The unwavering ingress of the new sunglasses into a becoming technology oriented business industry meets with a suspension of a crowd funding website, kickstarter because of the said suspicious history with spamming and well as the inconsistencies. The so-called video sharing sunglasses enables user to have two different gadgets that can get transform into other functionality. The sunglasses has a camera places in between the lenses where it can be use to record or capture videos of the memorable event of your life or even the toughest part which then can save to the SD card built in the sunglasses. It can transform into sunglasses by just flipping a switch to active the opposition. However, Micron Associates pointed out that this kind of development by IndieGoGois said has an inherent risks.In addition, the concept itself isn’t complex. A pinhole camera is installed in the bridge of the glasses, with the video simply fed to an SD card.

3. The so-called video sharing sunglasses
enables user to have two different
gadgets that can get transform into other
functionality. The sunglasses has a
camera places in between the lenses
where it can be use to record or capture
videos of the memorable event of your
life or even the toughest part which then
can save to the SD card built in the
sunglasses. It can transform into
sunglasses by just flipping a switch to
active the opposition.
4. However, Micron Associates pointed
out that this kind of development by
IndieGoGois said has an inherent
risks.In addition, the concept itself
isn‟t complex. A pinhole camera is
installed in the bridge of the glasses,
with the video simply fed to an SD
card.
5. To darken the lenses, the project will use
“chromatic shifting conductive glass.” An
electrical current, typically just 1 volt, is
applied to the conducting carbon layer that
coats the lenses, which tints them. The layer
itself is just 30 micrometers thin (about a third
the width of a human hair).
So far, the IndieGoGo project has raised nearly
half of its $50,000 goal. To snag the final
product will run you $189, and the glasses will
later retail for $299.
6. While there is little to suggest that
Vergence Labs has any attachment
with ZionEyez, the team does have a
troubled history. VergenceLab‟s project
was suspended by Kickstarter only
days ago, despite reaching $63,790
pledged of its $50,000 goal.
Kickstarterwaned to comment on its
reason, but spam may have been at
play. One Twitter account promoting
the project has almost 7,000 tweets in a
matter of a few days.
7. Stephen Lau, Senior Software Engineer at
Google, shared some insight on the suspension
in an answer on Quora. “I suspect it was likely
due to the spam (or perceived spam) sent by
“Sergey „Grin‟”, or perhaps the comments left
on many articles/blogs covering Project Glass
pointingreaders to the Vergence Labs
Kickstarter.”
The Kickstarter Community Guidelines says:
First, Spread the word but don‟t spam. Spam
includes sending unsolicited @ messages to
people on Twitter. This makes everyone on
Kickstarter look bad. Don‟t do it. Second,don‟t
promote a project on other projects‟ pages.
Your comments will be deleted and your
account may be suspended.
8. Since the project‟s move from Kickstarter to
IndieGoGo, there have also been inconsistencies
in its campaign. The IndieGoGo project pages
makesno mention of Wi-Fi in the glasses to
stream the video live, or a launch date, despite
having announced both in an earlier press
release.
So, as a result the decision remains hanging and
it‟s up for the both of the management whether
to support or not the new tech. Still, they have
to consider the possible said risks and it is also
important to have a clear and understandable
answer about the afflictions of crowd funding.
