SYSTEM COMPRISING A HEAD-WORN DEVICE AND A HAND-HELD DEVICE AND CONFIGURED TO DETECT A USE OF THE HAND-HELD DEVICE BY A USER WEARING THE HEAD-WORN DEVICE
A system and computer-implemented method for detecting a use of a hand-held device by a user wearing a head-worn device, the system comprises a head-worn device and a hand-held device. The system is configured to detect a use of the hand-held device by a user wearing the head-worn device. The system is also configured to determine a relative motion of one among the head-worn device and the hand-held device with respect to another among the head-worn device and the hand-held device and to detect, based on the relative motion, the use of the hand-held device by the user.
The invention relates to ophthalmic set for myopia progression control of a user, which comprises: - spectral filtering means being configured to selectively emit light in at least one selected range of wavelengths within the visible spectrum of 600 nm to 750 nm when excited by ambient light, allowing retinal exposure of the user myopic eye to said at least one selected range of wavelengths of light, whereby the spectral filtering means are efficient for slowing-down a myopia progression of the user; - wavefront modifying means adapted to modify wavefronts of the light that enters the user eye for slowing down the myopia progression of the user eye.
A lens element intended to be worn in front of an eye of a wearer having a prescription portion configured to provide to the wearer in standard wearing conditions a first optical function based on the prescription of the wearer for correcting an abnormal refraction of said eye of the wearer, and a plurality of contiguous optical elements, wherein each optical element has a simultaneously bifocal optical function that provides simultaneously: a second optical function in standard wearing conditions and a third optical function of not focusing an image on the retina of the eye in said standard wearing conditions so as to slow down the progression of the abnormal refraction of the eye.
A method manufacturing an optical article, the method comprising: - providing a base substrate (10) comprising at least one optical surface (12a) and placing the base substrate (10) in a printing assembly (20), - providing a pattern (24, 26) to be printed on the base substrate (10) and determining a printing dot diameter for printing the pattern, - determining (200) a desired surface amount of primer to be deposited, based on the determined printing dot diameter, - depositing (300) a primer layer (30) by depositing a primer with the determined desired surface amount on at least part of the at least one optical surface (12a), - printing the pattern (24, 26) over the primer layer (30) with at least one inkjet printing head (22) depositing at least one dye (34), - placing the base substrate (10) in a heating assembly (40) for a predetermined migration duration, and - removing the primer layer (30).
