September 12, 2024 – San Francisco and Cambridge, UK – Phantom Technology, a pioneering developer of consumer-priced AI smart glasses interfacing with Android® and iOS™ mobile devices, today emerged from stealth with its first product offering. The Journey Lens™ smart glasses are the first “invisible technology” consumer-priced AI glasses (prescription and/or shades) fulfilling several important purposes.
These include helping users manage their ability to focus on specific tasks, avoiding digital distractions and getting assistance with anything related to their life through conversational AI or their favorite mobile apps. Even without power, Journey Lens™ operates as a standard pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses, starting at an extremely aggressive price point of just $195 for the frames, launching in Q1 2025 with pre-orders available at launch.
The Journey Lens™ smart glasses utilize a novel biometric sensor technology and unique software algorithms to measure a user’s focus on particular tasks, with the ability to provide both guidance and suggestions to improve productivity, increase relaxation or achieve a user-defined state-of-mind.
Utilizing sensors built into the nose piece of a beautiful panto frame style, eye movements are read and Phantom-designed algorithms can utilize this data to determine user focus and help to achieve the desired outcome.
Journey Lens™ is “invisible technology” that uses Bluetooth to bi-directionally sync data between the glasses and the user’s Android® or iOS™ – this allows the wearer to privately see mobile device alerts and discreetly respond while keeping their device where it belongs in a meeting with friends or family – in your pocket. All as seen through your glasses or discreetly heard via speakers built into the Journey Lens™.
Journey Lens’ modalities include:
- Discovery Lens – discover your world with intelligent clarity all in your immediate vision through the glasses;
- Focus Compass – guide your attention, building healthier habits in the process;
- Smart Companion – get real-time help with your daily tasks through conversational AI;
- Life Journal – Capture thoughts, practice mindfulness, while you record a unique first-person view.
Journey Lens™ also includes a better than HD 2K camera built discreetly into the frame, a privacy-enhanced AI capability (powered by a conversational voice interface) and more – all with a range of low monthly fees ranging from $7 to $18 per month (visit www.phantomtech.io for plan pricing specifics).
The company is currently funded by an $900,000 pre-seed round by SFC Capital, angels and government grant funding – the company is now entering its Seed-level funding round and is in discussions with interested investors.
“After five years of intensive R&D and 3 pivots, we are finally exiting stealth and announcing the fruits of many thousands of man hours of development in both hardware and software – the Journey Lens,” said Farbod Shakouri, CEO and cofounder of Phantom Technology, Ltd. “There have been many previous attempts to combine AR, AI and prescription eyewear over the last few years, all in varying degrees of success and/or failure. We believe the Journey has hit the consumer sweet spot of sub-$200 pricing and solves the problem of digital screen addiction without resorting to unusual form factors or expensive price points – Journey Lens is for tech savvy professionals, at any age, who want a better relationship with technology.”
