"Smart eyewear will enrich the way we sense the world around us, giving us superpowers. Superpowers to live the moment at its fullest, while taking advantage of an entirely new dimension when we need it, where we need it. All this magic will be hidden in a piece of eyewear, an accessory that will always be the seamless extension of our personality and style, yet will guarantee vision correction and protection."
