Designed to protect those who work underground as a smart wearable eyewear device, MethaVision detects toxic gases in real time and preventing tragedies before they happen.Created by PentaVision.
About MethaVision
MethaVision is a smart safety system designed to protect miners from invisible and rapidly developing underground hazards. Built as a pair of intelligent safety glasses, it combines real-time gas detection, environmental monitoring, and AI-powered risk analysis to provide personal, hands-free protection in high-risk environments.The glasses are equipped with advanced sensors that detect hazardous gases such as methane (CH₄), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and oxygen (O₂). Temperature and pressure are also continuously monitored to identify sudden environmental changes. All data is analyzed in real time by an embedded AI processor that looks beyond fixed thresholds and detects early warning patterns as risks begin to form.When a potential danger is identified, the system delivers immediate visual, auditory, and vibrational alerts. A color-coded augmented-reality interface allows workers to understand rising threats instantly, without stopping their work or using their hands. This gives miners critical seconds to react before conditions become life-threatening.Unlike traditional handheld detectors or fixed monitoring systems, MethaVision focuses on the individual worker. By integrating all monitoring functions into lightweight safety glasses, the system stays with the miner at all times and reflects exposure exactly where it occurs.
MethaVision is not designed to replace existing safety infrastructure, but to strengthen it. By adding a personal, proactive layer of protection, it aims to reduce preventable accidents and help ensure that more workers return home safely at the end of each shift.
MethaVision is designed to work quietly in the background while miners focus on their job.
1. Continuous sensingThe smart safety glasses continuously monitor the surrounding environment using integrated gas, temperature, and pressure sensors positioned close to the breathing zone. This allows the system to capture the conditions that directly affect the worker, not just the general area.
2. Real-time AI analysisAll sensor data is processed instantly by an embedded AI system. Instead of waiting for fixed danger thresholds to be crossed, the system looks at trends and sudden changes in the data to identify risks as they begin to form.
3. Immediate, hands-free alertsWhen a potential hazard is detected, MethaVision delivers clear visual, auditory, and vibrational alerts. A color-coded augmented-reality display allows workers to understand the level of risk at a glance, without stopping their work or using their hands.
By combining personal-level sensing with AI-driven early warnings, MethaVision helps give workers the extra seconds that can make a critical difference in dangerous underground environments.

Meet the Team Behind MethaVision
PentaVision was founded by a team of five passionate students who came together with one shared goal to make a real difference in people’s lives through innovation. What started as a simple idea for a safer world evolved into a mission: using technology to protect those who risk their lives every day.
The accidents we observed in our country Türkiye guided us in creating this project.
We believe entrepreneurship isn’t just about building products it’s about building solutions that matter. With MethaVision, we aim to transform how safety is understood, making workplaces smarter, safer, and more humane.
Every line of code, every sensor, and every design choice was created with one thought in mind: saving lives before it’s too late.
Most mining safety systems monitor environments. MethaVision protects the person inside them.
Personal-level protection
Unlike fixed systems that monitor general areas, MethaVision tracks conditions exactly where the miner is. This allows localized risks to be detected before they spread or become critical.
Hands-free by design
Safety equipment only works when it is actually used. By integrating the system into safety glasses, MethaVision stays with the worker at all times and does not require manual interaction during demanding tasks.
Early warning, not late alerts
Traditional systems react when danger thresholds are already exceeded. MethaVision uses AI to analyze trends and sudden changes, allowing risks to be identified while they are still forming.
Clear and intuitive alerts
Visual, auditory, and vibrational alerts are designed to be understood instantly. The augmented-reality interface helps workers recognize danger without stopping their work or looking away.
MethaVision does not replace existing safety infrastructure. It strengthens it by adding a personal, proactive layer of protection where it matters most.
