If you know someone who loves their glasses, or you’re a stylish and bespectacled guy or gal yourself, you may want to gather ‘round and take a closer look at this latest development in eyewear.
Feast your long- and/or short-sighted eyes on these smart new glasses!

Are my eyes deceiving me? The Vue smart glasses look like a dream come true! It allows you to answer calls, listen to music, track your fitness activity, listen to navigation instructions, charge wirelessly when you’re asleep, connect to other smart devices… and most importantly, correct your vision with prescription lenses.
The gesture control for the various functions might make you look like you’ve got some strange compulsive behaviours, but at least you’d look cool doing so; they come in two styles - Classic and Trendy - in a few colours with a few trims (plain chocolate brown for me, thanks!)
The feature I’m most excited about (other than being able to see clearly) would have to be the ‘bone conduction’ speakers, a different sound transmission method, removing the need for earphones or headphones entirely. I wonder how it would sound? And if you could have it remove unwanted noises.
By kickstarting a revolution in smart eyewear (they’re not the first, but they’re certainly quite functional, fashionable and visually normal-looking), the day is nearing when we could be walking around with Heads-Up Displays on our glasses, making us feel a bit like Tony Stark, wearing fashionable versions of Scouters from Dragon Ball Z.

I think these Vue specs are the way of the future and a logical next step in smart devices. If you’re a wearer of glasses and a lover of technology, this may just be the best new addition to your collection of gadgets. And even if the battery runs out, well, at least you can still see clearly.
