BRN Discussion Ongoing

[shaun168]

Hi Sean,

Their web site has a potted history of the creation of IXI:

https://ixieyewear.com/articles/meet-the-co-founders

Obviously a couple of very smart people, but neither founder has a background in NN SoCs. What experience they had was in NN algorithms.

Whatever they are doing Akida/TENNs will do it better.

Hi Diogenese,

It is understandable why some might be skeptical given the crowded nature of CES, but IXI Eyewear was definitively present at CES 2026 (held January 6–9, 2026).
The confusion likely stems from their exhibition strategy. Rather than a flashy booth in the main Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), IXI followed the common path for high-end tech startups by hosting private, high-fidelity demonstrations in a dedicated suite at The Venetian.

Verified Reports and Evidence​

Multiple top-tier tech publications have published hands-on reviews and interviews conducted on-site in Las Vegas:

• TechRadar: Jeremy Kaplan (Editor-in-Chief) personally tested the device and published an article titled "IXI's CEO on the tech behind CES 2026's most exciting eyeglasses." He explicitly describes an "unpainted, transparent prototype" shown to him to reveal the internal components.
• Engadget: They featured IXI in their coverage, noting that the glasses are "almost ready to replace multifocal glasses" and confirmed the CEO's presence for interviews.
• CNET: Reported on January 6, 2026, about IXI's participation, highlighting the $40 million in funding (including from Amazon) and the tech's ability to "autofocus on the fly."

The "Venetian Connection"
As a shareholder, it is worth noting that BrainChip also hosted its private suite at The Venetian (Suite 29-116) during CES 2026. Both companies were operating out of the same building, which is the traditional hub for semiconductor and deep-tech companies to hold private "handshake" meetings with OEMs like IXI.

I certainly hope not, that would be a disaster and put us back years.

The dude you answered to is on ignore so no idea what he was saying and don't care either, a short seller.

Many from the crapper place thinks that more deals would have been made if we had another CEO, LOL!

I never understood why they/you think that would make any difference?

The market will strike when they are ready and not before, no matter who's in charge. The number of sales guys who passed though BRN over the last 3–4 years speaks for themselves!

Edge AI neuromorphic computing got more interest last year and will gain more momentum this year and that trend will continue I am sure.

Maybe try reading this excellent article below more carefully, that person knows what he is talking about, way more than us laymen retail investors.

Not a high bar to jump over is it, no deals, no revenue!!!

WTF?????


@Guzzi62 .. You think I am not a genuine investor??????

I hold more shares than most here and am sick to the back teeth of Turds like you!!!! suggesting otherwise......



2 Options.........

1) We have no revenue because our management are Shit Hot

or

2) We have no revenue because our management are SHIT!!!!

Vote now kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said: the poster you answered to is a short seller, why don't you read carefully before commenting!

AKD 1000 have been available on the market as smart boxes/M2 card and so on as per the link below. AKD2 was first finished tapping out not so long ago, and they might do some fab of that one as well, but what size should they choose? 7 nm, 5 nm, 4 nm, or 3 nm? no wait, the good ol nm22 maybe? The lower the no, the higher the cost.
You can have 1/2 million nm22 chips made up for around 5-10 million $US according to Goggle.
IP is way better, AKD IP will be integrated into the chip design, not so much work for BRN to do, way fewer man-hours needed, but physical chips will be better for testing of the customers prototype(s) as Steven B. said in an interview.

Calling our management, highly educated people with many many years in the industry, sxxx are pretty low.

I will therefore not be reading any further posts from you, bye-bye on ignore you go, clown!!!!

Hi Shaun,

Looks like Chatty has its rose coloured glasses on.

One of the IXI co-founders is Willi (Villi?) Mirttinen, and it looks like he was an inventor of this patent from 2018:

US11099381B2 Synchronizing light sources and optics in display apparatuses 20180810

Applicants: VARJO TECH OY [FI]

Inventors: PEUHKURINEN ARI ANTTI ERIK [FI]; MIETTINEN VILLE ILMARI [FI]

