INNOCEAN Worldwide (INNOCEAN) introduces everyday wearable smart sunglasses “GLATUS.” Last year, INNOCEAN unveiled the prototype of GLATUS at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held at Las Vegas in 2018.

GLATUS is a life assistant that gives valuable information, helps your daily life. GLATUS will perfectly fit into your life.
The main function of GLATUS is the real-time personal UV exposure detecting system that notifies to protect the users’ skin. UV sensors on both sides of the sunglasses track the UV index from sunlight at various locations and provide voice alerts according to the risk level. For example, it gives real-time voice alerts such as, “Your sun exposure is high. Be careful.” The UV sensors have been designed through numerous tests to cover various angles of sunlight, and have international patents pending.
GLATUS can also check on the driver’s condition in real-time by the sunglasses sensors which measure the air quality in the car. The alert tells the driver that with “Get some fresh air,” helping to maintain favorable air quality. Blink pattern analysis also provides alerts based on the risk presented by drowsiness which often occurs when people drive in the sun for a long time. Now you can drive safely by just wearing GLATUS.
In addition, GLATUS well optimizes to the light condition by automatic electrochromic lenses. The lenses automatically respond to current sunlight in 0.1 seconds which provide comfort when you move indoor from outdoor or darkens immediately after a vehicle comes out of a tunnel. This smart-reaction technology completed all safety tests for detecting and adapting to light changes in real-time. The automatic brightening & darkening feature can be found in premium version of GLATUS. Moreover, an exclusive mobile application of GLATUS enables users to check their daily record on UV exposure and driving conditions.
Best of all, GLATUS has been designed with the needs and comfort of every user in mind. The round frame, most popular classic sunglasses, flatters any face shape.
