The founders of the Xocchiali concept and products are four people with extensive experience in the home electronics industry, applying it to products for everyday consumers. They have worked in leading positions in large international groups such as Ericsson, Sony Mobile Communications and Nokia, but have also taken on the challenges of starting new companies where traditional products such as watches, household electrical items etc. have been enhanced with the latest technology. The four founders are:
– Pål Borge – Project management & operations
– Sarandis Kalogeropulos – Business development & Sales
– Paul Johansson – R&D & Hardware development
– Dr. Günter Alce – Technology & Software development
Günter is also a university lecturer in virtual and augmented reality technology at Lund University.
The idea behind the Xocchiali concept is to unite the real world with the digital world, but based on relevant use cases that provide the user with valuable information in a simple way. All this must be carried out without compromising on the design of the eyewear, as this is a fashion statement for many. The eyewear will be connected to the mobile and the cloud to maximize the use of information that is out there.
Xocchiali is established in southern Sweden, in the city of Malmö. We work with the best suppliers in the eyewear and electronics industry to achieve the Xocchiali concept. Most of our suppliers are based in Europe and have manufacturing facilities there.
One can interact with the eyewear through microphones, speakers, indicators, and sensors. The eyewear connects to the phone through the latest Bluetooth technology, and the phone opens up the entire ecosystem that is available via cloud services. This allows us to create relevant use cases, that simply enrich the user’s everyday life. Xocchiali’s ambition is to continuously develop technology for effortless interaction and information exchange without compromising on the design of the glasses.
You need a mobile phone to connect your eyewear. Without a mobile phone, the eyewear works like regular eyewear.
When launched, you will find the Xocchiali mobile application on Google Play and the App Store.
Xocchiali smart eyewear provides features in four main areas. To Notify – you are informed about various events via light or sound. To Trigger – you can initiate a number of events by voice control or button press. To Sense – through a number of sensors, you are informed about your lifestyle or you can inform relatives about events – XO Features – Specific features developed and integrated by Xocchiali.
Initially, we will support English, but a rollout in different languages will take place according to our marketing plan. In the countries where Xocchiali is sold, we will also support the main local language.
You follow the instructions in your downloaded Xocchiali application. In short, this means that you register for a Xocchiali account, connect your eyewear with a Bluetooth link to your mobile phone, and then configure your eyewear according to your personal preferences. You can easily change the configuration over time as your needs change in the Xocchiali application.
The main information exchange takes place between the phone and the eyewear through a Bluetooth connection. For some use cases, information is retrieved from cloud services and thus requires an internet connection via mobile network or Wi-Fi.
In principle, there are no restrictions on the features that can be used. If your phone or the desired app allows control via Bluetooth, speech, etc. then it can be controlled through the eyewear with Xocchiali inside. The eyewear is connected to the internet through your phone, and you can easily communicate and get all desired information through AI assistants, etc.
You make a number of basic choices in your Xocchiali application on your mobile, such as who you want to be notified by – people or other applications. For other features, you trigger them on the go, through voice control where you simply ask a question or request information.
Even if all eyewear factories are based on similar principles, they are all unique. Xocchiali cooperates directly with your current eyewear factory to integrate the necessary steps for the Xocchiali technology to fit inside your eyewear design. Xocchiali can also arrange technology fitting externally.
