Things You Can Do With Bluetooth Sunglasses
Things You Can Do With Bluetooth Sunglasses
Let us not be shy about it: When you use Bluetooth-enabled sunglasses and eyewear devices, you are officially living in the science fiction era. It's no joke, you really have joined the era of *Star Trek*. We're only a holodeck and transporter away from exploring the galaxy and talking to Vulcans and Klingons now.
Most of the functions of Bluetooth sunglasses involve features that have nothing to do with protecting your eyes from the sun. Instead, they have built-in digital capabilities which take advantage of the fact that eyewear touches both your eyes and ears.
One such device is the built-in MP3 player and speakers. Now the glasses are a headset of sorts, with USB storage onboard and speakers built right into the parts by the ear. Now you have musical sunglasses. Some of these store up to a gigabyte of music, and can talk to any other Bluetooth-enabled device, so your computer at home can download and store your music, and you can upload your playlist and MP3 to your sunglasses. Is this amazing or what?
How about built-in phone capability? It makes sense to combine a headset phone and sunglasses. You can build the headset bit into your sunglasses bit, and then you can walk around talking hands-free without looking like the Borg got you (we'll be keeping the *Star Trek* jokes at a constant rate here, get used to them).
How about capabilities involving the video instead of the audio? They also make so-called "spy" sunglasses with hidden camera and video recorder, so you can record a you-eye view of whatever you're looking at. This helps if you're on the away team and need the science officer on deck to analyze the alien you're looking at (we told you!). However, should you hit the beach in your video-camera shades and find yourself walking behind a bikini-clad sweetie, well, we didn't mean to put ideas into your head.
Furthermore, each of the above capabilities can be built into the same unit. And with head-up displays and video-aided visual displays, common in industrial use, you could have an image projected onto the glasses as well.
You can wait for your Borg implant or you can get these today. What can you be with them? Could you start your own superhero persona? We don't see any reason why not.
