Forget Google Glass, Sony's Smarteyeglass Now On Sale

NEW YORK: While the world is yet to get over the shocking demise of eye-wearable device Google Glass, Japanese multinational firm Sony has launched a cheaper edition of its device known as SmartEyeglass.

Available in the US, Britain, Germany and Japan for $840 from March, the high-tech spectacles are now on sale for pre-order bookings in Britain and Germany, CNET reported.

Though not as elegant as Google Glass, the SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 is like regular spectacles with a transparent screen in the lenses.

The wearer can see features like e-mails and notifications floating in front of his or her eyes.

Once paired with the smartphone, the Sony glasses can show you what is going on with the apps in your pocket.

Sony's glasses connect with a wire to a hockey puck-sized control unit that holds the battery, speaker, microphone and touch controls.
