Morrama launches eco-friendly smart glasses

UK – Morrama, an award-winning industrial design and innovation studio, has unveiled Issé, a concept for the future of smart glasses. This mixed-reality wearable combines technological advances with a focus on fashion and eco-consciousness.

While smartwatches have become ubiquitous for tracking and displaying health data, smart eyewear faces barriers to mainstream adoption largely due to the intimate nature of face-worn devices and current technological limitations. But emerging technologies such as micro-LED displays, retinal projection and solid-state batteries are expected to overcome these limitations in the next 5-10 years.

Morrama’s Issé aims to address these challenges by offering a fashionable and customisable solution. The concept features interchangeable frames for different occasions, accommodating both lifestyle and sport-orientated design. Most of the electronics are concentrated in the lenses, making the frames low-tech and easily upgradeable as more advanced sensors become available. The frames are also designed to be eco-friendly, breaking down quickly to reduce their environmental impact. Issé is a great example of how businesses can use immersive and virtual technologies to improve our wellbeing, as revealed in The Betterverse.
