SOUTH KOREAN'S ARE MADE THE NEW WEARABLE GLASS IS CALLED THE ' K-GLASS



                                        An K-Glass Developed by South   Korea’s KAIST University

                The Wearable technology is Today's most innovative technology. Last years Google's biggest achievement is Google-Glass.The biggest visual effect are unbelievable and it  made by the Search Engine giant Google.Now the South Korea's university  KAIST are made Eye wearable glass is called K-Glass.  As an electronic eye-wear, K-Glass shares many similarities with Google Glass. But Yoo Hoi-jun, a professor at South Korea’s  KAIST university who spearheaded the project, says it comes with a special chip that  expands the pool of objects the device can properly recognize without relying on barcodes or other markers.
                 The processor “duplicates the ability of the human brain to process visual data,” KAIST said. But the K-Glass, as seen in the photo, is a lot bulkier than Google Glass which is a small-sized rectangular computer attached to the frame of spectacles.“We have yet to decide on a specific target application, which will be needed in commercializing the product,” Yoo said.
                  K-Glass has a long way to go until commercialization but the project comes at an opportune time.KAIST’s Yoo is also taking part as a committee member for the forum which is expected to take place once a month to share ideas over how to build the wearables industry in South Korea.
“Wearable devices today come with limited functions like checking a user’s health condition or linking information through smartphones, checking emails and schedules,” the ministry said in a statement. “But in the future,  the application is expected to expand to cover products used in everyday life including outfits and tools used under high-risk situations like fire-fighting and national defense.”

Yoo says he and his team are open to selling the glass device to big companies like Samsung and Google.
