Smartglasses

Is there anyone who remembers Google Glass? Glasses equipped with augmented reality, through which it was possible to view information like on smartphones without the use of hands. A truly innovative project launched in 2013 but suspended after 3 years. Were the times not ripe?

It is news these days that now he would be trying Facebook. For a couple of years, it has been working in its Reality Labs to develop its smartglasses for augmented reality. Given the difficulties in developing the Facebook project, it turned to the excellence of world eyewear, Luxottica, which among other things had already collaborated with Google for Glass. The glasses will have to allow users to answer calls, show information on a small display and stream their point of view live to their social media contacts until they completely replace smartphones. Hopefully the glasses will be ready in 3 or 4 years, or they'll go like Google Glass…
