# Smart Eyewear Concepts Sony's New Wearable Module Clips Onto Regular Classes By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-12-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-eyewear References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/sony-prototype-smart-headset-module/35261/) & [sony.net](http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201412/14-118E/) Sony's latest smart eyewear may not have a name yet but it does have a variety of awesome features. For one, it has stand-alone functionality and is equipped with a pixel-heavy OLED display. This eyewear can be clipped onto regular sunglasses and fashion eyewear. Weighing in at only 40 grams, it features a pair of modules that are situated above each ear along with a 0.23-inch display. The display offers a 640 x 400 resolution and is designed to not dominate the user's field of view. Display aside, the eyewear comes with an ARM Cortex A7 processor and a 400 mAh battery, in addition to Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity. This smart eyewear isn't ready for a widespread consumer roll-out yet however, so Sony is looking to supply a limited number of units to developers. Developers can then either host an app on a paired smartphone or load it directly onto the eyewear module. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stand-alone Functionality:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating smart eyewear that can function independently, without the need for a paired smartphone. - **Pixel-heavy OLED Display:** Disruption can be achieved by developing smart eyewear with high-resolution OLED displays that enhance the user's visual experience. - **Clippable Modules:** Innovative potential lies in designing smart eyewear modules that can be easily clipped onto regular sunglasses or fashion eyewear, providing a seamless and customizable experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology Hardware:** The technology hardware industry can explore opportunities to develop and manufacture advanced smart eyewear with stand-alone functionality and high-quality OLED displays. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can embrace the trend of clippable smart eyewear modules, collaborating with tech companies to create stylish and functional eyewear accessories. - **App Development:** App developers have a chance to create innovative applications specifically designed for smart eyewear, enhancing the user experience and expanding the functionality of these devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Discreetly Connected AR Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everysight-maverick.md) - [DIY AR-Functioned Monocle Clip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monocle-1.md) - [Open-Source AI Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-glasses.md) - [Consumer-Focused Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vuzix-z100-smart.md) - [Demure Display-Equipped Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-rayban-display-sunglasses.md) - [Productivity-Focused Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-airvision-m1.md) - [AR-Enabled Sports Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engo-2.md) - [Advanced AI-Integrated Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memomind-smart-glasses.md) - [Apparel-Branded Smart Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-smart-eyewear.md)
