All About the New Minimis Glass

A gadget you must have!

Despite the years of backbreaking work, many smart shade companies have foundered in their mission to find a firm footing in the wearable industry. Their touted attempts were overlooked by the tech enthusiasts and users, presumably because they found them impractical and uninteresting. However, a Sydney based startup is quite optimistic to design, develop and sell its smart glasses, targeting the athletes (runners and cyclists). Let’s have a look at the features and benefits they will be offering to the users to attract them. 

What's new for fitness enthusiasts and athletes?

While cycling or running, it is quite distracting and risky to hold or use your phone. You might bump into a tree or a passing vehicle while you are fully engrossed in your phone, either monitoring your fitness or navigating the GPS. To end your problems, an Australian based company known as Minimis Technology has introduced its first finest smart glasses. This new gadget is called Minimis Glass that presents the statistics (speed, distance, time and heart rate.) maps and route information right before the wearer's eyes through the HUD navigation system. This gadget gives real time performance data, allowing users to track and monitor their health and fitness.

For the safety of the cyclists, this device offers Garmin Varia that enables the rider to detect the vehicle and track the traffic behind him/her. Whether you ride on a humid, foggy or a sweaty day, it won’t blur your vision with cloudy patches like the normal glasses. The polarized transition lenses, lightens and darkens according to the daylight. These features not just protect your eyes from the ultra violet radiations but also help you to see clearly while you perform exercise. These glasses are also water resistant and do not slip from your nose bridge. You do not require your phone while wearing these shades since it offers a number of features on a custom Android OS platform. These include Bluetooth, eSIM support, ANT+, Wi-Fi facility as well as music streaming for entertainment purposes. Lastly, one amazing thing to note is that its battery lasts for 7 hours and can be charged through its charging case. 

Final thought

The exact release date of minimis glasses is still not known as the product is still in the development phase. Its success largely depends on how well it will fulfill the needs of the target users. Only the future can tell whether it will be in the limelight or not.

Smart Glasses: Why is everyone drooling over it?

A game changer

We are living in a world of connectivity and innovation. Smart glasses are one interesting addition that technology has made in the realm of wearable devices. Its initial prototype that was produced in 2012 by Google was quite clunky and expensive. But the advancement in technology made it niftier and more useful, shoving us towards a digital-physical world. These smart glasses have become mainstay in various industrial sectors. In this article, we will discuss the major benefits and features of smart glasses and learn how it works. Let’s begin!

Features and Benefits

Smart glasses have evolved a lot with time, offering sleeker designs to users and enhancing their experience by combining Augmented Reality (AR). These AR glasses have several components including sensors, lens, display, camera, microphone and speakers. The display is fused with the lenses to provide the wearer with an incredible experience. They can view the digital content which is superimposed on the physical world surroundings. The embedded sensors and camera are used for object recognition and to control the gestures. Other features like speakers and microphones are used for audio output and voice control. Your AR glasses can also be synced with your smartphones with the help of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This allows you to enjoy streaming services or use GPS to determine any location. 

Uses and Applications

Smart glasses provide you with real time stats regarding your health and fitness. You can keep a track of your daily footsteps or monitor your heart rate. Similarly, this gadget entertains users by taking them into an immersive world of gaming or streaming services (Netflix or Amazon Prime etc.) You can make calls, take photos, post anything on social media platforms and ping someone in a touchless way i.e. without clutching your phone. It can also be used for weather updates, navigation and directions, or to get a view of nearby spots. It has also improved the efficiency of various sectors. For example, retailers can get real time information related to the inventory while medical practitioners can access patient’s data. Even employees working in the manufacturing sector can receive incisive instructions which minimizes the chances of errors.

Finishing up

AR glasses are already transforming our interaction with the surrounding and the way we communicate and access information. With time many new and impressive features of smart glasses will come up i.e. smart designs, powerful processing ability and better battery life.
