Computer programming and fashion-forward sensibilities don’t always go hand in hand. But Kickstarter Bright Eyes hopes to change that with a pair of glasses that take cool to a digital level.
Though these LED glasses might look like something rapper Lil Wayne would wear, they’re meant to encourage people to get involved in the process of coding â€" something that has become an important language in today’s ultra-tech society.
The glasses come with a DIY kit that help you program the 174 LED lights, and a micro SD card that allow the glasses to play graphics and videos. The creators are already working on accompanying tutorials that will guide you through the steps to building a successful unit. And if the glasses spark a true interest in you, there are options to code graphics, animations, sensors that respond to music, or you can connect the glasses with a Twitter account that will share tweets.
“We hope that this kit will inspire more people to learn how to program â€" and then begin making amazing things with technology,†project creator Daniel Hirschmann says on his Kickstarter page.
But the Kickstarter project still needs to raise more than $17,000 to reach its goal.
Check out the video above to see how the glasses work.
