Engineers from the Nakajima Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications developed a prototype of GPS glasses with integrated LEDs around the frame of the glasses. The LEDs, which are visible in users’ peripheral field of vision, change colour and placement in order to user the direction they should be walking in. This proposes a more convenient way of finding direction as it differs from the current GPS devices on smartphones which requires users to look down.
This was exhibited at this year’s Wireless Japan 2010, but is still a prototype and yet to be available.
Below is a video which explains it a bit more.
