This innovation, introduced in the 1950's, allowed speakers to connect with their audience in an unprecedented way. Without hesitation, presenters could simply read their speech while simultaneously looking directly into the recipient’s eyes.
Smart glasses could take teleprompters a step further. Particularly at galas and awards ceremonies - where cue cards are often relied upon – smart glasses could allow speakers to read their speech without taking their eyes off the crowd.
Notes could be referred to - without anyone in the crowd being any the wiser.
As the 2020's approach, many of the big tech players are confident that smart glasses will replace smartphones as the digital hardware of choice. Practical applications like this reinforce such confidence.
