Norm Glasses

These lightweight smart glasses are equipped with a discreet wearable mini-computer, camera, speakers, and a head-up display (HUD) of info in your field of view (similar to watching a 50” TV located 4 yards away). Take pictures, record videos, make phone calls, or even watch videos, without having to pull out your phone.

It was designed to stop workers from texting and hanging out on social media in office bathrooms for lengthy periods. A new weapon in the bosses’ arsenal? Thankfully, no word of an accessible version.
