Epiphany Eyewear Can Record Your Life, Share Your Memories

While Google is said to be developing a pair of augmented reality eyeglasses, the dudes on Vergence Lab would rather keep it simpler. Its Buddy Holly-style spectacles, branded as Epiphany Eyewear, would enable the wearer to record videos in a first-person point-of-view and share the clips on a social network of choice. These geeky glasses also shifts into sunglasses in an instant, thanks to its “chromatic shifting conductive” lenses.

A creation of Jon Rodriguez and Erick Miller, the Epiphany Eyewear is being funded through Kickstarter, where the two first met. You will receive your very own pair for a pledge of at least $199 (as long as the $50,000 project gets fully funded), which is expected to be sold on retail for $299.
