From PC Mag: We're still a way off from augmented reality devices being an every day part of our lives, but Bose's new sunglasses are a subtle step towards that reality.
Bose Frames are sunglasses, but they're also a wearable audio device. Embedded in each arm of the glasses is a Bose speaker, and near the temple on the right arm is a microphone and multi-function button. The speakers are pointed backwards allowing them to fire audio into your ears without the need for earbuds.
Bose classes Frames as the world's first "audio augmented reality platform." In reality, Bose just combined headphones and glasses, but also unlocked a few smart features in the process.
As well as streaming music and allowing you to take calls hands and ears-free, a nine-axis head motion sensor is linked to your Android or iOS handset allowing your location and what direction you're looking at to be tracked using the Bose Connect app.
