Sony's New Wearable Module Clips Onto Regular Classes

— December 17, 2014 — Tech
Sony's latest smart eyewear may not have a name yet but it does have a variety of awesome features. For one, it has stand-alone functionality and is equipped with a pixel-heavy OLED display. This eyewear can be clipped onto regular sunglasses and fashion eyewear. Weighing in at only 40 grams, it features a pair of modules that are situated above each ear along with a 0.23-inch display.

The display offers a 640 x 400 resolution and is designed to not dominate the user's field of view.

Display aside, the eyewear comes with an ARM Cortex A7 processor and a 400 mAh battery, in addition to Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity.

This smart eyewear isn't ready for a widespread consumer roll-out yet however, so Sony is looking to supply a limited number of units to developers. Developers can then either host an app on a paired smartphone or load it directly onto the eyewear module.
Trend Themes
1. Stand-alone Functionality - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating smart eyewear that can function independently, without the need for a paired smartphone.
2. Pixel-heavy OLED Display - Disruption can be achieved by developing smart eyewear with high-resolution OLED displays that enhance the user's visual experience.
3. Clippable Modules - Innovative potential lies in designing smart eyewear modules that can be easily clipped onto regular sunglasses or fashion eyewear, providing a seamless and customizable experience.
Industry Implications
1. Technology Hardware - The technology hardware industry can explore opportunities to develop and manufacture advanced smart eyewear with stand-alone functionality and high-quality OLED displays.
2. Fashion - The fashion industry can embrace the trend of clippable smart eyewear modules, collaborating with tech companies to create stylish and functional eyewear accessories.
3. App Development - App developers have a chance to create innovative applications specifically designed for smart eyewear, enhancing the user experience and expanding the functionality of these devices.
