MJ-01S (Dynamic Vision Training Glasses)

How we can see things...

We see things through our visions in everyday lives and delay of the vision occurs. When one sees something, the image of the object first gets to his eyes and it reflects on his retinas. Then an electric signal gets to his brain through the optic nerve and the objects become the image again in the brain. After these procedures, he can finally see the object. It is called delay of the vision and it takes 0.5 to 0.6 seconds when we see something in move.
Here, we are not talking about the static vision which you can check with an eye chart but the dynamic vision which you use when you see some moving things. Normally, a person can run as fast as 20 to 30 km/h. When he walks his moving speed is around 3 to 5 km/h. Because of that, a person's dynamic vision is limited within that speed. Some animals like cheetahs have better dynamic vision as they can run much faster than humans.
We don't usually realize this delay of the vision. However, when we drive, this delay becomes an unconscious running distance and may lead to a serious accident. Suppose you see a child running toward to your vehicle, and only to find it was too late. It sometimes causes some ten-car chain reaction on the expressway.

When we play sports...

When we play sports such as baseball, tennis or soccer, the balls travel sometimes faster than 150km/h. In case of motor sports, machines' traveling speed sometimes gets to over 300km/h. When you try martial arts, you have to react to your opponent moving right in front of you as fast as possible. Many sports demand you reflexes which enable you to follow very fast moving objects.
Athletes have been training again and again to develop their dynamic visions. Pitching machines for baseball players or service machines for tennis players were made for them to do those drills.
To tell you the truth, these drills do not develop their visions but to accustom themselves to the moving speed. Of course, there have been some players whose concentrations made progress thanks to these drills and eventually their dynamic visions made progress as well.
It becomes more and more difficult to do drills when balls travel faster and faster. Athletes have been playing their hunch, believing their experiences and making progress in their concentration to maintain their good dynamic visions.
If athletes can shorten their reaction time to the objects and can develop their concentration of their visions, they may be able to see very fast moving balls even more clearly.

Our eye power...

Seeing an immovable object and a movable object are not the same. Our visions become worse or narrow when we drive on an expressway at high speed. It also happens when you try to see balls during the play or try to see your opponents during the practice of martial arts.
Then, is the hard training the only way to be able to see very fast moving balls clearly?
If a moving object looked as if it stopped, you can see it much more clearly. They have been using a series of blinking strobe lights to enable athlete to train for the very fast moving object in sports fields.
In those blinking strobe lights, moving balls can be seen as if they were not moving. You can see ten still balls when the strobe blinks ten times in a second. So, as you are now looking at still images, delay of the vision which I mentioned above does not matter you so much and you can see the ball quite clearly. As a result, you feel as if the movement of the ball became much slower. A still ball image can be seen much clearer than a moving one and this method is very effective for any sports that require you to see very fast moving objects.
However, you need a special darkroom for this kind of training. Besides, players can see only limited objects such as balls. The most serious defect of this method is that your surroundings change drastically from the training to the actual games.

Therefore,
"Outdoors, easy and can be used whenever and wherever you want!" is the keyword for the most ideal method for us.

Here is,
MJ-01S : Attention!!
MJ-01S enables you to try the blinking strobe training whenever and wherever you want. Liquid crystal shutters are attached to the eyeglasses of MJ-01S and the shutters blink 5 to 150 times in a second. While the shutters blink, you will be able to see for example a pitcher's throwing ball much clearer than usual. Even if the pitcher throws very fast balls, all you have to train is that to hit the ball that could be seen as if it were not moving. Of course, you can also apply this system to the other sports as well. You will be able to see any kinds of balls or your opponents moving clearer.
And you do not need any special places or big devices for this system. All you have to do is to put MJ-01S on when you train.

When to wear. : This is great!

Imagine that you have to put the device wherever you play even during an official game. It seems inconvenient and sometimes dangerous.
MJ-01S was especially designed to develop your dynamic visions themselves. If you train with MJ-01S, your dynamic visions will be trained and eventually, you will be able to see the balls clearly even without it. Also, you can switch the speed of the blinking shutters and that enables you to adjust your training to a wide range of the speeds. Keep training with MJ-01S, and you will be sure to see the remarkable effects.

Available for many sports. : And what is more...

MJ-01S is available for many types of sports.
You can use it to see the balls more clearly in such sports as soccer, baseball or tennis. You can also see your opponents' movements in such martial arts as kendo, boxing or karate. Beside those sports, it will be available for any sports such as shooting or motor sports which require you to have a good dynamic vision. The latest report also said that MJ-01S is quite effective for playing golf.

Available for golf.

Beginner and intermediate golf players can use MJ-01S as follows.

1) To check your swings.
*You can check your own swings including their orbits.
*You can see if your swings are outside-in or inside-out.br />

2) To check the directions of faces of your clubs.
*You can check if the faces of your golf clubs are in the right directions at the moment of hitting balls.
*You can check if the faces of your clubs are too close or too open.

3) To check the positions of balls on the faces of the clubs at the moment of impacts.
*You can check if you hit the balls at the right places of the faces.
*You can check if you do not hit the ball at the wrong places such as the edges of the faces or the shafts of the clubs.

4) You can check not only your own swings but also the other players' swings.

5) You can easily check the lines of the putt as you will be able to see the balls clearly.

●Weather and Lightness do not matter

Why you can train with this!?

We have two kinds of visions, static vision which you can check with an eye chart and dynamic vision which you use when you see something in move. Even if you have a very static vision, you may not be able to see very fast moving balls.
When you play sports, you need to train your dynamic visions.

With blinking of liquid crystal shutters attached to the eyeglasses, images of the balls will get to the brain as still images. And while real ball images are shut by the shutters, still spectrums of the balls remain in the brain.
This is how MJ-01S enable you to see the movement of the balls more clearly.
