Intel made a pair of smart glasses you might actually want to wear out — here's how they work by Prachi Bhardwaj on Feb 5, 2018, 3:29 PM Advertisement
 Intel has developed a prototype for a pair of smart glasses that are designed to look normal — or at least, normal for a pair of smart glasses. News of Intel's latest hardware broke in February, when Bloomberg's Sarah Frier and Ian King published a report saying the company was looking for a number of investors to take a majority stake in its augmented-reality (AR) unit, which had been developing a pair of eyeglasses that lets you see text and other information in your field of view. Days after Bloomberg's report went live, The Verge's Dieter Bohn posted a video showing off a physical prototype of the Vaunt smart glasses. Here's a look at how they work: SEE ALSO: RED announced its $1,200 smartphone is coming this summer — take a look at all its futuristic technologies Intel designed these glasses to be worn in public without feeling like a technophile.  The horn-rimmed camera-less glasses have a very different look from Google Glass. Intel's Vaunt glasses are designed with minimalistic functionality so the pair only weighs about 50 grams (about a tenth of a pound), and apart from an occasional "red glimmer," the lens display isn't visible to anyone on the other side of the glasses.
The lens can display "simple basic information" into the right eye. 
The image is called a retinal projection: A red monochrome projector shines an image on a "holographic mirror," which bounces the image into your eye.  To avoid having text in your line of sight all the time, Intel built the glasses so that the dashboard shows up only when the user glances down at the bottom of the frame. The second the user looks up, the display disappears. There's no need for hand gestures.