View attachment 94282

A display apparatus, communicably coupled with a server arrangement via a data communication network, comprising:
means for tracking a user's gaze;
means for tracking a pose of the display apparatus;
at least one light source;
at least one optical element; and
a processor configured to:
process gaze-tracking data, collected by the means for tracking the user's gaze, to determine a gaze position, a gaze direction, a gaze velocity and a gaze acceleration per eye of the user;
process pose-tracking data, collected by the means for tracking the pose of the display apparatus, to determine a position, an orientation, a velocity and an acceleration of the display apparatus;
send, to the server arrangement, gaze information indicative of the gaze position, the gaze direction, the gaze velocity and the gaze acceleration of the user, and apparatus information indicative of the position, the orientation, the velocity and the acceleration of the display apparatus, wherein the server arrangement is configured to predict a gaze position, a gaze direction, a gaze velocity and a gaze acceleration per eye of the user based on the gaze information, predict a position, an orientation, a velocity and an acceleration of the display apparatus based on the apparatus information, and process an input image to generate at least one image, based on the predicted gaze position, the predicted gaze direction, the predicted gaze velocity and the predicted gaze acceleration, and the predicted position, the predicted orientation, the predicted velocity and the predicted acceleration of the display apparatus;
receive, from the server arrangement, the at least one image, predicted gaze information indicative of the predicted gaze position, the predicted gaze direction, the predicted gaze velocity and the predicted gaze acceleration, and predicted apparatus information indicative of the predicted position, the predicted orientation, the predicted velocity and the predicted acceleration of the display apparatus;
determine an adjustment to be made in a configuration of the at least one light source and the at least one optical element prior to displaying the at least one image, based on the predicted gaze information and the predicted apparatus information;
determine whether or not a portion of at least one previous image is to be displayed during the adjustment;
when it is determined that the portion of the at least one previous image is to be displayed, display the portion of the at least one previous image via the at least one light source, whilst making the adjustment in the configuration of the at least one light source and the at least one optical element;
when it is determined that no portion of the at least one previous image is to be displayed, switch off or dim the at least one light source, whilst making the adjustment in the configuration of the at least one light source and the at least one optical element; and
display the at least one image via the at least one light source after the adjustment is made.


More recently from the same company (optical distance measurement):

US2025216553A1 HYBRID DIRECT AND INDIRECT TIME-OF-FLIGHT IMAGING 20231227


Disclosed is a depth imaging system with a light source; a depth sensor comprising direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) pixels and indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) pixels; and processor(s) configured to: employ the light source to emit an intensity-modulated light pulse towards objects in a real-world environment; obtain dToF data indicative of time taken by the intensity-modulated light pulse to reach the dToF pixels after being reflected by the objects; obtain iToF data indicative of phase shifts undergone by the intensity-modulated light pulse upon reaching the iToF pixels after being reflected by the objects; determine optical depths for the dToF pixels; determine optical depths for the iToF pixels; and generate a depth image from the optical depths of the dToF pixels and the optical depths of the iToF pixels.

[0048] Optionally, the optical depths for the iToF pixels are determined by using at least one neural network. Optionally, in this regard, an input of the at least one neural network comprises the iToF data indicative of the phase shifts and the optical depths determined for the dToF pixels, while an output of the at least one neural network comprises the optical depths for the iToF pixels. It will be appreciated that the at least one neural network determines the optical depths for the iToF pixels in a highly accurate manner by resolving said ambiguities, as compared to conventional techniques. In this way, the at least one neural network may act as a mapping function, providing refined depth predictions for the iToF pixels. This may enhance overall depth sensing in the real-world environment, and mitigate typical uncertainties involved in optical depth determination for the iToF pixels. It will also be appreciated that the aforesaid input is provided to the at least one neural network both in a training phase of the at least one neural network and in an inference phase of the at least one neural network (i.e., when the at least one neural is utilised after it has been trained).

{062] ... Optionally, the at least one processor is configured to employ at least one neural network for generating the high-resolution depth image.

While they refer to NNs, they don't seem to be interested in the details, but they do seem to think it is software, so there is no indication of an Akida link, but absence of evidence ...

Well it seems they are not using the time-of-flight to determine the focal length:

https://tech.eu/2025/04/29/ixi-raises-365m/

"We've developed an eye-tracking technology that fits into the frames and operates at low power, allowing it to run continuously. It measures the vectors of both eyeballs. When you focus on something close, your eyes naturally converge slightly.

Based on this convergence, we can determine the distance you're looking at and adjust the optical power accordingly."

So it all depends on the bifocal eyeball tracking. That idea's got to be worth a fortune. It could be used with a foveated camera/lidar to pick up fine detail at a point of interest.

Maybe even nm2, well no I guess: The initial cost to design a complex 2nm chip is massive, estimated to be over $725 million. This includes immense R&D, software, and intellectual property (IP) licensing fees. These development costs are amortized over the total volume of chips produced, meaning companies need to sell millions of units to make the endeavor economically viable.

Oh dear......................

YOU CHILD........

This was almost 12 mths ago.......

Episode 24: Brainchip

Jon Tapson (JT): At BrainChip, we are currently finishing off our Akida 2.0 architecture. And this is an expansion on all of BrainChip’s prior work. It’s essentially a neuromorphic chip, it’s event-based, and it makes use of the intrinsic sparsity in signals to achieve high levels of efficiency


But, but, Joh. Didn't we try to sell the Akida 2.0 architecture as IP 3 years ago?????


WTF Guzzi62???? Are you a used car sales person??????

Ripping song, one of my favorites.

How does this relate to BRN, I wonder???????????
