Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Shades That Let You Read People Better

— January 14, 2010 — Unique
Finally, here comes a device that allows you to talk to your good friend with that annoying voice face to face without actual having to hear their voice. Introducing the “Emmerse” -- a device that is built into a pair of super specs that literally allows you to see what the person you are conversing with is saying.

Not only that, but they display the emotions of the other person (whether they’re using an angry tone or not) as well as identify objects in your peripherals by using little icons. How cool is that?!

These super specs also come with a wristband that allows you to type in text and it is then projected aloud by an automated voice. With super specs you’ll now be able to fake sincerity so you’re girlfriend will really think you adored that chick flick. On a serious note though, super specs may just revolutionize communications for the deaf and dumb.
Trend Themes
1. Super Specs for Enhanced Communication - The Emmerse device offers an innovative way of communicating with others by displaying their words and emotions through a pair of glasses.
2. Emotional Recognition Technology - The Emmerse device's ability to recognize and display emotions opens up opportunities for further development in emotion recognition technology.
3. Wearable Technology for Accessibility - The super specs have the potential to revolutionize communications for the deaf and hard of hearing by offering them an alternative way to communicate with others.
Industry Implications
1. Augmented Reality - The technology used in the Emmerse device can be applied in the development of augmented and mixed reality solutions.
2. Healthcare - Wearable technology like the Emmerse device can be applied in the healthcare industry to assist healthcare professionals in better understanding their patients' emotional state.
3. Personal Communication Devices - The development of super specs offers an opportunity for the personal communication device industry to expand their product offerings with wearable technology.
