Sony’s vision of a wearable display allows you to attach the device to whatever your eyewear of preference is. The Sony Attach is designed to be a stand alone unit that you attach (surprise) to your own glasses. Unfortunately, for the time being there is a large caveat: it has to be a compatible set of eyewear. But the company promises a host of mounting options (including adhesive) that should provide a fairly broad swath of compatible frames. While this is great news, I would be hesitant to expect anything compatible from any Luxottica brands (the company is both a Google Glass partner and developing its own smart devices with Intel). Sony’s Attach is very similar to Google Glass, providing a micro-sized screen in front of the right eye. The device on display at CES is not a finished product, so it is not clear how one interacts with the device, how much it would cost, or if it will even make it to market.
