Gunnar Optiks http://www.gunnars.com/news Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:42:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 GUNNAR To Manufacture Revolution Eyewear 3D Lens Technology http://www.gunnars.com/news/gunnar-partners-with-revolution-eyewear-in-3d-lens-technology/ http://www.gunnars.com/news/gunnar-partners-with-revolution-eyewear-in-3d-lens-technology/#comments Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:04:36 +0000 admin http://www.gunnars.com/news/?p=843 SAN DIEGO, California, March 17, 2010 – GUNNAR Optiks, the leading manufacturer of digital performance eyewear, announced today that they have partnered with Revolution Eyewear to supply GUNNAR i-AMP3DTM lenses, a premium 3D polarized lens technology, for use in Revolution’s patented magnetic clip-on product line.   

GUNNAR Optiks is the first company to develop a full package of lens and frame solutions that address the needs of the most demanding digital media users.  A recent extension of their core technology in Digital Performance Eyewear, GUNNAR’s i-AMP 3DTM lens technology brings a premium suite of performance optics to today’s 3D viewer.  Never before accessible to the consumer, this level of optical quality lens has previously been reserved for the highest echelon of movie making professionals.  Compatible with RealD® movies, the innovative lens technology enhances and enriches the viewing experience by providing precision machined, optically correct lenses in place of the cheap, disposable eyewear typically offered by movie theaters.   “We’re fiercely committed to every optical aspect of the digital revolution,” said Rob Aarnes, GUNNAR’s President.   “The 3D experience is coming of age right now and we can’t imagine a better way to experience this 3D explosion than combining Revolution’s progressive styles and fashion-forward attitude with GUNNAR’s lens technology”.
Revolution Eyewear is a worldwide leader in auxiliary, magnetic clip-on eyewear, a category of eyeglass accessories that allows users to easily add sun lenses under their existing corrective eyewear.  With GUNNAR i-AMP 3DTM lenses mounted in Revolution’s patented system, end users can now adapt their eyewear for 3D movie viewing.  Previously prescription eyewear users had no choice but to wear a pair of movie-theater glasses over their own eyewear.  “We create the most aesthetically pleasing and best quality eyewear in our category,” said Gary Martin, President & CEO of Revolution Eyewear.  “We are proud and extremely excited to join forces with GUNNAR Optiks in creating a new, leading-edge category:  3D-Enabled Magnetic Clip-Ons.  The evolution of Revolution continues and we’ll never stop striving towards being the most diversified company in eyewear today,” continued Martin, “This new product category is as innovative and exciting as any other product we have ever offered.” 
Revolution magnetic clip-ons will be available for pre-sell at the upcoming Vision Expo East tradeshow in New York City.  First commercial deliveries will be in July.

The official Major League Gaming licensed Legends glasses are both stylish — with their aviator-inspired design — as well as functional — with their i-AMP lens technology.  They also include headset compatible temples that allow for you to wear your headphones and mic comfortably.

Without breaking down every single technical detail, the glasses have been engineered to amplify your gaming skills and reduce your retinal strain while you’re gaming the night away at your PC. This particular model was co-designed by some of the MLG’s top pros to be tailored to a gamer’s specific needs, while incorporating GUNNAR’s patent-pending technology, which has been proven to work for other professionals that spend long hours staring at computer screens.

I’ve literally just been on CoD for the past 16 hours (geek… I know) it’s nearly 5am and I’m exhausted but my eyes are still absolutely fine and aren’t even a tiny bit blood shot…seriously love these glasses!

This increase correlates to an increase in health hazards from repetitive motion injuries, neck and back problems, and eye strain. Gunnar has recognized this and has put together a diverse product line dedicated to mitigating the strain we are putting on our eyes with some of their special lens and optic technologies. They sent us over a sample pair of their Wi-FIVE digital performance eyewear from their Catalyst collection to see how effective we felt they were. For $99, if they work as advertised, they should be well worth the investment.

Gunnar Optiks is a relatively new company and many people still haven’t heard of them as they endeavor to build a reputation in the marketplace. Some of their leaders came over from Oakley – a name which I’m sure most everyone is familiar. They have a handful of different product lines, for both indoor and outdoor use as well as a number of well-known endorsers like Soulja Boy and DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill fame.

However, I do have a mild tendency to overuse the computer. Heck, I earned myself a Guinness World Record for playing PC games for 36 hours straight.

Looking for a solution to keep my eye sight at an optimum level, I turned to Gunnar Optiks, a relatively new tech company pioneering the usage of digital performance eyewear to enhance visual performance and comfort when viewing a screen for extended periods of time. Utilizing an amber color tint, these glasses have been formulated specifically for gamers with a Major League Gaming (MLG) line.

