Introduction.
• Wearable computers that adds information to what the wearer sees.
• Are computerized internet connected glasses.
• With transparent heads up display.
• Like other computers smart glasses also collect information from internal and external sources.
• Smart glasses have all the features of smart phones.
• Supports Bluetooth, wi-fi, and GPS.
• Some also have activity tracker functionality features(such as distance walked or run, calories burned, heartbeat count etc.).
Inventor… Professor Steve Mann
Father of Smart Glasses
Steven Mann is a
Canadian researcher
and inventor best
known for his work
particularly wearable
computing .
Technology used..
Display Types Various techniques have existed for see through HMDs.
Some Main Families:-
Curved Mirror :- used by Vuzix, by Olympus, and Laster technologies.
Waveguide or Light guide based :- used by Sony, Epson.
Virtual Retinal Displays :- technology that draws a raster display(like telivision onto the retina of eye).
Technical Illusions CastAR :- uses a different technique with clear glass. The Glass has a projector, and image is returned to the eve by a reflective surface.
Augmented Reality(AR)
• Is a direct/indirect view of physical, real world environment.
• By contrast Virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.
• Augmentation is conventionally in real time and in semantic context with environment elements, such sports scores on TV during a match.
• With help of AR Technology information of real world becomes interactive and digitally manipulable.
Head-mounted display(HMD)
• It is a device paired to forehead such as a helmet.
• It place images of both the physical world and virtual objects over the user’s field of view.
Hardware
• Processors.
• Display.
• Sensors.(GPS, accelerometer, and solid state compass)
• Input devices.
• Vuzix M300.
• Epson Moverio BT-300.
• Sony SmartEyeGlass.
• Jins Meme.
Different models available…
1. Vuzix M300.• Launched in 2013.
• Runs on Android(all latest versions), with 2 G.B. Ram and 16 G.B. internal storage.
• Comes with 13-mega pixel camera for taking pictures and head tracking support and dual cancelling microphones.

2. Epson Moverio BT-300.
• Launched in Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 22, 2016 at Mobile World congress.
• Comes with a 5 megapixels front facing camera.
• It runs on Android Lollipop.
• Epson plans to sell the Moverio BT-300 smart glasses by this year’s end.
• It uses significantly sharper 720p HD resolution OLED display.
• Market price $750.
3. Sony Smart Eye Glass.

Weight approx. 77 g (2.7 oz) without controller.
Supports devices running Android 4.4 and above.
Market Price $840 .
4. Jins Meme.
• Tokyo based Jins demoed its Meme smart glasses over in 2015 and while they haven't gone on sale yet.
• Detects body movements to track and alert on safety, health and fitness.
• They can track tiredness and alert drivers who may be about to nod off.
• There's still no details on US or UK pricing , but in Japan its 39000 JPY.
TWO TYPES
A. Glasses with one display.
Glasses with one display in peripheral vision
Can: Display information.
Be “smart” (sensing, processing, actuation) .
Can not: Produce 3D content.
Create a virtual or diminished reality.
Fully exhaust the possibilities of augmented reality.
B. Glasses with two display.
Can be used to create:
Virtual reality.
Augmented reality.
Diminished reality.
