A unique technology that «shapes» light: This is how Rayform, based in Renens in the canton of Vaud, advertises its product list. The key to this technology is a computer algorithm that creates special light-shaping surfaces, explains the company on its website.
And what do you give a man who already has everything? With a Rayform light glass in his luggage, US President Joe Biden (78) will travel back to Washington on board Air Force One. Because such a high-tech glass is presented to him as a state gift from Switzerland, as Rayform’s development partner, the Lausanne Laboratory for Geometric Calculations (GCM), proudly reports on Twitter:
How does this light magic work? When illuminated by a light source or the sun, this carefully crafted, curved lens redirects rays of light and paints a portrait of President Biden. The technology is called Caustic and was developed ready for the market by Rayform as an offshoot of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPLF).
At first it remains unclear which gift Russian President Vladimir Putin (68), who has also traveled to Switzerland, will receive from Switzerland. (kes)
