In an effort to compete with Google Glass, gesture control company EyeSight Mobile has partnered with smart glass company Lumus. The combination allows one to browse Facebook, play games, or control navigation instructions shown in a head-up display by holding out a finger to tap on icons or swipe away notifications. EyeSight plans to add the ability to drag items around the display.
The Lumus glasses mount a transparent 640×480 display onto the lens of the battery-powered, head-tracking glasses. The wearer can see information overlaid on top, and the glasses change what’s shown according to the wearer’s orientation. The glasses have a camera, an OMAP 4 processor, and Android 4.1.2, to run EyeSight’s gesture recognition software, which recognizes fingers and hands even against a cluttered or moving backdrop.
