Smart glasses have been around for a while but thanks to the realm of live streaming, the consumers are warming up to the idea of ditching phones and applying wearables, as more people are getting curious about AR and new technologies.
Here are some numbers:
- By 2026 it’s estimated to produce almost 400 million shipments worldwide of smart glasses alone, which is twice as much as any other wearable combined (Statista).
- The Global Smart Glasses Market is projected to reach a value of USD 10.7 Billion (Vantage Market Research).
Drawing parallels to the transformative impact of Apple Vision Pro introduction, Artem Isay, CEO of MetaPax, introduced a concept he dubs the “Overton Window.”
Overton Window and MetaPax
The significance of mobile applications cannot be understated. Drawing parallels with the anticipated trajectory of Virtual Reality (VR) and the transformative impact of Apple’s innovations, there emerges a new device, not just in its physical form but in its potential to reshape perceptions. This device is set to usher in a paradigm shift within the next two years. Its introduction promises a world transformed, almost beyond current comprehension. The momentum in this domain is real, with numerous enterprises venturing into groundbreaking innovations.
There is no need to look far for examples. MetaPax partners Superhexa, a hardware developer, and MetaPax, a trailblazer in software and conceptualization: both entities, unknown to each other, embarked on parallel paths. An interesting point is that when unboxing a pair of Superhexa glasses, one is greeted with the slogan “En Vision The Future.” Intriguingly, MetaPax’s motto differs by a mere letter, championing “In Vision.” This uncanny coincidence underscores the shared vision and direction of companies in this space.
The overarching narrative suggests a future where traditional telephones become obsolete, giving way to smart glasses and eventually, contact lenses. This evolution is expected to materialize within a decade. In this context, MetaPax’s timely foray into app development positions them at the top of this revolution.
Isay’s confidence in the Overton Window isn’t unfounded. He highlighted the burgeoning interest in this domain, noting, “A multitude of companies, both established giants and innovative startups, have already embarked on their journeys to explore and invent in this realm. The sheer volume of brainpower and resources being poured into this field is a testament to its potential.”
In closing, Isay emphasized the significance of staying ahead of the curve. “In the world of technology, being proactive rather than reactive is key. The Overton Window isn’t just a concept; it’s the future. And at MetaPax, we’re geared up to be at the forefront of this revolution.”
The potential is there, but what are the actual benefits of smart glasses in live streaming?
The Unique 1st POV Experience
Imagine being able to rent a person’s time on the MetaPax platform and instructing them to complete certain tasks live. Now, couple that with the ability to see everything from their perspective, through their eyes. This is the power of smart glasses. Whether it’s exploring a new city, attending a live event, or simply experiencing a day in someone else’s shoes, smart glasses make it all possible. The immersive experience is unparalleled, bridging distances and creating a sense of presence that traditional streaming methods can’t match.
Smart glass application in business
It is clear that the gadget is super attractive to consumers with the possibilities of streaming unique POV content effortlessly — but how could businesses benefit from it?
According to Poplarstudio, “By enabling workers, technicians, and medical professionals to see information — be it tools or directions — directly in front of them, smart glasses-free up users’ hands to continue working on any given task, something that, according to Google Glass project lead Jay Kothari, gives workers “superpowers.”
Here are some ideas of where you can apply smart glasses for your business:
*Team: never miss business trips or exhibitions again.
*Logistics: quality control — live damage inspection.
*Training: eg. medical field — augmented surgical procedures.
*Product Development: automotive industry virtual prototyping assistance.
*After-sales: service for electronics, interactive troubleshooting guide.
*Marketing: augmented reality ads production, unique POV videos.
