Game-changing innovation unveiled: The world’s first convertible smartphone-to-smart glasses

With a simple telescopic mechanism, the device can transform from a smartphone into AR glasses, offering users flexibility and control over their digital interactions

In a groundbreaking leap for both smartphone and augmented reality (AR) technology, a revolutionary innovation has been unveiled: the world’s first convertible smartphone-to-smart glass device. This cutting-edge device seamlessly transforms from a high-performance smartphone into sleek AR-enabled smart glasses, eliminating the need for separate gadgets and providing users with the ultimate in digital flexibility.

The innovation, conceptualised and developed by Rizwin Azeez, a UAE-based Digital Transformation and Solutions Leader, solves a pressing problem in today’s tech-driven world: the reliance on multiple devices for both traditional mobile tasks and immersive AR experiences.

“Why settle for just one experience when you can have both?" said Rizwin Azeez, speaking about his latest innovation.

"Our goal was to create a device that allows users to shift between their smartphone and AR needs with ease — whether they prefer to hold their technology or wear it. It’s about giving people the power to choose how they experience their digital world.”

Key Features of the convertible smartphone-to-smart glass device include:

• Seamless Transition: With a simple telescopic mechanism, the device can transform from a smartphone into AR glasses, offering users flexibility and control over their digital interactions.

• Two-in-one Functionality: Whether used as a smartphone or as AR glasses, the device delivers unparalleled ease of use, eliminating the need to carry or maintain multiple devices.

• Sleek and Lightweight Design: The device’s foldable arms allow for comfortable handheld use in smartphone mode and smooth conversion into a pair of sleek smart glasses for hands-free AR experiences.

• Advanced AR Capabilities: The AR mode delivers real-time overlays of digital information, ideal for navigation, immersive media interactions, and hands-free tasks.

• Eco-friendly and Efficient: By reducing the need for multiple devices, the innovation addresses both convenience and environmental sustainability by cutting down on electronic waste and radiation exposure.

This breakthrough is expected to redefine the way users engage with both mobile connectivity and immersive AR content. From answering a call or scrolling through social media to navigating real-world environments through AR, the device offers a comprehensive solution that caters to the evolving digital lifestyle of today's users.

Rizwin Azeez is no stranger to innovation. Over a decade ago, he introduced smart glasses for the visually impaired, enhancing accessibility and assistive technologies. His latest invention continues this tradition, focusing on multi-functional, user-friendly devices that offer both convenience and cutting-edge technology.
