Vantage: Handcrafted Tint-Adjusting Eyewear with Voice Control

Chamelo
  • 2027 Honoree in Fashion Tech
Vantage is a pair of electronically tint-adjusting sunglasses with voice control and integrated open-ear audio. Each lens contains a liquid-crystal film; applying voltage realigns the crystal molecules, shifting tint between 50% and 10% visible light transmission in 0.1 seconds. An upgraded higher-voltage version of Chamelo's Eclipseâ„¢ lens system enables this widened tint range. The wearer adjusts tint by voice command or by touching the temple; tint changes on demand rather than in reaction to UV exposure, so the lenses work behind windshields and under artificial light. Ultra-slim open-ear speakers and dual microphones are housed inside handcrafted Italian acetate temples, supporting music, calls, and voice control while leaving the ears open. The frame is a lightweight aviator, compatible with prescription lenses, and provides 100% UVA/UVB protection at every tint level. Vantage is designed for both sport and everyday wear.
