Google Glass New Alternative --> GlassUp


The GlassUp eyeglasse: http://www.glassup.net/

It report the users for incoming e-mails, text messages, tweets, Facebook updates, maps,  Augmented Reality (AR) . 

The GlassUp eyeglasses report the incoming e-mails, text messages, tweets, Facebook updates, and other messages, so that the user can keep abreast on what is going on in this big world. The message is shown for only a few instants, on the side of the field of view, in an unobtrusive manner.


Glass-Up Specifications: 

  • Weight around 65 grams (tested on our first prototype)
  • On board OS: Android
  • Sensors: accelerometer, compass, ambient light sensor, precision altimeter, perhaps more (the GPS is already on your smartphone, so we don’t need it)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth LE
  • Optical system, made of a display and a set of lenses and mirrors. The resolution of the display is 320×240. If you ask more details on the optics, you’re a competitor.
  • One day of battery life recharge via mini-usb
  • Lenses: Lenses will be slightly tinted
  • Controls: A touch-pad, with the usual controls (tap, double tap, long press, swipe vertically and horizontally), we are deciding now which ones to keep for us to on/off the projector (probably the long press), the others will be left to the developers to manage the apps.
  • Color combinations: The frame you see in the video is red on white, it’s one of the two versions we plan to sell – the other is green on black
  • Prescription glasses – we get asked all the time, and a hard one: can our GlassUp be used with your prescription lenses? The lens of our GlassUp is very special, so you can not replace it with yours. We are working on a solution. We’ll likely be able to accommodate simple vision defects at a small cost.
There enthusiastic team looking for new ideas and applications for ourGlass-Up smart glasses.
