About

I came back to lens design after a long break and was surprised by how unaccessable the traditional tools are for an individual. It made me step back and think about how I actually want to approach optical design going forward. That led to a question: What would AI-native optical design software look like? Not to replace engineering judgment, but to simplify the repetitive manual tasks, and explore more starting points faster and with fewer blind spots. That is the direction I have been exploring. I am curious how others here see the future of lens design going.
