A Boston-based optical company Laforge has recently joined in on the action in the world of wearable technology in creating a smart glass called the Icis. The creatives manage to take the aesthetics of the newest wearable technology to the next level by creating more fashionable options for its collection of smart glasses.
Icis is a collection of computing glasses that users can wear as normal glasses and can integrate them into their lives with ease. The project was inspired by a project the CEO of Laforge Corey Mack was planning while he was studying at the Rochester Institute of Technology. "We determined the problem with that is that people don't have their smartphones on them at all times," says Mack on his initial thoughts on starting the project.
