MagyarMWC 2014 | Sony teases SmartEyeglass concept
Sony revealed the SmartEyeglass concept at CES 2014 in Las Vegas and now more details about this wearable gadget have just become available. The prototype needs to work in conjunction with an Android smartphone that will run the apps feeding it with data the same way as it happens with Sony's SmartWatch 2. For now, the smart glasses can receive data via Bluetooth or WiFi.
These are the main specs of this future competitor for Google's Glass:
- Monochrome green see-through binocular eyewear display with maximum brightness of 1000 cd/m2
- Embedded camera and microphone
- Accelerometer, compass, gyro and brightness sensors
- Bluetooth 3.0
- WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
- Controller with touchpad, as well as navigation, camera and power buttons
All the above can change until the public release of the gadget, especially since controlling the glasses with the smartphone instead of a separate controller is something that most users would surely appreciate. In the meantime, Sony will also release a SDK that "is built on a similar framework as SmartWatch 2, and will allow for control of what’s displayed on the binocular see-through eyewear display, as well as access to sensors, voice input and camera."
Unfortunately, SmartEyeglass' date of release is not known at this time, but more information should become available in the near future.
