A survey conducted by optometrists on consumers in Germany and the United States showed that about 83% of glasses wearers have a similar habit of driving. Of these figures, 72% even hope to have a pair of driving glasses. Perhaps, to provide a solution to this rising demand, the Turok Steinhardt Driving Glass has been launched on Xiaomi’s Youpin platform. The eyeglasses are basically for driving but it looks like a cool fashion item. It combines lens design and lens coating to provide driver assistance in poor visibility.

In order to increase the comfortability, the TS driving glass is specially designed with new technological features such as adjustable nose pads and adjustable temples to make it more comfortable to wear. It incorporates the Turok Steinhardt pupil sensitization balance technology to balance or compensate for a certain degree of nighttime pupil dilation, shallow depth of field, and its negative impact on achieving a clear vision of the front scene. Car headlights, street lights, and glare from watery surfaces can threaten drivers’ safe driving due to glares. The TS driving glass comes with drilled cubic aurora film that can reduce glare by up to 64% thus reducing driving time when road conditions, weather and lighting conditions are poor. 

In addition, the TS driving progressive film can increase the maximum viewing range by 43% compared with the similar progressive film, and the long-distance viewing area can increase by up to 14%, which makes it easier for the wearer to grasp the detailed road information.

Xiaomi yesterday posted a poster on Weibo which announces an upcoming launch event under its crowdfunding platform. From the look of things, the phone is related to an earlier product which was launched last month, talking about the Turok Steinhardt sunglasses.

From the content of the poster, the product would be launched on Thursday, March 23 at 10 AM. Even though the upcoming product’s name is usually not included on the launch invite, the posters usually contain a tip or two which would give us an idea of what the upcoming product is. In this case, the product is likely an optical product considering the presence of a refractive glass prism on the poster.

We really don’t think this would be another sunglasses but it could be an optical product for other purposes. A glass prism separates light into its seven component colors of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, blue, indigo and violet using their different refractive indexes. This theory comes in useful in a polaroid system, so may be this could be a polaroid sunglasses. A polaroid sunglasses help reduce glare from a long, flat surface such as the hood of the car or the road’s surface, water surface or any surface with a reflective property.

We are not so sure about that, though, so we’ll wait till when the product is official to find out what it is.
