Glasses allowing wearer to interact with their smartphone content combine lenses and coatings with projection and a prism embedded in the eyeglass lens to display the imagery. The screen is located in the side frame of the eyewear. The small, virtual so-called “Phantom Display” image is projected and focused onto the wearer’s retina. The image appears to float in front of the wearer and stays in focus regardless of the wearer’s direction of view. When not actively in use, the Phantom Display transitions into a sleep mode and becomes almost invisible to the wearer. The wearer can navigate through the interface and engage with widgets and notifications through the use of five tactile buttons found in the frames of the glasses. It is equipped with USB 2.0 connection to enable data transfers and USB type-C for charging.
