Japanese manufacturer Kyodo has introduced the Myofree, an eye-care tablet developed using research in brain science and ophthalmology. The company calls it the world’s first tablet of its kind, with a viewing system that is supposed to reduce eye strain during extended screen use.
How the Myofree eye-care tablet works
The Myofree uses Kyodo’s own parallel view image generation technology. You wear a pair of dedicated glasses and sit around 40cm away from the screen. The system is designed to make your eyes adopt a parallel viewing position, similar to looking at an object about 5 meters away. Kyodo says this viewing method can reduce the strain associated with looking at a screen for long periods.
The glasses are an essential part of the system. Kyodo offers three versions of its circularly polarized glasses: a standard pair for everyday use, a clip-on version that attaches to existing prescription glasses, and a smaller pair made for children.
Circular polarization has also appeared in other eye-care displays. TCL’s NXTPAPER 14 Pro featured a circularly polarized panel and received a Best of CES 2024 award. Kyodo takes a different route with the Myofree, relying on dedicated glasses to create its parallel-view effect.
As for the tablet itself, it has a 15.6-inch Full HD display and runs Android 16. Kyodo says users can watch videos, browse the web, play games, work, and study on it. Connectivity includes USB Type-C and HDMI ports, with both supporting input and output.
Kyodo has not revealed the Myofree’s price or shipping schedule yet. Pre-orders begin on November 18 through Makuake, where the company is expected to share more details about pricing and availability.
