Calvin Klein, a top designer name in the eyewear industry, has announced plans to release the very first designer USB pair of sunglasses. The frames, which have a classic Wayfarer look, have a wide temple bar with a modern design from which the USB detaches on the right side for ease of transport. You’ll never forget your USB again! The USB flash drive will have 4GB of data storage, ideal for those who are constantly transporting files via USB between home and work, or from their home computer to their music devices in the car or office.
The design will be available in stores in October and will retain for around $199.
In recent years, innovations in eyewear have spurred such concepts as sunglasses with video camera receivers in the lenses (as seen in True Lies). A common concept more recently is sunglasses and eyewear equipped with Bluetooth receivers that angle at the ear and mouth for hands-free communication while driving. Many state laws in the US make talking on a hand-held cell-phone while driving illegal.
Sunglasses with sensors on the back of the temple bars (behind the ear) send a warning light flashing in your right or left lens, alerting you to movement directly behind your head. This is helpful for people in non-professional sports for optimal performance, or for runners to alert them that someone is about to pass them. While there will likely be controversy over the use of performance-enhancing eyewear, the possibilities to inspire curiosity.
