Visottica Group is expanding its product lineup with three new hinge solutions for smart eyewear, developed to meet a variety of design needs. From a 180° temple rotation to an interchangeable system, to a solution with a refined design—all designed to integrate smart features without compromising aesthetics.
Three Approaches to the Evolution of Smart Glasses
Integrating technology into eyewear poses new challenges. With these innovations, Visottica Group is contributing to the evolution of smart glasses through components that offer new possibilities to designers and manufacturers.
180° Rotation hinge with cable passage
Engineered to enable 180° temple rotation, this solution features an integrated cable passage located directly at the pivot point. The architecture introduces a novel approach: accommodating a circular-cross-section cable, it shifts the conventional challenges of translation, bending, and length recovery into a rotary kinematic system.
Interchangeable hinge system
Designed for maximum versatility, this interchangeable system enables end users to easily swap temples, transitioning seamlessly from smart eyewear to sports or fashion frames. The same front can thus adapt to multiple looks, offering greater flexibility to designers and manufacturers.
Elegantly designed hinge
Designed to accommodate advanced smart features, this hinge enables FPC connections and data transmission without compromising the eyewear’s elegance. Its refined structure incorporates a customizable, retractable central element that seamlessly adapts to the identity and style of any brand.
Compliant, high-performance materials
The smart sector also poses new challenges in this area, shifting the focus of design materials toward specific aspects such as lightweight construction, heat dissipation, the enhancement of complex shapes, and design-oriented features, all while meeting the eyewear industry’s most stringent standards.
