Having established REFRAMD as a creator of custom eyewear products driven by individual facial scans, I faced questions of scalability and optimization after analyzing tens of thousands of facemesh data points. To address this, I segmented the collected facial data into demographic clusters and used this segmentation as the foundation to develop REFRAMD’s proprietary eyewear fit standards.

This approach ensured that every design was optimised for at least nine fit variations, accommodating the fit requirements of different demographics.

I outlined facial landmarks to extract key measurements from facemeshes. This enabled clustering facemeshes into size segments.

REFRAMD's designs are available in multiple variations based on facial data from hundreds of face scans.

Once I had determined REFRAMD proprietary sizing standards, creating a family of designs in different nose profiles and sizes was a breeze, thanks to the Grasshopper algorithms I had written.
