Abstract
This paper presents the development of Spectacles-a modular autonomous, wireless displays platform for integration with eyeglass frames. The Spectacles hardware-software platform includes local computation and communication facilities, an integrated power supply, and modular system building blocks, such as sensors, voice-to-text and text-to-speech components, localization and positioning units, and microcameras and micodisplays units. Developers can easily assemble the system building blocks to application-specific instances of wearable displays.
