The Meme, while lacking in the creative name department, takes a different approach to smartglasses than other gadgets in that they actually look like regular glasses. The Japanese company behind, JINS, is currently looking for developers for its new gadget but has promised that the smartglasses will go on sale sometime next year.

What happens when a company that makes old-fashioned spectacles attempts smartglasses? You get something like Meme, from Japanese glasses maker JINS. Still in prototype stage, and courting developers, the glasses will go on sale early this year for around $800 — a strategy that hasn’t really stopped Google Glass. However,let’s get out of the way what Meme doesn’t do. There’s no screen, there’s no cameras. There’s no voice activation or commands. But when I put them on, they feel like… glasses, and after testing some (if not all) of other smartglasses, it was a relief. Is less more? JINS is hoping so.
