SMART Glasses Technology is based on integrated HD display engines and waveguide optics, as opposed to refractive and/or reflective optics used so far.

This not only allows the pace of the assembly line to be set, but it also allows factory owners to identify time-wasting problems such as superfluous movements, overly frequent tool changes, or impractically-located components. Typically, workers are periodically timed by a stopwatch-wielding supervisor, or using a timer that they start and stop themselves. A new wearable time-keeping system, however, promises more accurate readings. <a href="/web/20120118174940/http://www.gizmag.com/time-keeping-sensor-sleeves/21012/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118174940/http://www.gizmag.com/aftershokz-headphones-deliver-sound-through-cheekbones/20988/">Aftershokz headphones deliver sound through cheeks rather than your ears</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118174940/http://www.gizmag.com/author/emily-price/">Emily Price</a></p> <p><em>14:29 January 3, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174940im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118174940/http://www.gizmag.com/aftershokz-headphones-deliver-sound-through-cheekbones/20988/#comments">6 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174940im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118174940/http://www.gizmag.com/aftershokz-headphones-deliver-sound-through-cheekbones/20988/pictures">7 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118174940/http://www.gizmag.com/aftershokz-headphones-deliver-sound-through-cheekbones/20988/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174940im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/aftershokz.jpg" title="Aftershokz is using a patent-pending bone conduction technology in its headphones" alt="Aftershokz is using a patent-pending bone conduction technology in its headphones"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>When you think of headphones, no matter what comes to mind, it's likely a set that fit inside or on top of your ears.
