command. You simply state the command and the
device will do the rest.
• Live video sharing
• Translation
• Customizable frames

• It functions somehow like a personal digital
assistant.
• It would require less hand motion for work
that will make one’s tasks easier.
• It is small and light weighted yet built in a
strong frame that would not interfere on one’s
day to day activities.
*Ubiquitous computer is an advanced computer system where doing things in the computer is made to appear everywhere and anywhere.
* As you can see, there is no lens in this sort of eye glass device. Google is still on the process of consideration with Ray-ban and other optical apparels for suppliers.
