Japan Develops to Install GPS into Eyeglasses

A new high-tech gadget concerning eyeglasses has been seen in its prototype in Japan. This time, the device is a combination of a pair of eyeglasses and a GPS system.

This new gadget is developed by the Nakajima Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications in Japan, with the LED lights built into the eyeglass frame to help the wearer moving in the correct direction.

In the specially-made eyeglass frame, a mini micro-processor is built in. Just like the one we are using in the car, the glasses wearer needs to input the final destination he is going to reach, then the GPS eyeglasses will tell the wearer whether he is in walking in the right direction by seeing the LED light pattern. If the LED tells you that you are in the wrong way, you can just simply try other directions.

The spokesman of the project said, “With most current navigation systems, you have to look at a handset display as you walk. Looking at the screen while walking can be dangerous. But with this system, all you need to do is be aware of the LED light while you walk.”

As it is still in the stage of prototype, no one knows when this device will be in the market and in which form. High-tech does help make our life easier, but how about this GPS glasses?
