K-Glass uses the new augmented-reality (AR) processor that only filters the most important part of the scene and presents relevant information.

Researchers modeled the AR processor after the human brain. The AR processor works the same way in which the brain processes visual data.

K-Glass is 30 times faster and lasts three times longer than Google Glass.

Researchers said, “Through augmented reality, we will have richer, deeper, and more powerful reality in all aspects of our life from education, business, and entertainment to art and culture.”
