VUZIX - Smart Glasses Technology

The Race is On

According to Wired.com, Google recently filed a patent application that revealed the organisation is looking to employ voice recognition and hand-tracking techniques through cameras. Additionally, it’s exploring low-level artificial intelligence that will automate some of the Glass navigation mechanisms currently adjusted with a small touchpad on the temple,

Apple’s latest patented idea doesn’t reveal much of its styling although, being Apple, it’s a given that its final result will be supremely elegant. The patent identifies that the company is working on a single lens fitted over one eye, similar to that of the Google Glass project. Olympus too is working on a lightweight frame with
a display over one eye.

Vuzix, in conjunction with Nokia Corporation, has developed its own Smart Glasses Technology and has concepts for both monocular and binocular displays.

Like Explore Engage’s glasses, Vuzix Smart Glasses are designed to work with other smart devices that are typically connected to the internet. They’re interactive and merge virtual information with the real world and can be used at night or outdoors in full daylight.

Vuzix’s concept for binocular Smart Glasses, which the company is developing for the consumer market, is bulkier than Google Glass but more streamlined than the concept Explore Engage showed me. In fact, they pretty much look like a standard wrap frame yet, the company claims, it has the capacity to carry all the componentry required for a full AR experience.

The glasses for commercial and industrial purposes were due to market as we went to print.