I just want to let you know that my husband, Mike, and I had never heard of Gunnar Optiks until a couple of weeks ago.  A friend of ours let us borrow a pair of his glasses and we don’t want to give them back!!  My husband is a web designer and I am a budding photographer, so we work on our computers all day long.  My husband has tested them out more than I have, but since using the glasses for only 2 weeks, he has NOT had a headache!  These things are amazing!!  We must say, we are VERY impressed and OBSESSED!! :) Thank you for creating such a FANTASTIC product!

There is a small magnification to slightly enlarge font size on the computer. The glare of the screen is reduced. When relieving eye strain, migraines can be prevented.

For as long as I could remember I experienced eye strain, migraines, and even would get blood shot eyes when using the computer for long periods of time. Sometimes I would pass off my migraines thinking I was just dehydrated or didn’t have enough caffeine. Of course, this could have been true sometimes but I started to notice a pattern.

I was getting migraines that no sleep, water, pain reliever, or caffeinated drink could fix. Then I noticed it happened on the days I would spend extensive hours writing, editing, or playing a game on the computer.

(To Australia).  I have been wearing the Marley Mercury amber frames for just over an hour and all I can say is that these glasses are everything I hoped for and more. I was a tad worried with how much color would be distorted, but honestly, this is not even an issue (and I use a Wacom tablet for graphic design/web design). You just don’t realize how harsh the light from an LCD monitor can be until you try these glasses. Unbelievable.

There is a short adjustment period that your eyes go through, but this is expected given the lens is amber. I’m also more motivated to actually look at the screen and READ, something that I have dreaded up until now.

My recommendation: get a pair ASAP, you will be very, very glad you did!

I own a Search Marketing Agency and manage PPC campaigns for a number of clients so I’m in front of a computer for long hours at a time. When I first put them on I immediately noticed a drastic difference in the clarity and sharpness of text on my screen which did wonders to reduce eye strain and fatigue. I used to end the day with tired eyes and the occasional headache. It’s been almost a year that I’ve been wearing my Gunnars and they have completely eliminated those problems. Thank You!

But what those major companies forgot to do was think about style and function. This is where the company from my hometown, San Diego, gets two things right.

Instead of making people wear dorky looking 3D glasses, Gunnar Optiks has shown off stylish 3D glasses. Glasses that you wouldn’t mind being caught wearing outside. The other thing they have done right is making prescription 3D glasses. Instead of putting 3D glasses over your existing prescription glasses, why not just use one pair of glasses. It just makes sense.

Close-up computer work could be a reason.

For an increasing number of Americans, life’s a blur.  That’s according to a population-based study published Monday showing that rates of myopia — difficulty seeing distant objects — are soaring. The trend is matched in many other countries, causing eye doctors to wonder what could be causing the decline in human vision.

Some suspect both an increase in our close-up work time (think computer use) and a decrease in time spent outdoors.

If, like most geeks, you spend some significant portion of your day in front of a computer monitor — whether for work or for play — you’ve been straining your eyes. Ever get a headache from an intense session of programming, writing, or videogaming? Gunnar’s i-AMP lenses may be the answer.

Since work is where I spend the most time staring at a screen, I took my pair of prescription Gunnar glasses with me there. The first and second days I didn’t really notice much of a difference, but mid-afternoon on the third day I suddenly realized that the usual tension in my temples wasn’t there! Even better than that, the background headache I usually get from overhead fluorescent lights hadn’t arrived.

After all, everyone’s rolling out HD 3DTVs this CES, and 3D movies are also gaining traction thanks largely to Avatar’s unprecedented box-office performance. Gunnar Optiks does not want to miss out on the bandwagon as well, with their latest creation being able to support Real D and iZ3D’s range of products. What makes this special is the fact that they are custom made using components of their i-AMP technology to churn out the optics. This provides custom-shaped, formed and cut products that provide distortion free optics. No longer do you need to wear dorky 3D glasses over your existing pair of specs in the cinema. Out in Q2 this year, they will retail anywhere from $89 to 149.

Thanks to the staggering success of 3D film Avatar everyone seems to be hopping on board the third-dimension wagon.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean we’re going to be treated to a wave of new schlocky science-fiction movies and beloved franchises turned 3D with surrealistic effect. (Three Stooges in 3D, anyone?)

Instead peripheral makers, television manufacturers and television channels are all rolling out technology that will likely be obsolete before the decade even hits its teens.

Many of these geewiz gadgets are debuting this week at the Consumer Electronics Show. Just today San Diego-based GUNNAR Optiks, maker of gaming glasses, announced a new line of 3D glasses for gaming.

Currently, most eyewear used in 3D systems is either disposable or of low quality construction. With our expertise in optics and our commitment to the digital world, we see the opportunity as a natural fit.”

It’s okay for right now because I’m still relatively young, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to be paying the piper in my old age.
