The products combine sensors, miniaturized electronics, and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) to increase comfort and safety in glare conditions.
Dynamic Eye’s sunglasses offer active glare control that is completely unlike and superior to today’s passive technologies, and let you see what you want to see. One product adds to normal sunglasses a darkened spot on each lens between each glare source and the user’s pupil, thereby shading the pupils from 99% of the glare.
As you probably noticed, I haven't posted here in several years. I was unable to raise the funds needed to further develop the product, so Dynamic Eye has been closed down. However, I was approached last year by a company quite interested in pursuing it with my help (and with my patent), so all may not be lost.

As you can tell, I'm not sure how to treat this page. However, the glare problem I'm trying to solve came home in a VERY personal way last Friday, and it's worth sharing. I was biking home, as I usually do, and waiting at the exit from the parking lot for traffic in front to clear. It was a terrible glare situation, with the sun directly in front of us at 5:50 pm, so a bit less than an hour before sunset. It was hard to see, and I was in the exit lane of the parking lot with my feet on the ground. The car in front of me had mostly turned out, but was waiting for traffic ahead of it to clear.
I got rear-ended.
The driver was a young lady who was profusely apologetic and who swore she could not see me at all. I'm not surprised. But I actually feel fortunate. I escaped with a bruise.
Luckily, she wasn't going fast, and only caused minor damage to the bicycle. Luckily, my bicycle has a ride-along attachment that absorbed most of the blow, or else my bike seat would have been driven straight into my spine much harder than it was. And most luckily of all, my son was not on the bike with me, because the front of the car wound up where he would have been. It would have been a trip to the hospital for sure.
This is exactly the kind of accident my sunglasses are meant to prevent. This is exactly why they are needed.

The CNN Interview went quite well. The anchor, Randi Kaye, does a great job of describing the problems that we are seeking to solve. Here's a link to the video: http://www.cnn.com/video/ #/video/tech/2011/06/08/nr.kaye.no.glare.shades.cnn
Video: No glare with these shades New sunglass technology keeps the glare from blinding you. CNN's Randi Kaye talks to its inventor.
Just got asked to appear on CNN's segment "The Big I" tomorrow (June 8, 2011) at 1:45 pm Eastern Time. The segment is about innovation, and they liked what they saw in the Popular Science article.
