Nissan 3E Smartglass for Drivers

Nissan 3E Smartglass for Drivers


Driving has a lot of issues related to it.  Losing your way, being confused about your location and taking the wrong turnings are just some of them. In light of this Nissan are set to unveil a computer which look like a pair of glasses and are specifically designed for drivers.  The device is the Nissan 3E, where 3E stands for Third Eye*.


This week, Nissan aired a video showing a sneak peek of the Nissan 3E, featuring a shirtless model, intense and thumping music and a preview of the gadget.  Similarities can be drawn with the Google Glass and thus give Google Glass some strong competition.

Nissan 3E however may have a slight edge as Google Glass has already been dubbed the ‘problem maker’, rather than being the ‘problem solver’, for drivers. The problems that Google Glass are causing are no longer limited to just rumours.  Last month, a ticket was issued to a woman, reportedly from California, for driving whilst wearing the Google Glass.


This is not Nissan’s first venture into the wearable technology space, however, the Nissan 3E is still taking baby steps. Like Google Glass, it allows users to store acquired information on the gadget and has connectivity to the internet. Conversations can also be given a try as it allows exchange of information with others who are also wearing the gadget.


The Nissan 3E will be on display at the Tokyo Motor Show from 22nd November to 1st December. Make sure you don’t miss out!
