IRYStec Software Inc.: IRYStec - Enabling Healthier & Safer Display Viewing

MONTREAL, 2018-01-04 15:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

IRYStec Software Inc., a leader in licensing perceptual display processing
technology, announced today the newest members of IRYStec's multi-disciplinary
perceptual display research team who will focus on helping to make displays
healthier and safer. 

Three years ago Tara Akhavan, CTO and co-founder of IRYStec, started recruiting
the world's greatest research minds to form a multi-disciplinary research team
with specialists in image processing, eye physiology and display hardware
technology. IRYStec is now expanding this world-class display research team to
include experts focused on eye health and safety. Consumers have become more
aware of the risks surrounding the viewing of screens. For instance a recent
report from CBS This Morning informed viewers of the correlation between screen
time and mental health - CBS Video. "IRYStec's eye friendly approach to
improving display readability in bright and dark lighting conditions as well as
reducing eye strain will benefit everyone. IRYStec is helping display device
manufacturers develop healthier displays," says Optometrist Dr Tyler Ohde, an
expert in eye care who will be aiding IRYStec as a new member of IRYStec's
Technical Advisory Board (TAB). 

Displays are also affecting automotive safety as the University of Utah reports
- Caution Ahead: The Growing Challenge For Driver's Attention. IRYStec is
collaborating with Francesco Biondi, a researcher from the university
commissioned by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Mr. Biondi stated: "Our
collaborative research with AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has found that
the latest automotive infotainment systems increase the potential for
distraction, by taking the driver's eyes off the road. Two second viewing time
is enough to double the risk for a crash, according to previous research.
IRYStec's approach of improving readability in dark and bright driving
conditions can help and has the real potential for improving driving safety."
