The word “smart” if associated with a gadget these days, remind us of internet facility and connectivity of that particular device. But recently, when I read about the “smart glasses” in a post, I was really impressed by the researchers and scientists working on this project. The Smart Glasses will be beneficial to those who wear specs. No need to change the near-sighted and far-sighted glasses, no need of bifocals, the liquid lens technology makes that adjustment and only one pair of specs will solve the purpose by auto-adjustments.
