alegre industrial studio has designed the first optic glasses which includes an electronic device inside the frame that interacts with smartphones, tablets and personal computers. the smartglasses are capable of communicating with the wearer and alerting them of any kind of notification, and can be used for remotely activating photo cameras, controlling slide presentations, playing music, skipping tracks or adjusting one’s mobile phone volume.

powered by a bluetooth 4.0 chip built into the frame, the glasses – when connected with an app to the user’s smartphone or tablet – interact with the user via LED, only visible to the wearer, which lights up in different colors and flashing patterns.

available for both iOS and android, allows the user to choose when and what the LED lights up for; to notify an incoming call or message, an e-mail, an SMS, an event in the user’s social networks or an alarm.

the glasses produced by ION eyewear also incorporate two buttons that make it possible to operate the smartphone or tablet remotely and thus take pictures, activate voice and video recorders or play or pause music. the WeON glasses have been developed as an open source design, to allow developers the adapt existing apps to the smart device.

 the glasses will be available in optician’s shops and tech stores, in both the EU and the USA, may 2014
