Human
Capable Inc. introduced Norm Glasses at CES 2019. Norm glasses look barely
distinguishable from regular sunglasses, yet they have a “mini computer”
embedded inside the frame, including CPU, memory, battery, speakers,
microphones, camera, and a display system that can project digital information
into the user’s field of view.
Visitors
to the booth were amazed by its form factor with the consideration of its
capability; some saying, “I knew that someday, sooner or later, smart glasses
would look like normal glasses. You guys made it a reality today.”; or, “Wow,
it is magic.”Based on design, functionality, consumer appeal, engineering,
etc., Norm Glasses was named as a CES 2019 Innovation Award Honoree.
Using
Norm Glasses, the user can see instructions while keeping hands busy on work,
see and respond to text messages, answer or make phone calls, navigate while
keeping eyes on the street, check stock prices, call an Uber, etc. For the
editions equipped with a camera, it can also scan barcodes, take pictures, or
record videos. It supports live streaming/broadcast, and remote assistance. Norm
Glasses have voice recognition that doesn’t depend on an internet connection,
and the user can interact with Norm using voice. In addition, a finger-movement
based interaction solution is in the pipeline.
