Smartglasses
Also known as: Smart Glasses, AR Glasses, Connected Glasses
Eyewear with integrated computing capabilities including sensors, displays, cameras, and connectivity that overlay digital information onto the wearer's field of view or provide hands-free access to computing functions. Smartglasses encompass several subcategories: passive glasses tracked by external sensors, connected glasses with embedded sensors that stream data to other devices, and full smartglasses with integrated displays. For accessibility, smartglasses offer potential as hands-free assistive devices for people with motor impairments through head movements, voice commands, and eye gaze input, though challenges remain around interaction design, social acceptability, and accommodating diverse motor abilities.
