Back in February, the new Sony SmartEyeglass Developer Edition went up for pre-order, and now Sony has launched the device in a number of countries.
The company has started shipping out their new Sony SmartEyeglass device in four countries, which include the UK, US, Germany, and Spain. Additionally, the device can also be ordered in a number of other countries.
Features and Capabilities of Sony SmartEyeglass
The Sony SmartEyeglass is designed to provide augmented reality experiences by overlaying digital information onto the real world. The device features a transparent lens display that allows users to see both the real world and digital information simultaneously. This makes it ideal for applications such as navigation, notifications, and real-time data display.
The video below gives us a look at the developer edition of Sony’s SmartEyeglass and some of the features on the device.
The SmartEyeglass includes a variety of sensors such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass, brightness sensor, and a microphone. These sensors enable the device to understand the user’s environment and provide relevant information accordingly. For instance, the gyroscope and compass can be used for precise navigation, while the microphone allows for voice commands.
Availability and Pricing
The additional countries where the Sony SmartEyeglass can be ordered from today include France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands. This broad availability indicates Sony’s commitment to making augmented reality accessible to developers and early adopters across the globe.
Prices for the device are $820 in the US, £620 in the UK, and €800 in Europe. While the price may seem steep, it is important to consider the advanced technology and potential applications of the SmartEyeglass. Developers can leverage this device to create innovative applications that could revolutionize industries such as healthcare, education, and entertainment.
For example, in healthcare, SmartEyeglass could be used by surgeons to access patient data and imaging without taking their eyes off the patient. In education, it could provide students with interactive learning experiences by overlaying information onto physical objects. In entertainment, it could offer immersive gaming experiences by integrating digital elements into the real world.
