Abstract
A spectacles fitting system including a wide-view imaging system operative to provide a wide-view of a client's face, a 3D image processor operative to generate first 3D information describing the client's physical features, a virtual try-on unit operative to receive the digital 3D representation of the client's face and a digital 3D representation of a spectacle frame, to virtually mount the spectacle frame onto the client's face and to generate second 3D information describing frame/facial fit, and a lens fitter operative to receive the first 3D information and the second 3D information and to generate therefrom at least one parameter for face-and-frame customized manufacture and cutting of the lens.
Claims25
A spectacles fitting system comprising:
- a wide-view imaging system operative to provide a wide-view of a client's face;
- a 3D image processor operative to generate first 3D information describing the client's physical features;
- a virtual try-on unit operative to receive a digital 3D representation of the client's face and a digital 3D representation of a spectacle frame, to virtually mount the spectacle frame onto the client's face and to generate second 3D information describing frame/facial fit;
- and
- a lens fitter operative to receive the first 3D information and the second 3D information and to generate therefrom at least one parameter for face-and-frame customized manufacture and cutting of the lens.
A spectacles fitting system comprising:
- an imaging system operative to provide a 3D view of a client's head and face;
- a 3D image processor operative to generate 3D information describing the client's face;
- and
- a face/frame/lens fitting unit operative to receive:
- 3D face information including at least one of said 3D view and said 3D information;
- and
- frame mapping information for building an image of different models of spectacles frames,
- the face/frame/lens fitting unit comprising:
- a computerized 3D positioning unit positioning a spectacle frame model from among said models of spectacles frames onto the client's face including simulation of at least one lens parameter characterizing a lens virtually mounted within the frame.
A spectacles fitting method comprising:
- providing a wide-view of a client's face;
- generating first 3D information describing the client's physical features;
- receiving a digital 3D representation of the client's face and a digital 3D representation of a spectacle frame, virtually mounting the spectacle frame onto the client's face and generating second 3D information describing frame/facial fit;
- and
- receiving the first 3D information and the second 3D information and generating therefrom at least one parameter for face-and-frame customized manufacture and cutting of the lens.
A spectacles fitting method comprising:
- providing a 3D view of a client's head and face;
- generating 3D information describing the client's face;
- receiving 3D face information including at least one of said 3D view and said 3D information;
- and frame mapping information for building an image of different models of spectacles frames;
- and
- positioning a spectacle frame model from among said models of spectacles frames onto the client's face including simulation of at least one lens parameter characterizing a lens virtually mounted within the frame.
A computerized spectacles fitting system comprising:
- a computerized display of a multiplicity of spectacle options at least some of which are displayed in association with a display of views of the world as will be seen by the customer through a plurality of different lenses.
A electronic spectacles purchasing system comprising:
- a spectacles display unit operative to store a first plurality of 3D representations of faces and a second plurality of 3D representations of spectacles including frames and to display a 3D image of a selected one of said faces and spectacles to a user;
- and
- a frame preselection unit operative to derive face morphology information regarding an individual customer's face from said first plurality of 3D representations of faces and to select a subset of said frames to display to the individual customer, characterized in that the subset of frames are appropriate for the customer's face morphology.
A computerized spectacles fitting system comprising:
- a computerized display of a multiplicity of spectacle-face options, each of the displayed spectacle options including a 3D display of a customer's face on which spectacles selected by the customer, including a frame selected by the customer, are mounted, the 3D display including a 3D display of lenses mounted within the spectacles;
- and
- a 3D lens building and displaying unit operative to generate the 3D display of lenses based at least partly on imformation regarding the frame selected by the customer.
