2020: The Era Of Smart Eyewear

Virtual reality seems to be soon taking a front seat in eyewear! With the latest technology innovations, brands like Samsung and many others are ready to offer augmented reality devices and that too through eyewear…

A common notion among people is that by 2020 smartphones will be replaced by smart contact lenses, eyewear, watches and in-ear audio plugs, etc. Simply put, there will be devices that communicate with wearable computers. In the near future, the numbers of wearables around us will be substantial.

With smart glasses bound to grow in popularity, pretty soon the demand for more innovations in the wearable technology category is guaranteed to increase. In fact, wearable technology is the next big thing when it comes to the future of gadgets. Brands like Google and Samsung made the initial foray long time ago and it is not going to be long before the results of their efforts will dominate the industry.

And it all started…

The experiences with the Google glass managed to create headlines. In fact, the head-mounted display had quite an eventful journey in its prototype stage itself. Soon after Samsung also announced plans of embarking on a similar mission.  It all started with the Korean giant registering the name Gear Blink.

At first, anxious fans thought this was the name of the Galaxy Glass Headset. But it turns out that Samsung may be hiding bigger plans. Gear Blink could be Samsung’s smart contact lens. Yes! A simple lens that will connect the wearer to their smartphone via the eye.
