Data glasses mirror information to the eye without interfering with the wearer’s vision. However, the battery runs down quickly as the electronics consume a great amount of electricity while playing back images. Fraunhofer researchers have developed an energy-saving display that reduces the power consumption to a fraction. Via a small display, data glasses present the eye with information or images which are received using a radio link from the frame of the glasses.

The big advantage: With data glasses, the wearer’s hands are free – in contrast, a smartphone has to be held in the hand. This may be interesting for mechanics...
