- A wired controller is necessary for the device to work, and needs to be hooked up to the glasses, which also need pairing with a compatible Android device in order to work.
- The technology on the inside of these glasses includes, an accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass and a three-megapixel camera for still images. The controls and microphone used to interact with the device are on the circular wired controller, which needs to be plugged in at all times.
