Overcoming the weaknesses of the first generation "high price" and "low design"

In the first place, the first model of JINS MEME was announced in November 2015. At that time, I was a reporter on another IT media, but honestly it wasn't very close. There are two main reasons, and the first is the price. For those who use JINS, 5,000 yen and high and less than 10,000 yen glasses, the glasses with a direct sales price of 42,120 yen (tax included, then 8 % at the time) seemed to be very expensive. The other is design. The first JINS MEME was changed to the lens frequency, but there were only three types of frame designs (including sunglasses). I wanted to attach my favorite shape because it was worn in a place that was more noticeable than my wrist. I think the new JINS MEME has been able to dispel these two considerably. The direct sales price is 19,800 yen (tax included), including a normal clear lens, which is less than half the price of the first generation. There are two types of glasses, two colors each, and two colors for Sunglass type (e -commerce sales only). Of course, compared to ordinary glasses, the price is slightly more expensive and the design is limited. However, there is a mechanism that can expect the practicality and the future that you still want.

Core visualizes the state of mind and body

The new JINS MEME is equipped with a device that is integrated with sensors and batteries called Core in a way that hangs around the bridge. In the first generation, the temple (vine) was also equipped with sensors and batteries, so it was quite large. On the other hand, the new model is light overall, and it is an impression that it wears "ordinary glasses" for the purpose I see. The Core has a three -axis acceleration sensor, a three -axis gyro sensor (a sensor that detects rotation directions and rotation angles), and a built -in three -point eye power sensor that JINS patented. The three -point eye power sensor can measure the blinking strength, speed, interval, and speed of the gaze movement. Of course, MEME itself can only measure them and record them as data. The data is only sent to the smartphone app (only on the iPhone at the beginning of the release, and the Android after November). The dedicated application "JINS MEME App" mainly offers three functions: "BODY (body)", "Mind (Kokoro)", and "BRAIN (concentration)". BODY ... In addition to the number of steps and the time you were sitting, you can see the good and bad posture that is not stooped. Mind ... You can see the tension and the floating and sinking of the blinking from the spacing intervals. BRAIN ... I know how much work you have been working on a day. The number of steps is a familiar item for watch -type devices, but other items such as blinking and concentration are unique to JINS MEME, which can detect eye movements. In addition, the JINS MEME APP also has a stretch, yoga guide to correct posture, meditation content that adjusts the disturbance of the mind, and a function that can play BGMs as a task you want to concentrate.
