Biodegradable Smart Glasses Frames

In the category of sustainable smart glasses frames, Morrama's late release, Issé, stands out. The silhouette aims to address the challenges faced by smart eyewear in becoming mainstream. While smartwatches have gained wide acceptance for their role in collecting and displaying health-related data, smart eyewear has faced hurdles, including the intimate nature of wearing a device on one's face and technological limitations. However, Morrama's Issé envisions a future where advancements in micro-LED displays, retinal projection, and solid-state batteries will make mixed-reality glasses more practical and smaller in size.

Issé, inspired by the Latin word 'issa' meaning 'oneself,' offers a solution that is both fashionable and highly customizable. The concept allows wearers to swap out frames to match specific occasions or activities, be it a casual city outing or an outdoor sports event. With 95% of the electronics concentrated in the lenses, the frames remain low-tech and easy to disassemble, which can accommodate more advanced sensors in the future. Furthermore, the use of bio-materials for frame construction, designed to biodegrade or be broken down quickly, reflects a sustainable and eco-conscious approach.
