It projects virtual information on a small mirror located in front and slightly below of the user's eyes. Unlike the previous product of the company, [[Ashkelon Visor]], this device projects the image by the build-in LCD screen located in the arc of the glass frame. It does not have any processing capabilities on it's own and has to be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. It is not clear whether connection via cable is also available or not.
