Spark

Iris's brother was injured looking down at a map.

The product started as a safety object, not an entertainment surface.

Friction

Phones pull your head down on sidewalks.
Sightline is navigation for people who already wear glasses and refuse a headset.

Bet

Prescription lenses with a subtle navigation layer.

Build

A waveguide at the rim, a bone-conduction cue, and offline maps for a city.

Display time is measured in seconds, not sessions.
