The Vue smartglasses are not like other smartglasses. Ironically, there's absolutely nothing to see when you put them on; all of the smarts are done through audio, meaning the frames and lenses are just there to keep everything strapped to your face.
\"I think glasses is one of those form factors, unlike many of these hearables, that people are super familiar with,\" says Vue co-founder Aaron Rowley as I try on the latest prototype. The number of glasses wearers in America is estimated to be just north of 60%, and that's the population Vue is targeting first.
So what do they actually do There are two main components: fitness and audio smarts. Fitness is your basic step tracking, calorie counting, distance measuring through the day. More interesting are the audio smarts, which use bone conduction audio to bypass the eardrum, letting you hear sound through the frames of the glasses.
You can also take phone calls and speak to Siri or Google Assistant, depending on which smartphone altar you worship at. On the side of the glasses are touch panels which you can tap to answer incoming calls, speak to your smart assistant, or just check how active you've been. I gave the right side a couple of taps and a voice told me how many steps I'd racked up so far that day.
So, back to who's actually going to use these. My obvious question to Rowley is whether Vue has any interest in non-glasses wearers as well, and if so, why not just make a hearable in the vein of the Bragi Dash Pro or Doppler Here One
\"We did see significant percentage of people in our pre-orders that don't wear prescription,\" he says, \"and actually interestingly enough in the US the fastest growing lens type is non-prescription lenses, so you're seeing this shift in the glasses market where people are starting to buy eyewear as more of a fashion accessory.\"
Perhaps the answer is really about what comes next. When the Vue glasses ship later this year they won't have any fancy AR tricks, but Aaron says that stuff is something that could later be added once the tech is ready. \"We're taking a few steps back from what you saw previous products in the market do, when they were heavy and bulky and had all these features - and start really simple,\" he says.
\"Hopefully we'll shift people to thinking of smartglasses as a cool normal thing, and then build up from there with advance technologies. So we think starting simple and building up is the right way to go, and for that reason we've intentionally left out cameras, augmented reality, because we think that would just scare too many people away right now because the experience isn't ready to go.\"
After raising more than $2 million on Kickstarter last year, Vue is preparing to ship by the end of 2017, and then in early 2018 move to direct sales. For that, it's planning to sell the glasses for $299 which would include a basic set of single-vision prescription lenses. For an additional cost it will offer other lenses - blue light filter, polarized etc.
\"I still think the one thing that was missing was just that thoughtful design,\" says Aaron about Snap Specs. \"You wear Spectacles out and you see the camera. People see that and they know they're not normal glasses.\"
Vue certainly has the design, but I question whether there's enough here for people, glasses wearers or not, to want to keep them on their face all day long. $2 million says I'm wrong - we'll find out soon enough.
The key benefit to most audio glasses is the way they keep your ears open and free from earbuds while still letting you enjoy music, calls, or podcasts. For sunglasses, this helps with maintaining that all-important situational awareness, especially while running or cycling.
But for those of us who rely on glasses just to be able to see our monitors, the big advantage is simplicity. Once the Vue Lite 2 are paired via Bluetooth to your phone, laptop, or tablet, you can forget all about earbuds and headphones, and just get on with your day.
To try and answer the masses question, a new hardware startup is working on a product called Vue Smart Glasses. Rather than get too cute or too futuristic, they are making the everyday, normal spectacles smart. According to the Vision Council of America, four billion adults worldwide wear glasses for vision correction.
If you lose your glasses and have eyesight too poor to look for them, a feature called Find My Glasses helps you to locate them through the app on your phone. If you get lost while jogging, Vue can navigate you without looking at your phone.
Vue is looking to bring its smart but practical glasses to the market come July 2017 for early backers. The early feedback from masses will decide if it will go the way of Google Glass, or become a breakthrough wearable technology.
