What are smart glasses?
Smart glasses are technologically advanced wearable devices designed to provide a unique experience to their users. These models work with augmented reality tools. They also provide access to a wide variety of digital and interactive content.
On the other hand, smart glasses also allow you to connect to other devices and Wi-Fi networks. In this way, you can search the Internet, open applications and social networks.
Some smart glasses have been designed to take pictures and record videos. These models with built-in cameras are also suitable for code scanning and virtual token recognition. Similarly, there are glasses that work with voice recognition and facial recognition.
How do smart glasses work?
Generally speaking, smart glasses work in a similar way to a smartphone or a smartwatchbut with a visual focus. These models use small projectors and special lenses, which can be transparent or anti-glare. Thanks to this, wearers can observe their surroundings and consume digital content at the same time.
As mentioned above, many smart glasses also include cameras and microphones in their designs. Also common is the use of gyroscopes, accelerometers and other sensors, which offer a better augmented reality experience. In addition, there are already several models that work with artificial intelligence.
Smart glasses have internal batteries and come with a charging case. The battery of a pair of smart glasses offers up to four hours of moderate use.
What do smart glasses do?
Through smart sunglasses many companies are looking to broaden the perception of their users and allow them to connect with the environment in different ways. Augmented reality is one of the main applications of smart glasses. However, this is not the only thing they can be used for.
Smart glasses can become a good alternative for people with certain visual impairments or other forms of disability. Some models work with geolocation and assisted navigation, which facilitates the mobility of their users. This, together with other functions such as reading gestures and overlaying digital data in real time, add to the usefulness of this type of glasses.
Do smart glasses help vision?
It is important to keep in mind that not all models of smart glasses are made for this purpose. In fact, the most popular smart glasses on the market are not intended to correct vision.
Having clarified this, there are some models of smart glasses that support the use of prescription lenses or smart lenses for prescription glasses. Unfortunately, in these cases you will most likely be forced to contact the manufacturer directly and place a custom order.
