Welcome to this website presentation, which consists of a review and critical analysis of smart glasses.
This project was created for the course ETEC 523: Mobile & Open Learning in the Master of Educational Technology (MET) program at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, by student Eduardo Rebagliati.
​
The presentation is divided into the following sections:
Smart glasses are wearable computer glasses that project digital information and objects to the field of view of the wearer. They are often associated with augmented reality (AR) as it allows users to experience a real-world environment that’s enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information.
It is clear that the use of smart glasses has many benefits in various industries such as healthcare, security, mechanics, entertainment, sports, fashion, as well as in daily life activities. Similarly, smart glasses have a lot of potential for future developments and refinements, which makes them a promising tool in the mobile culture. However, there are some disadvantages and current issues that will need to be solved before this technology becomes more popular and integrated into our culture and lives.
