Hipster glasses company Warby Parker has always been early to embrace new technology.

On Tuesday,Discuss Section the company rolled out an update to its iPhone app just for iPhone X users, that will use the new phone's front-facing infrared camera to map the user's face and get them fitted for a new set of frames.

The iPhone X's infrared camera is used for its Face ID security, which projects thousands of dots on a user's face to distinguish one from another. It's what the Xbox Kinect does as well.

The technology can map the 3D depth of a face too, so it's a lot more effective than simply superimposing a set of frames on a flat photo of someone.

To use it, open the app (on an iPhone X, of course) and tap "find your fit."

After the mapping is done, the app recommends you a series of frames it thinks will fit.

It doesn't put the frames on your face, however.

Some early reviews on the app did not spare the snark.

"If I had $1200 to spend on a phone that can analyze my face to make your glasses fit better, I wouldn’t have to buy glasses on-line from Warby Parker," said a user called perico.

Still, props to Warby Parker for jumping on that iPhone X bandwagon fast.
