Smart Eyewear: Introduction

• Smart eyewear is a device that contains a computer screen or display, which presents data derived from the background information system; it is worn over the eyes.
• The display is projected on the lens of the glasses or it can be a separate component brought to the eye sight. When the user doesn’t need any information given by the smart eyewear, the user can observe his or her surroundings without any distraction.
• The smart eyewear can augment the existing real world with additional information given by the informational system it has been connected to
• The advanced smart eyewear can automatically provide information about the target in sight such as a product in the hands, information about a scenery, and also facial recognition of an approaching individual. The user can communicate with the system with voice, signs, or finger sweeps.
• Smart eyewear is useful to take pictures or record video. It uses gestures and voice trackers that are placed behind the arms of the frame.
• Smart eyewear tracks user activities, makes hands-free calls, and plays music through speakers that are located behind the ears. These devices are available in clear glasses and tinted (sunglass lenses) glasses.
• Smart eyewear detects precise and accurate measurements, thus its applications are increasing in aerospace & defense, architecture &construction, medical, electronics, energy & power, heavy machinery, and entertainment sectors
