Sony today released details of a clip-on wearable that turns your glasses into a smart device.
The gadget—an attachable Single-Lens Display Module—comes with a control board, OLED microdisplay, and optical unit, transforming your favorite shades into a Google Glass-like headset.
"This display module possesses the potential to enrich users' lives in a variety of ways," Sony said in a press release. "By simply attaching it to a pair of fashionable glasses, goggles, sunglasses, or other type of eyewear, you can instantly gain access to visual information that adds a level of convenience to your everyday life."

The company is already eyeing applications in sports or work, as well as other untapped, new fields. Software development kits (SDKs) will also be provided to partners—from eyewear makers to electronic manufacturers.

Developers are encouraged to load apps onto the module itself, allowing the device to be used independently; they can also build a smartphone app that syncs with the gadget over Wi-Fi.
"Sony therefore aims to promote development of novel uses for glasses-style smart devices … such as with applications that access data in the cloud or that link with infrastructure systems," the tech giant said.
Sony will also release the display module's communication specs so developers can wirelessly pair it with other devices—perhaps a smartwatch or home-connected technology.
"This will make possible a whole new level of potential ways to use the module that could provide users with even greater convenience," Sony said, pointing to apps for outdoor sports, action photography, or even factory workers.

Device specs include a 0.23-inch high-res color OLED micro-display with 640-by-400-pixel resolution, which Sony said is "among the smallest in the world."
"It was made possible by Sony's unique OLED and semiconductor silicon drive technologies," Sony said. "It is also capable of reproducing deep blacks with contrast ratio higher than 10,000:1 and covering 100 percent of the sRGB color space, thereby displaying images with rich, vibrant color."
The gadget will run an ARM Cortex-A7 processor and a 400 mAh battery and include support for Bluetooth 3.0 + High Speed and 802.11b/g/n.
While Sony aims to start mass production of its display module within the year, visitors to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas can stop by the company's booth from Jan. 6-9 for a peek at a concept model, currently known as "SmartEyeglass Attach."
