Now That’s A Pair Of Prescription Smart Glasses Lumus
The format of Lumus’ device, which is not unlike Google Glass, does away with the glass cube that Glass has hanging around the right lens and instead incorporates the display into the existing glasses, utilizing the entire right lens as a 640×480 resolution visual overlay. The Lumus will also include a 5-megapixel camera and motion sensor, rounding out the components required for a full smart glasses experience.
This looks like a much more natural way to incorporate an overlay into a pair of prescription glasses and while this is only a render, the Lumus looks a lot more fashionable than its Google-based counterpart. Not only that, but the Lumus DK-40 developer kit and its SDK is planned to be ready for developers and OEMs by the time CES 2014 rolls by in January next year.
Who thinks the Lumus smart glasses look better than Google Glass? Let us know what you think in the comments.

When Google announced its newest build of Android, what we now know to be Android 4.4 KitKat, we were very surprised to hear that the Galaxy Nexus would not be receiving an update from Google itself. This was not only surprising because the Galaxy Nexus is the next most recent Nexus device after the Nexus 4, but also because Google made waves with its assurance that Android 4.4 would run on devices with only 512MB RAM, a criteria that the Galaxy Nexus meets comfortably. Understandably, owners of the phone were understandably upset, but not to be deterred, some determined developers over at XDA have knocked out a CyanogenMod 11 ROM for the Galaxy Nexus which will give the phone some of that KitKat goodness.
