Second Sight is a revolutionary visionary system that offers a multitude of sight enhancement features through a user-friendly interface. Our AVS (advanced vision system) uses robotic technology to enhance normal vision to an elevated state. Our system is comprised of three main components; the smart lens, the earpiece and the Brain-Interface band. Our revolutionary system offers a myriad of options and programs to enhance everyday vision. The smart lens is a tiny display controlled by the user's brain. The lens is a display for a wide range of applications as well as basic everyday comforts. This unique lens magnifies up to 15x the normal power of the human eye, can show directions through an integrated GPS, can record video, and can also be voice controlled. The voice activated earpiece serves as a central hub housing information as well as transmitting it. The earpiece also primarily powers the system. The brain interface band uses EEG technology to allow the user to control an on-lens pointer.

Powering the System
The earpiece is the main power hub for all three components. It holds a re-chargeable battery with a long lasting charge. The earpiece can be charged over night, or whenever it is not being worn. The earpiece is able to power both the smart contact lens and the brain interface band through wireless electricity. This feat is achieved by using three electromagnetic resonators each of which is a self-resonant system formed from copper. One resonator is attached to the sending source (the earpiece) and the other two are attached to the smart lens as well as the brain interface band. The sending unit then fills the space around the lens, band, and earpiece with a non-radiative magnetic field that oscillates at MHz frequencies. The non-radiative field acts as a mediator between the power exchange and the other coils (the receiving units), which is specifically designed to resonate with the magnetic field. The resonance system ensures a strong interaction between the sending unit and the receiving unit, while the interaction with the rest of the environment is weak. Magnetic fields interact imperceptibly with biological organisms as well as common materials so the system ensures power without putting the user at any risk or discomfort (web.mit.edu ; popsci.com). Additionally, the brain-interface band is covered in flexible solar cells if supplemental power is needed by the system. During inactivity, the solar cells work to recharge the earpiece battery. 

The Smart Lens
Our AVS Smart Lens is a contact lens that displays information passed to it through the brain interface band and the earpiece. The lens uses a combination of LED’s, a microprocessor and a patented Second Sight operating system as well as various applications stored in the earpiece, to perform a multitude of vision enhancement tasks. Through this user-friendly vision enhancement display; users are able to see the world in a new light with everything they need right in front of them. Due to the revolutionary micro-display, the lens is able to fit right over the pupil, providing a heads up display while still maintaining the look of a normal eye to the outside world. The lens is extremely durable as well as comfortable so the user will have the utmost comfort while using our system. Its small construction houses copper wiring which act as the resonator for the power source as well as transmit data and power to the display. The lens is water resistant, and it can be cleaned with our official Second Sight cleaning solution. It is a non-conductive solution that makes sure your AVS lens provides clear vision as well as performs flawlessly. 

The Earpiece
The discreet earpiece serves as a central hub for the entire system. It powers the system, as well as holds all the information in its 100GB hard drive. The structure of the earpiece is extremely discreet and fashionable. It is no bigger than a pen cap, and resembles any Bluetooth headset for a cellular device. The unique ear bud contours to the user’s ear to ensure maximum comfort. The whisper soft microphone lets the entire system be voice activated from basic heads up display commands, to entire emails being written by speech. The earpiece also comes with a powerful tool that converts 32 languages into subtitles on your AVS smart lens display. The earpiece houses a rechargeable battery that fully charges in 3 hours and holds charge for up to 16 hours.

The Brain Interface Band
The unique Brain Interface Band uses EEG technology to translate brain waves into commands for our AVS operating system. The Brain Interface Band reacts to brain waves emitted by the user, and transmits it into commands to be carried out by the earpiece and the smart lens. The Brain Interface Band allows for complete freedom for the user. Within the applications provided, if you can think it, our AVS can do it (www.lce.hut.fi).

-------------------SYSTEM FEATURES--------------

Isolate and Magnify
All standard lens or eyewear-based AVS systems come with the Isolate and Magnify feature. Seeing clearly details of objects very far away or focusing closer on the macro level is made easy with this application. Reading from afar or even viewing unclear or blurry objects are tasks the user can carry out with ease. This feature is employed by the 15x zoom and an advanced focus setting that delivers digital clarity of the image being viewed.

GPS
The GPS feature packaged with the Second Sight device is extremely user-friendly. If the user is ever lost, he or she can receive pinpoint details and coordinates of their location. What is groundbreaking about this feature is that, while not only highly accurate, it has the ability to track and record the user’s path and geo-locate any media recorded by the user. When traveling, the user must only specify to the device where he or she would like to go and Second Sight immediately provides direction and distance.

Record
The Second Sight device includes a handy record feature built into the OS which is able to capture and save what you hear and what you see, in the form of a still image, video or mp3 audio. This state of the art technology employs an 8.1 megapixel camera, a four 90 degree microphone setup which is able to capture audio from all sides of the user and a 15x digital zoom feature. The recordings are stored in the earpiece as they are captured and are then available to send to Second Sight online storage, used via email, or even transmitted directly to another Second Sight user. What tops the experience is the powerful audio, image and video editor that can be launched straight from the lens.

Voice Control
The discreet earpiece not only serves as a transmitter to the lens but also has the capability of recognizing the user's inputs and voice specifically. Second Sight Voice Control goes well beyond most modern speech recognition software. The standard Voice Control application translates 32 languages into on-lens subtitles for instant conversation translation. It also “learns” the user’s voice and will only allow system activation and application sensitive commands to be issued by its primary user.

Internet
Second Sight’s AVS includes Internet connectivity which is able to operate on wi-fi, Bluetooth or cellular towers. When in wi-fi mode, Second Sight is able to automatically connect to unsecured networks or prompt the user for a WEP key. The wi-fi operates on 801 and 802.11 G signals. Cellular signals require a service provider yet speed is just as fast as wi-fi; Bluetooth is also very convenient for file transfer and data sharing.
Internet applications launch directly on the lens or eyewear with opacity, scale and position easily adjusted via voice command.

Upgradeable and Open Source
What further enhances the wearer's experience is Second Sight's ability to download firmware updates. Although still being tested and developed, our team is hard at work trying to deliver new additions such as night vision, thermal vision and many other intuitive features. Second Sight also has a thriving open source community creating new customized and free lens apps everyday.
