The Magic 5

 The Magic 5, a small Danish company co-founded by a triathlete, his engineer uncle, and a national team swimmer, aims to use the availability of these tools to change the way swim goggles are made. They developed a proprietary face-scanning app which maps every contour of your face and - in particular - your eye sockets in three-dimensions. From there, they can create fully custom gaskets unique to each eye - and pair them with the exact right nose-bridge from their wide selection of pre-made widths to create a pair of goggles that matches perfectly to you.
