Magic Leap seeks patent for color blindness treatment device

South Florida technology developer Magic Leap has filed a patent application describing a wearable device that uses augmented reality to treat color blindness.

The company, which has filed more than 100 patent applications in diverse industries since it began operation in 2011, maintains offices in Dania Beach and Plantation.

The patent application describes “an augmented reality head-mounted ophthalmic system comprising a wearable augmented reality display platform” which would be “configured to pass said light from the world into an eye of a wearer.”

It says the “wearable augmented reality device is configured to selectively modify said light from the world based on a color detection deficiency of the wearer.”

Magic Leap spokeswoman Julia Gaynor said she had no comment on the device or patent application.

The device inventors are listed as: Rony Abovitz, founder and CEO of Magic Leap; Brian Schowengerdt, co-founder and chief science and experience officer; Nicole Elizabeth Samec, a biomedical engineer; John Graham Macnamara, senior creative scientist; Mark Baerenrodt, health-care business leader; as well as Christopher M. Harrises of Nashua, N.H.
