VXP Polarization Technology

The VIOSENSE lens technology occupies a unique position in the market of color blindness-assistive eyewear as the only solution to use wavelength-selective polarization.

Unlike other types of color blind glasses that remove wavelengths of light using dyes, distorting color and darkening your view, the VXP Polarized lenses leverage properties of polarized light emitted by digital displays to create a differential signal between the eyes, giving rise to an extra dimension of color perception.

The result is a color enhancement effect that has universal compatibility across the majority of types of color blindness and display technology.

Expanding Color with Binocular Rivalry

The story of VIOSENSE originates with an idea from over 100 years ago, with the first ever proposal for color blind glasses.

James Clerk Maxwell, the father of modern optical physics, was also a pioneer in the area of color vision science. In his treatise on color vision dating to 1855, Maxwell theorized that a pair of glasses equipped with two lenses of opposing color tints, a person with color blindness could gain an added sensory dimension of color due to the phenomenon of binocular rivalry. However, the concept has remained elusive due to the difficulty in using such a device in practical conditions.

How VIOSENSE Lenses Work

VIOSENSE eyewear were born out of an "ah-ha" moment: while experimenting with a new type of wavelength-selective polarization filter, we realized that the phenomenon of binocular rivalry could be induced by the orientation of the lens, rather than its base color - enabling a new type of color blind glasses specifically for use with digital screens that emit polarized light.

By orienting the axis of each lens independently, VIOSENSE eyewear cause the right and left eyes to receive differential color information, resulting in the an extrasensory chromatic signal that reveals an added layer of visual information. The effect enables a person with color blindness to quickly and accurately located previously hidden or confusing colors, while also enhancing the sensation of depth and motion in immersive visualizations such as gaming.

Universal Compatibility for Color Vision Deficiencies

Unlike other color blind glasses that shift the hue of colors and/or enhance color saturation requiring a functional color vision (also called anomalous trichromacy) to see the effect, VIOSENSE glasses use depth perception to convey an added dimension of color-derived information, enabling the glasses to work for persons with severe forms of color blindness such as deuteranopia and protanopia which are not addressed by other solutions.
