we've been hearing so much about smartwatches recently that it's easy to forget they're not the only kind of wearable around we're here at E for 2014 in Berlin taking a look at Sony's smart glass concept so for now the design is a little clunky but what these basically do is something very similar to Google glass and that is to to project an image in front of you in your field of vision for now this is controlled using this external pad here there's a touch pad on there as well and a button to activate the camera that you can see here on the front however Sony tells me that eventually these things will be able to monitor your eyes movements to handle things like scrolling that way so what are you going to actually use these things for well Sony's given us a few examples for instance you could have a recipe up on the screen to keep your hands-free while you're cooking you could wear them while out and about walking down the street to use augmented reality to identify what buildings around you are or my personal favorite because these things are in contact with your phone you can use facial recognition to look at the database of the images in your contacts and recognize the people around you and maybe even tell you where you know them from saving you social embarrassment so as mentioned this is only a concept for now so don't expect to be able to buy it anytime soon but it's definitely a cool demonstration of what some smart glasses could do so stay tuned I'm the Westway pussy net checkout senior comm / ether for much more Oh
