Revolutionizing AR with Pupillary Distance Measurement
Banuba has launched an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) feature that measures pupillary distance (PD) with remarkable precision. This revolutionary capability is part of Banuba’s Face AR Software Development Kit (SDK).
Banuba, renowned for its advanced AI solutions, emphasizes that the new PD measurement tool can accurately determine the distance between a user’s pupils. This capability is set to enhance both medical diagnostics and virtual eyewear try-ons.
Empowering Users Through Technology
Artem Harytonau, CTO at Banuba, stated that this feature not only enriches virtual try-on experiences but also supports critical medical applications, enabling users to better manage their eye health.
Banuba has established itself as a trailblazer in face tracking, virtual try-on, and virtual background technologies. The company provides SDKs for AR and video editing, alongside integrated solutions for face, hair, and hand try-ons.
User-Friendly PD Measurement without Special Devices
What sets Banuba’s PD measurement apart is its usability; it does not require any special equipment or reference items like credit cards within the frame. This design choice makes it safer and more accessible for widespread use.
Pupillary distance is vital in optometry for ensuring prescription eyewear fits correctly, thereby improving visual comfort and clarity. Banuba’s feature simplifies the process of obtaining accurate PD data, facilitating easier online eyewear purchases and consultations with eye care professionals.
Additional Features and Real-World Applications
Beyond PD measurement, Banuba’s Face AR SDK also includes a tool for measuring the distance between the camera and the face. This tool has been successfully used by Eyebou, an eye care provider, in collaboration with UNICEF to diagnose vision issues in over 10,000 orphans.
Future of AR Smart Glasses
In related news, Meta’s CTO has confirmed a strong commitment to AR smart glasses, which are expected to revolutionize the mainstream market with new use cases as the AR industry continues to evolve. Meta’s upcoming AR product announcements are highly anticipated and expected to make a significant impact on the future of VR and MR.
