Mobile phone sunglasses
These sunglasses can be programmed with MP3 music files, which are played through an earpiece located next to the ears on each temple bar.
This idea incorporates Blue Tooth and voice recognition technology into a similar spectacle frame piece, which comes with a storage case to recharge the spectacle's batteries by means of an induction loop.
The spectacles, acting as a mobile phone, includes a microphone in the nose bridge and a swivel earpiece on one temple bar, which can be retracted when not being used as a phone.
The storage case is also house as a Personal digital assistant (PDA) with Internet access and GPS software that is transmitted through a wire jack to the spectacles. Directions are flashed on the LCD screen or heard through the earpiece.
