Sony’s new headset display turns regular glasses into Google Glass

Sony earlier this year introduced its Project Morpheus VR headset and showed the world that the Japanese firm had no fear in fighting for a pie in virtual reality segment. Earlier this year, the company also announced its interest in the augmented reality with the unveiling of the SmartEyeglass prototype at IFA. The company has now announced an attachable Single-Lens Display Module that can turn a regular eyewear into smart, augmented reality glasses like Google Glass. Sony announced plans to reveal its new Single-Lens Display Module at CES in January for the first time and will showcase it as a concept device called “SmartEyeglass Attach.” The company aims to start mass production of the Single-Lens Display Module next year and also confirmed that it will provide software development kits (SDK) to partnering organisations (as announced for the SmartEyeglass prototype in September). Sony stressed that with its display module, “it is looking to provide the product to a wide variety of potential customers.”
