‘Minimis Glass’ Rolls Your Sunglasses, Smartphone, And GPS All Into One

Minimis, an Australian tech company, has unveiled a nifty new gadget: Minimis Glass smart shades. These smart glasses are ideal for fitness enthusiasts, health-conscious individuals, and tech-savvy navigators, representing a significant advancement in wearable technology.

These glasses, weighing a mere 90 grams (approximately three ounces), amplify convenience by eliminating the need for a secondary device to unlock their full potential. Users can access real-time workout data, detailed navigational maps, phone, and even connect to their favorite Spotify tunes while pairing with Bluetooth earbuds or headphones.

An OLED microdisplay occupies the upper third of the lens, ensuring that users enjoy a crystal-clear view while engaging in various activities, be it jogging through the park, taking a leisurely walk, or cycling down scenic routes.

Under the hood, these glasses come with built-in eSIM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities. They operate on a custom Android OS platform, providing a versatile and robust user experience.

Located at the temple is a discreetly placed heart rate monitor that helps health-conscious users keep track of their vital statistics with minimal fuss.

Users can expect approximately seven hours of uninterrupted use or 11 hours with intermittent usage. Regarding durability, these smart shades are well-prepared, boasting anti-fog and water-resistant properties, coupled with robust ultraviolet ray protection. Additionally, the transition lenses adeptly adjust to the surrounding light conditions, optimizing visibility.

Currently, the project is part of a campaign on Kickstarter with a reservation price of just US$699 (or 36% off its expected retail price). Plus, to sweeten the deal, Minimis Glass includes a bonus charging case, making this a compelling offer for those eager to embrace the future of smart eyewear.
