Yes an Android version is on our roadmap, but honestly it will be quite a while. It isn't just the depth sensor, but also the ability to know for each phone model the intrinsic calibration of the sensor, the GPU, the IMU, and the screen size. We're doing real-time rendering and some very heavy computation at 60fps, which really does leverage tight software/hardware integration iOS and Apple hardware provides. That being said, if you are excited about what we're doing and the only think holding you back is the phone you choose to carry in your pocket, contact me or anyone on my team via the website and we'll be happy to give you a discount for the inconvenience of having to borrow a friend's iPhone.

we build a 3D model of your entire face, including your nose. We then 5-axis CNC the shape of your nose into the frame, creating completely custom nosepads. We also use the unique location of each of your ears to craft unique left and right temples arms, each with custom length and drop angles to match the asymmetric location of each ear (everyone has a bit of asymmetry in their face). We also customize the temple arm angles based on the base curve (front curvature) of your ultimate Rx lens, so it all fits together as a system and will never stretch out over time. It fits perfect out-of-the-box, with no adjustments required.

Great question: -for older devices without a depth sensor, we do a combination of pure computer vision (detect landmarks in 2D, then solve for 3D, then apply a morphable model (3DMM). After an order is placed, we'll do photogrammetry to further refine the model. -for newer devices with the TrueDepth sensor (used for FaceID), we build a mesh directly from that. -accuracy is sub-millimeter. -frames are 100% custom. For each frame, for each customer, we adjust over 20 different dimensions for a perfect fit. Down to the unique contours of your nose. It's all 5-axis CNC machined (for plastic) and laser-cut (for stainless steel) (also sorry if I overstepped earlier. I'm just trying to be helpful. Long time reader, but first time commenter.)

Fun fact: Costco and Walmart surface their lenses on equipment made by Essilor (Satisloh subsidiary). Also if you're buying "transitions" branded photochromatic lenses - that's Essilor too.

At Topology Eyewear, we DON'T charge extra for super-high index (1.74) lenses, and all lenses come equipped with the best anti-reflective AND superhydrophobic coating. Because one shouldn't be forced to cut corners to deliver the best and most comfortable vision possible. Happy to answer any questions. Check it out at http://www.topologyeyewear.com

To be legally above board, an online provide must attempt to confirm the Rx you enter is correct AND still valid. But few if any do because its a race to the bottom on quality and price. At Topology Eyewear, we spare no expense to ensure you get the best custom frames (like a custom suit) AND the best optics money can buy. We take 100% compensated Rx very seriously!

I'm Eric, the founder of Topology Eyewear. Our 3D face scan (via our iPhone app) is way more accurate than a standard pupilometer used in a Doctor's office (and WAY WAY better than a ruler or dots placed by a sharpie!). We solve for monocular PD, so no need to beg your doctor for this piece of info that isn't technically part of your Rx.

I'm Eric, the founder of Topology Eyewear. We agree that "stock" eyewear (a.k.a. off-the-shelf eyewear) is overpriced. Worst than overpriced, it doesn't fit you very well, because it wasn't made for you! Everyone is different, so we have figured out how to make every one of our glasses different: 100% custom made to fit each individual, like a custom suit; made from the same luxury Italian acetate (plastic) and full-hard stainless steel you'd expect from a high-end frame. And our optics are BETTER than you'd get from your doctor, b/c we compensate for 3D position of wear. And it's all done via an iPhone app using 3D face scanning.
