The World Top Vue Smart Glasses
Introduction:
Vue is the world’s first pair of smart glasses that are virtually indistinguishable from a standard pair of glasses. Vue raised over $2.2 M USD on Kickstarter in December 2016, making it the most crowdfunded eyewear project of all time.

Vue Smart Glasses have turned up on Kickstarter and they look more like normal glasses than other smart glasses we have talked about before. The Vue Smart Glasses on the other hand can be fitted with prescription lenses, clear lenses, or tinted/transition lenses for sunglasses and look like normal glasses. Vue glasses also don’t take photos or have integrated cameras. Vue Glasses can give you the time of day and allow you to hear prompts from navigation apps.
The battery inside the glasses is good for up to seven days on standby and the battery charges wirelessly. Lens options will include prescription, progressive lenses, photochromic transition lenses, polarized lenses, and prescription polarized lenses. Vue smart glasses are on Kickstarter seeking $50,000 and have raised over $77,000 as of writing with 44 days to go on the campaign. If you want polarized or transition lenses, you need to cough up $259 or more.
The result? Vue is less like Google Glass and more like a standard pair of glasses. "These glasses are virtually indistinguishable from other glasses you would buy," Rowley said. Think Warby Parker, not Hololens. Packed inside the Vue frames is quite a bit of technology — bone conduction pads that will allow you to pick up a phone call, a tiny LED light for notifications, a microphone, a battery, and an accelerometer for step tracking.I f you'd like to pick up a phone call, you can tap the touchscreen built into the glasses' arm, and the hidden bone conduction speakers will allow you can talk on the phone without putting in a pair of earbuds.
A smart glasses platform
According to Zhang and Rowley, the first Vue glasses, which will start to ship in July 2017, are only the beginning of this concept. In the future, they say, the glasses could be a platform for new augmented reality optics, cameras, and other cool technologies that are currently missing from the glasses in the aim of simplicity. The working prototypes I saw were 3D printed, but the Vue glasses that will go out to consumers next year will be made in volume at a factory.
the time of writing had raised over $780,000 on a goal of $50,000, it should have the funds it needs to do a full production run. They come in two styles, three colors, and a host of other personal options. Vue's frames can help you reach your fitness goals by tracking your activity throughout the day. Vue makes beautiful, discreet smart glasses. Our glasses are virtually indistinguishable from normal eyewear, just the way smart glasses should be.
WHAT ARE VUE SMART GLASSES?
According to the Vue Smart Glasses, Vue Smart glasses are unique for functioning as normal glasses at a basic level. If sunglasses are more your style, you can grab a pair with tinted lenses as well. Just good luck explaining why you still have them on in the evening. First and foremost, they function as headphones that don’t actually cover your ears, but are still only heard by you. This is great if you want to listen to music or take GPS directions while biking or navigating heavy traffic.
This allows you to also take calls with them and skip tracks when you’re listening to music. For all the fitness nerds out there, the glasses can also track your activity and set health reminders. The battery on these glasses lasts about a week if you occasionally pop them into the charging case they come with.
WHERE IS THE VUE TEAM NOW?
The last update was on the 1st of January 2019 (as of 25.01.2019). This one goes into detail about some tests they have been running on how to best assemble the glasses. It seems the compact size is proving to be an obstacle for the team. . How much stock you put into waterproof adhesive used to hold together electronics… well, since I’m no expert on t, that’s up to you to decide. Their app is also almost completed and will appear in the respective app stores shortly. However no concrete time span is given for this.
THE PRICE OF VUE
If you wish, additional charging cases can be purchased for $59. You can also get your very own Vue t-shirt for only $29. (Ironically, the most overpriced item in the store.) However it does have some competition, which is referenced also in the comments of Vue’s Kickstarter page. Of course they have the added benefit of being a product that actually exists.
PUBLIC RESPONSE
Of course as with anything that people sink a lot of money into, only to get nothing back, Vue has been getting a lot of unhappy backers in their comments. Some are making note how Vue is now, in 2019, becoming less of a novelty item and pointing out the cheaper competitors, like Bose, who are appearing on the market. However a lot of backers have noticed that the updates fail to give concrete time frames for anything final. Sadly this does not give the peace of mind to people who invested large sums of money into this product.
How Does It Work?
According to their crowdfunding page, when Vue began designing their smart glasses they started in a different place than all other smart glasses manufacturers – with the glasses themselves. Vue Smart Glasses are intended to actually be the glasses you wear for your everyday activities, first and foremost, which is why you can have them set with your own personal prescription or as sunglasses. The website promises that they will give people the chance to listen to music, make calls, listen to GPS navigation, track activity, gesture control, report time, and more

Vue Smart Glasses relies on bone conduction technology, which allows people to hear audio while still being able to hear the surroundings they are in. Though it is unclear if this company will honor refunds at this time or after the product ships, customers who are willing to take a chance on pre-ordering
