New Glasses Give The Blind Bionic Eyes, even ones that don’t look like Moby.
These glasses feature tiny forward-facing cameras and have LED displays on the lenses. By using a connected smartphone, they can process the wearer’s surroundings and point out obstacles and people. You could imagine it judging distance, movement, shape, all kinds of things.
For sufferers of near-blindness, this is a very realistic piece of life-changing tech. Bonus points if it gets developed into stylish hipster frames!
