The R-7 Smart Glasses Smartglasses have their own built-in processors and an Android Operating System, so they do not require a smartphone or any other accessories to operate. With a retail price of $2750, the Glasses these [[Augmented Reality#Devices|AR glasses]] are designed for enterprise users, not average consumers. The prototype was revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2016 and scheduled to ship in Q2 2016.
==Features==
The most notable feature of R-7 Smart Glasses Smartglasses is that they are self-contained and do not require any smartphone to work with. While wearing them, the user can see a stunning high [[resolution]] display, having the capability of supporting 3D content with [[stereoscopic]] imagery, centered in the lower half of the field of the user [1].<ref name="gizmag1">http://www.gizmag.com/odg-smartglasses-r7-review-hands-on/41395/</ref>
==Hardware==
While R-7 smart glasses cannot be classified as ordinary, day-to-day eyewear, ODG was able to build them as a slightly bulkier version of sports sunglasses. The compact R-7 Smart Glasses Smartglasses are designed to provide the ultimate mobile [[AR]] and [[VR]] mobile solution.
The R-7 smart glasses are aimed to improve and enhance the productivity of industrial and corporate users. The product is already being used in government sectors, automotive industries and the medical sector [2]. <ref name="reuters1">http://www.reuters.com/article/ca-osterhout-design-idUSnBw095957a+100+BSW20150609</ref> The company also expects a bright future for the tech product in aircraft cabins [3]. <ref>http://apex.aero/2015/10/01/smart-glasses-inflight-entertainment-3d</ref> According to the company CEO, Ralph Osterhout, R-7 is the latest evolution in the device portfolio in the company and they are proud to have achieved such computational power, stunning graphics and reliability in such a compact and lightweight device [2].<ref name="reuters1">http://www.reuters.com/article/ca-osterhout-design-idUSnBw095957a+100+BSW20150609</ref>
