Huawei Eyewear 2 Smart Glasses

In recent years, with the development of science and technology, technological innovation products have emerged one after another. What particularly impressed me was the second-generation smart glasses launched by Huawei.

First of all, it is different from ordinary glasses used for decoration or vision correction. It is also a Bluetooth headset with an open design. It can detect noises from outside sources in real time and offer listening without constricting the ear canal. When you are listening to music or meeting online, you can maintain communication with the outside world without taking off your glasses.

Secondly, its battery life has been increased by 30% based on the first generation. It uses magnetic charging and can be fully charged in just 50 minutes, which to a certain extent alleviates the power anxiety of contemporary people.

Furthermore, it can broadcast important reminder information on mobile phones around the clock. People can receive information reminders without frequently taking out their mobile phones, including but not limited to weather changes, flight information and so on.

Finally, Huawei Eyewear 2 can also monitor neck posture in real time. These days, a lot of people suffer from cervical spondylosis as a result of lifestyle choices like inactivity and a sedentary way of living. This pair of glasses has a built-in precise posture sensor to monitor health status, and will issue a voice reminder if you lower your head continuously for too long.

All in all, I think Huawei Eyewear 2 is very creative and innovative. It can not only listen to songs, make phone calls, and broadcast important information on the phone in real time, but also plays the role of a health steward. I hope that my design thinking can make breakthroughs in a basic product like this pair of glasses, making this seemingly insignificant object more meaningful.
