3:50 - Key Specs and Features
The POVEC Optics Electrochromic Glasses change their tint between 3 different levels in about a second with the swipe of a finger, which is super useful for outdoor athletes who are hiking, cycling, or doing some crazy high adventure action
The sunglasses that automatically darken with UV exposure are called photochromic lenses, and they can take around 30 – 60 seconds to fully adjust. And that’s too long for outdoor athletes
The POVEC Glasses switch in a second, their battery lasts 28 days, they’re impact resistant, and they’re IP65 water-resistant
These are actually the world’s first electrochromic glasses, which is the same tech used in smart sunroofs
Electrochromic lenses work differently from liquid crystals and the reversible chemical change of those UV-darkening photochromic lenses
Watch the video to learn more about my insights from taking them on test runs, the differences between electrochromic lenses and other tinting technologies, and the specific features of these glasses
