Hardware innovations like goggles, glasses, and headsets will help speed up the next iteration of the future internet.

Big tech companies are not only creating cutting-edge VR headsets for when we want a fully immersive internet experience, but they're also working on devices like smart glasses that we can comfortably wear while walking around and interacting in the real world.

I recently tried out a prototype of smart glasses made by Viture. These glasses look just like regular sunglasses, but they display a 120-inch virtual screen in front of your face. With these glasses, I could block out the real world to play a game or watch a video, or look through them just like normal glasses.

Smart glasses of the future will bring augmented reality to life by displaying digital images and information in front of our eyes as we move through our days. This will be one way we’ll incorporate AR into the way we work, play, and live.

It could be possible that with this new wearable technology, we may reach a point where we no longer need smartphones.
