Concept Proposal Adaptive Lens and Bidirectional Sign Translation for Ray-Ban Meta
Hello,
I am writing from lived experience as a neurodivergent adult in Wiltshire UK with visual stress that affects reading in bright and artificial light.
I would like to propose three accessibility improvements.
First - Adaptive Filtered Lens Option. An optional electrochromic / Transitions style filter with selectable tints for example pale yellow for visual stress that auto dims under harsh lighting. This would make the glasses wearable all day for many users not only those with dyslexia.
Second - Discrete Persistent Offline Reading. A silent output via bone conduction or HUD text with offline OCR and a stable connection rather than an audible prompt that requires connectivity. This would provide privacy and reliability on public transport.
Third - Bidirectional Sign Language Translation Opening Doors Between Communities. Inside the lens Sign Language to English. Outside front display English to signing avatar motion. This opens doors for the deaf community to communicate naturally and removes long standing barriers between the hearing community and the deaf community. It would allow a blind person and a deaf person to communicate directly without an interpreter and could be extended to a shared classroom or workplace display that translates speech and sign in both directions ensuring true equality of access.
I am happy to participate in user research or beta testing.
Thank you.
Mrs Brown
