Let’s admit it, we can’t live without our phones. And there’s no way we can survive a day without it. Today, keeping in touch with the digital world is a basic necessity and no one wants to be left behind. But of course, it’s impossible for us to stay glued on our phone’s screen every single second of the day. Whether we like it or not, we still have other important things to do. However, it would be nice if we can access our phones anytime while we’re in the middle of doing something. A device that can function as a hands-free phone? The tech-god hears our prayers. Meet the Norm Glasses, a pair of augmented reality glasses that offers a hands-free connection to your digital world.
A fully-functioning minicomputer in the form of sunglasses, these next generation smart glasses provide head-up display with myriad of functionalities.
