It can be added by voice or action to add schedules, map navigation, A general term for such a type of glasses that interacts with friends, takes photos and videos, conducts video calls with friends, and enables wireless network access via a mobile communication network.
The development of smart glasses will become another important leap forward in the history of human science and technology. It is not only a product that makes people excited, but also will bring great changes to our lives, if it can succeed and is universal If we use it in our daily life, then its own functions will make us stunned.
There is no exact definition of smart glasses, and there are no products that have been officially released. But from the test version that google glasses have come out, smart glasses are products that integrate displays, cameras, cpu and networking devices into glasses.
Smart glasses generally have the following core functions1. Watch and follow. It's easy to take photos and videos at any time and place, and it's more secretive. However, it also infringes on privacy and invites criticism. Smart glasses with voice camera function, voice call function, map navigation function is the most basic function.
2. Stay connected at all times. Not subject to the need for a mobile phone to operate, it is convenient for many occasions. Such as: driving, talking, in motion.
3. The accompanying function of the accompanying shot: dynamic field of view analysis. When you look at an unknown item or a stranger, you can search for relevant information in sync.
Today's smart glasses are still in a state of development, so its functions are still limited, only video recording, text messaging and some text translation functions, as well as directions. Now the function of smart glasses has only reached this level, and it seems to be unremarkable. However, if researchers continue to research and develop, the field of smart glasses is infinitely broad, and it will replace many existing products to realize human activities. . Let's take a look at some areas where smart glasses will go into function.
The first is GPS navigation. We all know that mobile phones have navigation functions, so many people use their mobile phones to navigate while driving, but using mobile phones while driving can be distracting. At this time, if you wear smart glasses, then the problem can be solved. Smart glasses can not only find directions in advance but also accept voice navigation.

There are many more functions of smart glasses, and the ways in which different fields are implemented have their own merits. If smart glasses can be developed better, then it is undoubtedly the gospel of mankind.
