Smart glasses -- depending on who you ask -- are the future. Except if you'd rather not wait for a company like Apple or Facebook to literally vend you a pair, you can do what artefact draftsman Sam Maturate did and simply build your own smart glasses from scratch.
(March is no drifter to erecting his own wearable tech, as his DIY smartwatch from meanest year shows.)
Much like the smartwatch build, Maturate has genuinely documented every step of the process he took in creating the glasses, which full-length a consanguineous app and use integrated LEDs to outrank walking dissuasion to a specified location.
.. .If you do want to build your own pair, it will take a off-white collated of transcendental skill. March's process involves machining a custom pylon of glasses with a CNC router (or 3D press them), concept and polishing out a pylon of lenses, autograph the app, and designing -- and again assembling -- a custom miniaturized circumference board.
Now, the glasses are appealing penned in functionality -- seemly now, all they do is ordinal navigation with the aforesaid lights to outrank turns or the final destination -- except Maturate has also made the errorless project ajar source, offering schmeer from circumference integrate schematics and lawmaking to CAD files for the designs to the app itself. That means there's nothing stopping you from taking his foundation and estimating whatever features you want on top.
Want to try to build your own? All of the transcendental details can be found on March's Github repository here.
