Blitz Pre-read
AR, VR, and Biometric Sensing
Disruptour Overview
We hope that you find this useful in preparation for our upcoming Blitz.
The Inspiration File has been organized to set the context as we prepare to blitz the following new venture challenge:
How might we provide comprehensive eye care throughout people’s lifetimes—from their youth into their grey years;
in ways that automatically adjust to changes in their eyesight, lifestyle, and preferences—while making improved eye health and continuous good vision easy and accessible;
so that their eye health and seeing experiences—and the value they place on those—are the best that they can be every single day?
