It seems that the road to smart glasses is completely downhill. In this format we will not only have the offer of the pioneering Google GlassBut some other companies already work on similar models. Sony has been the last to get on the boat and has registered a patent for smart glasses that have the peculiarity of have two screens, one for each eye. The patent application arrived in November 2012, so they have been working on the project for a long time and we can already see that the product is quite defined.
The Japanese company thus joins LG and Oakley. Unlike the Korean company, they do have HMD experience (Head Mounted Displays) or head-screen devices. Long ago he took out his personal 3D movie viewer, HMZ-T2 which has improved in several versions. In June 2012, they also recorded another patent of something similar to smart glasses, in which the screens also communicated outwards. Therefore, it is not surprising that they dare with a device of these characteristics.
In the current patent and like those of Google, the device is mounted on traditional glasses. Among its particularities, it should be noted that it will have two independent camerasWe do not know what will happen next with the images that they could capture simultaneously. Perhaps they could be mixed to generate 3D videos. Who knows. There's also two earphones. The screens are located behind the glasses of the glasses and their distance can be adjusted for the user's comfort.
We do not have details of the software they will use and therefore we do not know what kind of functions they could perform. However, due to the type of hardware, which we could dominate as a duplicate when compared to Glass, we can intuit that it will be a more intrusive device for the body. It will expose visual information to both eyes and also sound to both ears. It may be too much for the brain to process in which case they are applied for augmented reality.
