Weon Glasses: Smart looks for smartphones

2014-02-27
hi guys this is Brian Bennett for seen it and we are at Mobile World Congress 2014 and we've been taking a look at all sorts of devices wearable technology we've got goggles watches wristbands all sorts of stuff and sometimes it can be just crazy complicated and are you really going to use that in your regular life so right now we're taking a first look at the we on glasses and if you look at this it looks just like a ordinary pair of eyeglasses has a very standard frame certainly not a Google glass device here you couldn't even tell it was anything special had any high-tech capabilities at all but what you'll notice is there's LED in the arm that will light up when notifications happen on your smartphone so if you get an email social media alert Twitter message it'll light up in the corner of your peripheral vision right there by the corner eye and you'll be able to know what's happening without actually digging into your pocket for your phone now another thing you can do is you can actually set the color for the notifications so you can have green or red or yellow whatever depending on what kind of notification comes in so one of the really interesting things about the weon glasses is that it has a way to locate it if you lose it so say you don't know where it is it could be under the couch behind the bed somewhere in the house all you got to do is go over to your smartphone open the app and it's a little radar display essentially just locate the glasses by the Bluetooth signal so you don't have to worry about you know did you leave it at home on the train or somewhere down the street hopefully every pair of eyeglasses will have this in the future so the weon glasses are expected to ship by May of 2014 and the approximate we are told it should cost them 129 euros or the u.s. dollar equivalent so that's probably going to be the same price it also will be available in America as well as Europe so there you have it folks we just took a first look at the Leon glasses at Mobile World Congress 2014 Brian Bennett frissina
