Post navigation Smart glasses, or augmented reality glasses, are a new type of wearables that utilize a combination of artificial intelligence and sensors to present digital information in the form of images, text, or even GPS directions. They can provide information directly to the user via a heads-up display, and can be used in a variety of settings, from entertainment to medical diagnosis. Three of the most promising models on the market now are Google Glass, Epson’s Moverio BT-300, and Vuzix Blade, each offering unique capabilities. A 15-year-old teen in New York City has been charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime in the killing of a dancer in a housing project. The teen allegedly stabbed the victim repeatedly in the neck and arms, resulting in his death.
