Americans spend 11 hours a day looking at screens, NY Times 2018. We need and deserve more tools to help us balance our interaction with tech and consumption of media. IRL Glasses use horizontal polarizers to block the light from LCD/LED displays found in TVs — they also work to as sunglasses to block UV light.

Love the product, def wanna see some designer frames that are less like Rosa Klebb's glasses :) (From Russia with Love 1963 James Bond Villain - google it! LOL)

I think the product needs a lot more research and development into the technology and customer experience. Firstly the technology doesn't block all screens as IRL have said and secondly the glasses are inspired by old sunglasses designs f 1988 that dont appeal to a larger customer market. Customers like variety, technology and style. The technology has lots of promise but it is not there yet. Also you dont see Oakley selling one type of sun glasses shape design, the glass itself should be cut for different shapes to appeal to style as well as it's use. To separate the brand. Brand it! Not keep to a certain statement of glass design as there are so many tried and tested glasses shapes out there that work...
So pumped to see these go live! Do you have plans to launch different styles?

@davidspinks Thanks man! This initial beta pair is our MVP, still a lot of R&D to do so we can block ALL SCREENS as opposed to just LCD/LED, we'll stick with this initial style until our additional R&D is complete.

@ivan_cash Very cool, but have you thought about the effect of wearing these while driving? Do these glasses affect your ability to view a lighted construction sign, for example?
Report
@rmagrino Hey Robert, thanks for your note! As stated in our Kickstarter FAQ, IRL Glasses should NOT be worn while driving. In addition to construction signs, we are aware that there are certain car models with LCD screens embedded. So, as much as we like the idea of people rocking IRL Glasses everywhere, all the time, we strongly discourage people from wearing IRL glasses while driving, for your own safety.
