With the Lumus glasses, you'll be be able to watch videos and connect to the Internet wherever you are. These hi-tech glasses, created by the Israeli company Lumus, will display a virtual screen that lets you connect and view your surroundings, access online content and even play video games.
The Lumus glasses project a 720p, 87-inch screen about 10 feet in front of you, says PSFK. Only you will be able to see what's on the screen, and what you see will be a semi-transparent overlay onto real-life things so the glasses won't completely obscure your vision. Other functions of the Lumus glasses include checking your email, getting GPS info, watching a movie and surfing the Internet. When you don't want to perform any of these tasks, just switch the glasses off to make the display disappear. According to the brand, the Lumus glasses offer an "unobtrusive, natural look and feel of regular eyeglasses, which can be worn all day, even when screen is off."
