Could smart glasses with built-in video cameras become widely accepted?
Greg Foot, host of BBC Radio 4's 'Sliced Bread' brings you 'Dough', examining the rise of future wonder products.
Greg is joined by experts, entrepreneurs and industry innovators to discuss the trends we're seeing today and where they may lead us tomorrow, before a leading futurist offers their predictions on what life might be like within five, ten and fifty years.
This time we’re looking at the future of eyewear - asking whether smart glasses with built-in video cameras might see past previous failures to become widely accepted?
And whether you might soon be wearing smart contact lenses that can not only display websites and messages, but also potentially monitor your eye health?
Greg is joined by the futurist Tracey Follows and guests including:
- Priya Morjaria, Assistant Professor in International Eye Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Head of Global Programme Development at Peek Vision
- Alex Himel, Vice President of Wearables at Meta which is selling smart glasses with embedded artificial intelligence, cameras, microphones and speakers.
- Professor Philip Morgan, Head of Optometry at the University of Manchester
Produced by Jon Douglas. Dough is a BBC Audio North Production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
