A student maker has created a pair of smart glasses that uses a transparent organic light emitting diode (OLED) display and is powered by an Arduino Nano Every.
High school student Mars Kapadia made the glasses as part of his science fair project, using The Retro Watch software running on an Android phone and an HC-05 Bluetooth module to connect to the mobile app and a LiPo battery that provides power.
The glasses can be worn both indoors and outdoors, with the display still visible via darkened lenses that can be flipped down for sun protection while outdoors.
In the video, Kapadia details how he went about creating the smart glasses as well as the technology used to make the glasses. The Retro Watch software runs through the Arduino and displays data through the lens and a smartphone app.
The smart glasses can receive notifications, phone calls and texts through the glasses via smartphone. Kapadia created his own app using open source software allowing anyone to run it on numerous phone operating systems.
