VSP Global‘s Project Genesis integrates health tracking technology into optical frames. Steps, calories burned, activity time and distance traveled are calculated by sensors at the part of the frame that touches one’s temple.
Building wearable technology into stylish glasses, worn every day to improve vision, increases the potential for mass adoption.
The prototype is now being tested on 26 of the company’s own employees.
