to immersive media consumption, some of these devices demonstrate the ongoing evolution and future possibilities of smart glasses. With continued innovation, smart glasses hold the potential to merge the digital and physical worlds in ways that were once only imagined. Despite their discreet appearance, these glasses function as a wearable camera with a dedicated button and voice commands. They have built-in speakers, save media internally (4GB), and require a Facebook account for the companion app. Concerns regarding privacy and consent have been raised due to the inconspicuous recording indicator light. Responsible use and consideration for others are essential when using wearable cameras. AMAZON ECHO FRAMES (2ND GEN) Amazon's second-generation Echo Frames are lightweight and affordable, smart glasses primarily designed for audio playback. They feature open- ear speakers that deliver clear and audible sound, making them suitable for listening to audiobooks and podcasts. The glasses include Amazon's digital assistant, Alexa, enabling voice commands and notification reading. However, they use a proprietary charging cable, which can be inconvenient if misplaced. USB-C charging would have been a more desirable feature. LENOVO THINKREALITY A3 Lenovo's ThinkReality A3 smart glasses are ideal for serious work on Windows laptops. They offer a virtual desktop with up to three screens, similar to the nReal Air, but with improved stability through Lenovo's dedicated Virtual Display Manager for Windows 10 and 11. The glasses feature advanced controls, including a gaze-based navigation system. However, their high price puts them as the most expensive option on this list. While smart glasses have yet to reach their full potential, the current generation of smart glasses has its own unique advantages. From portable workspaces 54 VISION PLUS INDIA EDITION
