SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 02, 2015 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Head worn computing and augmented reality (AR) in a form more readily adoptable by the everyday consumer came closer today as Osterhout Design Group (ODG) unveiled a consumer-oriented version of its Smart Glasses system featuring new proprietary optical and electronic configurations that enable a sleeker, lighter style. ODG also unveiled a prototype device featuring this new system. Modeled on one of the most popular sunglasses styles in history, the Wayfarer, it weighs just 125 grams and delivers similar functions as ODG’s R-6 family of Smart Glasses for Government and Enterprise and will support the Qualcomm® Vuforia™ mobile vision platform, a product of Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc. The first product featuring this new system is expected in 2015 with target prices ranging below $1000.

ODG has spent six years developing AR Smart Glasses, working with customers in the government arena and corporate partners to build, refine and advance its technology. ODG’s founder, Ralph Osterhout, was the designer of the PVS7 Night Vision Goggles and heads-up displays in scuba masks. The introduction of these Consumer glasses is a passion realized for him in the Smart Eyewear category.
