ABS, Inc. has released the
Smart Mirror application for iPad. The app aids in eyewear selection, lenses education and multifocal measurements. It features fully interactive Augmented Reality for consumer-oriented sales consultations. The Smart Mirror app takes pictures and five seconds videos of patients to help them select their frame. They can see themselves wearing up to four frames on the screen and compare them. Pictures and videos can be e-mailed to the patient or be used to update their Facebook page. The app will educate the patient about refractive vision disorders, anti-reflective lenses, photochromic lenses, digital surfacing, polarized lenses and other products. Using the Smart Centration technology, the app will take accurately fitting height, bridge, panto, near and far PD. The app comes with a special cover for the iPad and a frame reference device.
