Toshiba Glass is currently in prototype stage. Changes are expected before it becomes a finalized product for the market. The device looks like an ordinary pair of glasses with a tiny projector clipped on the side, which project images onto the reflective glass lens fitted into the frames. The image appears in the middle of field of vision.[5] The projector can be removed from the foldable frame. The device is connected to a smartphone by cable and draws information and power from it. This makes the device lightweight (42 grams) and comfortable to wear. It is not equipped with a camera. Applications for the device are still under development.
