual effect improvement.
DigiWindow, the core technology of Gyges Labs, significantly reduces the size of optical modules from centimeter level to millimeter level, achieving lightweight design of smart glasses while getting rid of the light leakage and rainbow pattern problems of traditional optical components. This technology supports ordinary vision lenses, can meet the needs of myopia and hyperopia users without customization, and ensures visual effects and privacy security.
Currently, DigiWindow technology has been applied to the first AI smart glasses jointly created by Gyges Labs and moody. The product will be officially released at the CES exhibition in January 2025.
