Do you really think we created spectacles to give you eyes in the back of your head?
Sorry teachers - we are not quite there yet. What a good idea though!

It is April 1st after all.

Introducing BackSight AI... The world’s first forward‑facing, backward‑thinking eyewear, a breakthrough in spatial awareness technology engineered for a world that refuses to stay in front of you.

Smart glasses that give you a live, intelligent “rear view” without turning your head—blending safety, awareness, and a bit of sci‑fi.

Are you a teacher? Now you really can have eyes in the back of your head! See exactly what your students are up to while you are writing on the interactive whiteboard.
Great for cyclists being aware of what is behind you, or to deter that pick-pocket in the street coming up behind you after your wallet.

The latest development in wearable tech . We have Nuance hearing glasses and Meta AI glasses already and BackSight AI is another development. Tiny wide‑angle cameras embedded in the arms of the glasses, pointing backwards to cover your blind spots. Sensors detect approaching objects, cyclists, cars, or people moving quickly into your space.