With so much going on, how can you not appreciate this kind of development within the smart glasses space It is quite inspiring to witness companies throw their ideas into the arena, case and point Vue Smart Glasses. Stylish and discreet, Vue smart glasses are more than just another pair of glasses. The Vue frames have not only been designed with the kind of integrated technology, that is seamless and invisible, the glasses also brag smart features such as streaming wireless audio via bone conduction speakers, tracking steps, calories and distance and notifications when you receive an email or text message.
When it comes to impressive tech specs, Vue uses bone conduction audio technology to transfer stereo sound to your inner ear without the use of earbuds. What this means is that your ears remain unplugged, so you can listen to music, answer calls, and hear notifications all from your glasses while still being able to hear the world around you. Another tech feature worth mentioning is gesture control. This is a design perk that allows you to navigate your Vue with a convenient touch interface embedded into the arm of the frames. With no ports or buttons, we love that Vue smart glasses have been designed to give the wearer a non- intrusive experience.
With some time left on their Kickstarter campaign, the Vue smart glasses have already tempted over 2k backers to the tune of $523k. Their initial goal was $50k. Interested parties can still pledge for a pair of the smart glasses. Starting from $179, you can take advantage of the 33% off the expected retail price of $269. Your pledge will include Single Vision Prescription, Tinted or Plano (non-prescription) lenses and a charging case.
Available in a variety of different colors, textures, and shapes, Vue smart glasses have been designed in a way that allows you to embrace your individual and unique style. Besides wanting you to look good, Vue also wants to look after your eyes. In order to do that, they have partnered up with an FDA-certified lens manufacturer. This means that you will have the option of prescription (including progressive), photochromic transition, polarized, and prescription polarized lenses.
So if smart glasses hold your interest, we are certain that you are not alone. Vue is just the beginning of what will soon become the kind of reality that will allow us to create our own custom gestures and features, like nod to answer a call or shake your head to ignore a call. With every new and brilliant idea, the smart glasses revolution gains momentum and that in our book is not a bad thing.
Good news: smart glasses with no camera or screen are coming on the market. The great thing about these glasses isn't the lack of cameras and screens. It's that they can pass as totally normal, everyday prescription glasses or sunglasses (or both).
Vue glasses will come in two styles (\"Classic\" and \"Trendy\"), three colors (black, white and brown) plus five options for the temples (black, \"carbon fiber,\" \"wood,\" brown and blue) and three lens types (prescription, sunglasses and \"fashion\" -- where you just wear glasses for the look).
All the \"smart\" interface elements are hidden. Sure, if you look carefully at the earpiece or curve of the temple (the part of the glasses that hook around your ears), they do look fat. Unlike Google Glass, which are fat on one side and basically wire thin on the other, both Vue temples are the same size, with the bulk of the electronics on one side and the battery on the other.
Vue smart glasses have bone-conduction pads on both sides (Google Glass needed optional earbuds because the design allowed bone conduction on one side only), a tiny LED light on the inside of the temple near the frame on the right side and a tiny microphone embedded in the right temple. A touch screen graces the outside of the temple on the right side -- but they don't look like they're touch controls.
The best thing about bone conduction is that you get sound without anything entering or covering your ears. So you can have access to the audio cues all day without the discomfort of wearing earbuds. And if you do need to listen to music or take a longer call, your ears are free and you can do so without removing the glasses. (Note that bone conduction technology is not an acceptable replacement for earbuds when it comes to music. It's fine for notifications and even short phone calls. But the audio quality is nowhere near even cheap earbuds or headphones.)
An accompanying app will run on iOS and Android, and will provide a range of features and options. For example, you can track your glasses if you lose them, monitor your steps, and get estimates of distance traveled and calories burned.
You can charge Vue glasses by inserting them into the included charger case. Like Apple's AirPods, the Vue glasses' case includes its own battery, so you can charge the glasses on the go without plugging into an outlet. Vue claims up to three days of standby time with the glasses themselves, and up to seven days of standby battery life when you combine the total charge of the glasses and case.
Vue glasses represent an emerging category of invisible smart glasses that make the gadgetry invisible by abandoning optics -- no cameras, no screens. Other contenders in this space include Zungle Panther sunglasses and VSP Level glasses. 59ce067264
