A couple of European companies has designed frames for this technology
Companies like Hoya sell glasses.
If this tech is going to work, they expand their business by selling/leasing the scanner, print the frames using 3D printer.
Interesting business case.

Rather, just get only your full face 3D scanned with that scanner from the optician, along with the prescription, as a routine eye checkup and then upload it onto eyeglasses selling websites like Fashion Eyewear, FramesDirect, etc., who will have a full team of designers to make personalised eyewear partnered with top premium eyewear brands manufacturing personalised acetate frames above eye brows (almost all brands will be included😍, as it will be an immense opportunity to scale up their current operations).

The personalised frame should be asymmetrical from the centre of the eye pupils and that which extends above the brow bone, for the cleanest and unobstructive vision from the frame's eye rim when wearing eyeglasses.

So, it won't be just limited to 3D printed eye frames, and there will be plenty of options to choose from, such as selecting eyeframes from different premium brands and lenses.

Eyewear manufacturers will then operate on a direct business-to-customer model in selling personalised eyewear to customers online, if not through exclusive eyewear brand stores.

After the personalised frame has been purchased then the customer visits a lens specialist, like a ZEISS optician, and gets a ZEISS Individual lens fitted as per the frame and face fitting on the ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 Platform and other optical technologies for the clearest and sharpest vision wearing eyeglasses. 🙂

The first post shouted spam to me. I still can't tell if this is for real or if it's an ultra intelligent bot that has learned not to show its cards too soon and leading up to some spammy link.
That 3D face scanner has to be at every practising optician as part of a regular eye check-up.
Who then provides a secure link to the file or the media physically to customers to use on various eyeglass shopping websites. 🙂
 
Also, the secure link of the 3D face scan gets added to the dedicated app of the scanner’s manufacturer.
So, customers create their own login, and the 3D file will be sent to that user by the order placed by the optician.
The customers can then trace which eyeglass websites they have shared their biometrics of their full 3D scanned face with a unique code uploaded on the eyeglasses website that’s retrievable by the same software at the online store’s end.

A very transparent and tracked system would be created in doing so.

Now it’s just that, that 3D face scanner has to be launched by a well-known manufacturer, like ZEISS, to be used by the population and for mass adoption for every practising Optician. 😊

That upcoming Jaguar concept shaped design family electric car doesn’t have a full 180 degrees panoramic driver-side view without the A-pillars for the most clean and unobstructive view. So, I think, it won’t be released soon.

What nonsense is this now!

I can't decide whether the op is a bot, fantasist or just a wind up merchant

Contact lenses obviously don't exist in whatever fantasy land they inhabit

I’m not a bot.

I edited my previous post, it’s got to be the driver side full 180 degrees view without any A-pillars each side.
And to become standard for every other car.
It’s very easy to implement on lorries/trucks with a one piece 180° curved glass panel.

You mean it being like every other car in that respect?

See what Sam says - it'd be a massive compromise on the safety front, which is why A-pillars on modern cars are much wider than on older ones.
 
Those A-pillars are an essential part of the car’s structure, providing much of the cars occupant protection in the event of a collision. If you want an unsafe car, you’re welcome…
For current models, yes, but when designed with a 180° full glass front windscreen, it will be a very different structure, isn't it?

The same safety standard could be achieved with a completely different structure design to accommodate the 180° front windscreen. Wouldn't it?

I think not.

2½ years ago, I had very good reason to be thankful modern cars are designed the way they are, with regard to crash safety.
I'm very grateful for that also. When I was in my thirties, my French little Saxo car was slashed like a knife to a butter. Caused by a reckless trucker who'd failed to check his mirror when moving into the middle lane.
The car was a complete write off.
Had it not been for the safety structure, I might not be posting these naff comments. 😀
 
A few years ago, we were following an Insignia that was dawdling. I thought about overtaking, but we were going to be early anyway so didn't bother. Two drunks swerved out from behind a lorry and hit the Insignia head on, so Mrs GSV and I had to hold the fort until the emergency services arrived. No fatalities, but the drunks were in a very bad way. The Insignia passengers turned out to be someone who worked in the local newsagent and her husband. Made a solid recovery, but I suspect they still have issues that remind them of that day.

Any backwards step in crash protection is unacceptable, and making cars heavier increases their kinetic energy and therefore damage they do to other cars - some already nudge three tonnes, which I find utterly stupid.

Kenneth, I hope this won't come across badly, but your thought process is really not like others'. This can be a good thing - we wouldn't have special & general relativity or quantum physics if Einstein etc had thought conventionally. But sometimes thinking differently from others is a sign that you are barking up the wrong tree. Possibly the wrong lamppost even.

After having taken a while to breathe properly again, as I am in India now with lots of air pollution, and probably few orange juices, I have edited few previous posts to have eyeframes that are asymmetrical from the centre of the eye and that extends to the brow ridge for improved aesthetics.

Also, it is certainly possible that the car’s driver side 180° one piece windscreens are manufactured with the ZEISS Drive Safe technology and other optical technologies like full 100% UV protection. So, night driving could become a breeze without having to worry about oncoming headlights and during the day extra clear visibility with the UV coatings.😊

You still don't get it do you. It doesn't matter what you do with the glass, doing away with the strong A-pillars, will seriously compromise the integrity of the passenger safety cell.

I'm done with this thread...
