Enhanced User-Customized Goggles System
Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
An advanced system for producing user-customized goggles with improved comfort, fit, and functionality, leveraging 3D-data and automated processing to generate optimized goggles designs.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent for user-customized goggles had limitations in terms of manual processing and lack of automation, resulting in potential inaccuracies and inefficiencies. The present inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing automated processing and optimized design generation, ensuring improved comfort, fit, and functionality.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The Enhanced User-Customized Goggles System comprises a processing unit adapted to receive 3D-data defining the contour of the face of the user and to identify contact areas on a contacting surface of the face. The system automatically generates a 3D-model of the goggles based on the identified contact areas, optimizing the structure-data for improved comfort and fit. Additionally, the system can generate virtual try-on simulations and produce goggles with customized frame shapes, nose bridge shapes, and strap systems. The automated processing and optimized design generation enable the production of high-quality, user-customized goggles with reduced pressure points and improved stability and support.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new claims introduce automation and optimization in the production of user-customized goggles, which is a significant departure from the manual processing of the original patent. The inventive step lies in the integration of automated processing and optimized design generation, resulting in improved comfort, fit, and functionality.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the Enhanced User-Customized Goggles System could include the use of artificial intelligence for personalized recommendations, integration with virtual reality or augmented reality technologies, or the development of specialized goggles for specific industries or activities.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The Enhanced User-Customized Goggles System has significant commercial potential in the sports, healthcare, and fashion industries, where customized goggles can provide a competitive edge, improve user experience, and enhance brand loyalty. The system can also be applied in various other markets, such as gaming, education, and entertainment.
