his aunt Eckler could be the future of drunk piloting its absence mo very oh BTW 300 smart glasses let's take a look so let's start by explaining a little bit about how these work now hidden in these panels on the side here are tiny OLED displays you can see a disembodied version of that tiny tiny screen just here now the image from those panels is bounced around the front to these squarish looking areas here and what that means is that you get a hovering transparent screen in the center of your field of view when you put them on that's a little harder unfortunately to show on video but I can say that when you're wearing these things the image is pretty impressive it's very sharp and there's a pleasant transparency to the image as well it feels very futuristic this is minority report style tech so there are bunch of different applications you could have for this but what I think is possibly the most exciting is the idea of using it to pilot your drone so if you have a drone that has a camera you could pop these on hook it up and then when you're flying your robot around you'll be able to see what it sees which makes it easier to frame up those amazing shots it's going to be out late 2016 now unlike some other smart glasses once in the past like Google glass I don't think these are really intended to be worn around with you every day it's more like you would put them on when you're going to do a specific task and like piloting a drone on the front here that's a 5-megapixel front-facing camera inside it's powered by an Intel Atom x5 processor and it's running Android version 5.1 to control what you see on screen you'll be using this remote so they're not especially stylish I have to say but every year these things get slightly skinnier slightly slimmer slightly better looking so yeah look I think is positive for these augmented reality glasses that's all for now check out cnet com / mwc for much more
