Today we are announcing the commercialization of SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1, a transparent lens eyewear that connects with compatible smartphones to superimpose information onto the user’s field of view. SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 will be available for sale in ten countries as of March 2015, with pre-order starting already today in the UK and Germany. As of today, we are also making the official version of the SmartEyeglass SDK available, enabling developers to create unique hands-free use cases.
Features and Specifications
The Sony SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 is designed to provide an augmented reality experience by overlaying digital information onto the real world. The device features a transparent lens that allows users to see both the real world and digital information simultaneously. This makes it ideal for a variety of applications, from navigation and gaming to professional use in fields such as healthcare and engineering.
The SmartEyeglass comes equipped with a range of sensors, including an accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass, brightness sensor, and a microphone. These sensors enable the device to provide accurate and context-aware information to the user. Additionally, the SmartEyeglass includes a 3-megapixel camera that can capture photos and videos, further enhancing its functionality.
Developer Opportunities
Sony is targeting developers with the SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1, providing them with the tools they need to create innovative applications for the device. The official SmartEyeglass SDK is now available, allowing developers to build custom applications that take advantage of the device’s unique features. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for creating hands-free applications that can improve productivity, enhance entertainment experiences, and provide new ways to interact with digital content.
For example, developers can create applications that provide real-time translations of text, overlaying the translated text onto the original text in the user’s field of view. This could be particularly useful for travelers or professionals working in multilingual environments. Another potential application is in the field of healthcare, where doctors could use the SmartEyeglass to access patient information and medical records without having to look away from the patient.
