Zeiss (tooz technologies)
Prescription
smart glasses.
AR glasses built on a Zeiss optical platform that puts a discreet display into a prescription lens: at the time, the only optical engine that could. Developed at Zeiss, where Simon led product engineering and industrial design before founding SK-PD.

What we did
Role: Simon led product engineering and industrial design, 2020 to 2021, as a full-time position before SK-PD, with light support afterwards.
Product: from a working developer kit in a rough frame to glasses engineered for consumers: mechanical architecture, frame design, hinge and temple engineering, electronics integration, miniaturisation and optical engine packaging, plus direction to the optics team for the next-generation engine.
Delivery: engineering work for customers integrating the technology into their own products, and hand-over packages for those who did it themselves.
Working between: optics, electronics, software, marketing and external customers.
