Smith Launches the New Lowdown Focus

The first brain sensing eyewear that gives the user real-time feedback on cognitive training for better focus and concentration.

 

Published: October 5, 2017 Press Release

Smith’s Lowdown Focus mpowered by Muse is the first market-ready output built on the SafiloX brain sensing eyewear platform. A piece of eyewear uniquely designed and crafted to enhance performance with seamlessly integrated EEG technology.

The benefits of cognitive training on well-being include heightened sense of self-awareness, increased focus and lower stress. These innovative smart sunglasses, combined with the Smith Focus app, deliver this training by integrating Interaxon’s MuseTM brain-sensing technology into the popular and stylish Smith Lowdown frames. The result is a beautifully designed and lightweight eyewear that anyone can sport every day.

The electronics and EEG sensors that measure brain activity are invisibly integrated into the frame. Sensor data is transmitted to the app via Bluetooth, where brain activity is translated in real-time into guiding sounds that reflect the state of mind of the user.

COGNITIVE TRAINING AND MOBILE APP

During each training session with Lowdown Focus mpowered by Muse, the technology measures brain activity and provides users with cues to focus on breathing, helping train their minds to become more calm, relaxed and focused for sport or navigating the chaos of everyday life.

The user can experience a series of exercises developed to help them reach cognitive training goals, with special features to enhance energy management and attention before competition, exercises to reintegrate into daily conditioning and to combat daily stressors.

Sessions are designed to allow user to train their focus in as little as 1 minute per day, up to 3 hours. Within the Smith Focus app, users can tailor their cognitive training to their own needs; from quick drop-in sessions, to scheduled training and downloadable content aimed at improving sleep, focus, relaxation and performance. Users receive visual feedback on each session and can track of personal progress, review data, and improve their practice.

Motivational challenges and rewards are specifically designed to encourage the user to build a more regular and effective practice.

Smith Lowdown Focus mpowered by Muse is available in two different sizes (S/M & M/L) and three color options (Matte Black, Matte Gravy, and White). All models will be available with ChromaPopTM lenses, Smith’s proprietary lens technology that allows wearers to see detail and color beyond normal capabilities.

Smith Lowdown Focus can be purchased online via Smith e-commerce website at smithoptics.com/lowdown, starting October 3rd in North America and in other countries of the world, including UK, as of January 2018.

SMITH FOCUS APP is available in the North America for free download via The Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
