MOTA SmartGlass are multi-purpose smart glasses being developed by a Californian company MOTA. The device aims to offer a broad variety of functions such as voice control or media recording. The available information about the device is severely limited.
It appears that the company abandoned the project as there is no mention of the development on the official website as of January 2016. It is not clear when the company decided to remove the SmartGlass from their portfolio but the official website[2] for the device is reachable through a specific search query. (note: include a screenshot of the website)

MOTA advertises that the smart glasses feature "cutting-edge technology"[2] and 720p camera. The control options feature voice and remote control. Other features are probably available as well, although MOTA does not specify them on their website.
