Is there something that Google glasses has not done in Smart Glasses tech

Projects General Guidance
1

HI I'm trying to make smart glasses but I found out that google glasses has nearly covered everything in glasses technology..
Do any of you have any ideas??

Thanks

How about a pair of glasses that bleep if worn on the top of the head, so you don't waste time searching for them?

U can try to make a glass that creates timers for your oven stove etc. keeps the temperature thats around you at the required temp rather than conventional average room temp that most heaters does (room by room setup and the glasses can follow which room youre in by a ir led sending room code at the ceiling (a basic location system)) or you can have it show lyrics of a song for that songs that are catchy but u dont know the lyrics to, u can try to make it show download progress of a steam game etc.. just think about what you want as a comfort in your life :3

There's certainly one thing they didn't cover - making it a viable product!

ISTR Samsung announced a product at CES this year?

Wikipedia, as always, has a long list of other contenders:

Actually, my late father could have done with some which beeped when not being worn - he kept putting them down and losing them!

Did they do wipers and defrost?

Google had lots of money, teams of very well trained and highly paid engineers, market researchers and the like, but they could not come up with anything useful enough to sell.

Evidently not, but people on this forum are all volunteers.

I get that they haven't taken everything but everything within the reach of Arduino they have that at least I can think of

@awneil

I agree that if you accidentaly lose you're glasses they are hard to find but what if I want to take a nap what if it is just beeping constantly??

thank you

and I forgot to mention the name @anon56112670

for the idea

thanks to you to

@asdfdsgtegb
I do think that this is a great idea for home automation and then I can add functions that google glasses has on top of that so thank you

12

I'm sure you could think up a solution to that ...

I think "smart glasses" are well beyond the reach of Arduino!

@awneil

I probably could have an angle sensor and if the angle is above average it will beep so that is a possibility..

14

I think that they did but people usually would like that for low prices so maybe that's a good idea..

15

@asdfdsgtegb

I think that you're idea is a good one but I don't know if all of those home devices have bluetooth modules so if they do I'll add them if they don't maybe customization is needed to my own oven...

or stove by the way

17

I agree that it might be a little bit far fetched but I'm still going to try @awneil

One more thing to all of you I think that I'm going to be doing this in micropython so if you're farmiliar with it please tell me

19

Tell you what? What do you want to know?

whether we're familiar with micropython, I guess?
