Human Capable Launches Kickstarter Campaign for Augmented Reality Smart Glasses

Today Human Capable launched a crowdfunding campaign for Norm Glasses, everyday Augmented Reality (AR) smart glasses that look and feel like normal frames. Engineered for comfort, functionality, and style, they're now available for less than $300 USD on the Kickstarter platform.

Norm Glasses are equipped with a wearable mini-computer that runs on an Android-based operating system. The technology is voice-activated, features dual speakers, open-ear sound and a head-up display (HUD). More info here.

"Although Smart Glasses have not yet hit the streets, they can be very helpful in our daily lives. However, in order for this to happen, they need to be comfortable, lightweight, and stylish," said Human Capable founder Charles Sun. "We have worked very hard to achieve this in our design of Norm Glasses, and hope that they can bring practical value to people."

At 30-36g, Norm Glasses are the lightest among all smart glasses with a head-up display, and even lighter than most audio-only smart glasses. This allows users to comfortably wear and interact with the glasses on a daily basis.

Due to the common technical challenges of shrinking optical and electrical hardware into AR glasses, few models on the market today achieve the look of normal eyeglasses. All components of Norm Glasses are embedded discreetly inside the lightweight frames, including CPU, memory, storage, battery, speakers, microphones, camera, and optical system which displays digital information in the user's field of view. The design concept is such that wearers will not be able to tell their frames have a microcomputer built into them. The sleek design also folds up into a standard glasses case. They can be hung on the shirt when not in use, just like normal sunglasses.

Norm Glasses have 20° field of view with large eyebox. This enables users to consume digital content with ease, without requiring a custom fitting. The frames support tinted, polarized, transition or prescription lenses. Norm Glasses pair via Bluetooth with Android or iOS smartphones. The dual speakers with an open-ear design means that users can listen from through their glasses while still being aware of their surroundings; a smart volume control mechanism ensures that they won't disrupt people in close proximity. Be alert to read related news.

Users can make and receive phone calls, listen to music, podcasts and audiobooks, manage emails and texts, capture and view video and photos, update or check social media and much more. Functionality can be extended with apps in the same way as on a smartphone, and can integrate with multiple voice platforms. Users can stay on top of communication, obtain or share information in heads-up, hands-free manner, without holding or touching their phone.

"Our team is focused on human-machine interaction and has a vision to bring value to people's daily lives," continued Sun. "After four years of R&D, we are thrilled to introduce Norm Glasses on Kickstarter."

The estimated delivery date of Norm Glasses is Jan 2020. For more information on pledge levels, please visit the Kickstarter campaign. Media wishing to interview their personnel should contact PR agent, Jessica Sanchez at jessica@properpropaganda.net.

Sleep Cycle Institute Report: New Data Suggests Jet Lag Is Only an Eastbound Problem

All jet lag is not created equal, according to new data released today from Sleep Cycle, the world's first and most popular smart alarm clock app.

The new report from the Sleep Cycle Institute looked at more than 1.5 million nights' worth of sleep data from people who traveled east (forward in time), west (backward in time) and without traversing any time zones (the control group) to get a quantitative look at how travel interferes with our sleep.

The most significant finding of the new report is that traveling east (forward in time) is significantly worse for sleep than traveling west (backward in time). In fact, it seems that westbound travelers may enjoy better sleep than usual.

Time, Travel and Shuteye

Looking at the first five days of travel, not only do people enjoy less severe jet lag when they travel west, but their quantity of sleep, quality of sleep and wake-up mood actually improve. This is true not only compared to eastbound travelers but also to people who travel without moving through any time zones — and the effect is greater the further west they go.

On the other hand, the further east people travel, the poorer their quantity of sleep, quality of sleep and wake-up moods become:

                                                 Average                 Average                 Average
Time zones crossed             sleep quality &nbs p;          wake-up mood             time in bed
-9 hours                                      76%                             62%                 7 hrs 31 mins
-7 hours                                     75%            &nbs p;                64%                 7 hrs 26 mins
-2 hours                                     74%                             62%                 7 hrs 18 mins

None (control group)                 73%                        ;      60%                     7 hrs 15 mins
+2 hours                                     73%                             60%                 7 hrs 9 mins
+7 hours                                     67%                              59%                 6 hrs 57 mins
+9 hours                                     66%                             57%                 6 hrs 48 mins

What most travelers seem to have in common, regardless of how much or whether or not they're traveling through time, is that they sleep fairly well the first night of their trip but see a marked decline in sleep quality on night two. On day five or six, sleep quality peaks, and their sleep returns to normal around day 10. This is seen in time changes as low as three hours but is augmented when traveling further distances.

Observations From the Experts

Sleep Cycle asked some of the Sleep Cycle Institute panelists for further commentary about jet lag. Australian sleep expert, neuroscientist and health educator Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib said jet lag from vacation travel is unlikely to have any lasting negative effects but can be a serious problem for frequent travelers like airline crew members.

"Long-term jet lag is serious because it's essentially the same as being chronically sleep-deprived," she said. "The bodies of chronically jet-lagged individuals can't function properly because the brain has a difficult time sending the appropriate signals when it's not running on its normal internal clock. Long-term jet lag is associated with the same health risks as long-term sleep deprivation, including an increased risk of certain cancers, metabolic issues, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes."

Natural sleep expert Dr. Catherine Darley added, "Based on sleep physiology, it makes sense that westward travel is easier, as it is easier to lengthen the circadian rhythm. Not only is mood worse, but people can feel an increase in anger and performance problems. It's important to note that these effects can last for several days and to take that into account when planning. For those people who travel regularly, there are strategies that can decrease the disruption caused by jet lag." Be alert to the latest news.

VisitorsCoverage's Europe Travel Plus Insurance Now Available for US Citizens Traveling to Europe

Silicon Valley-based VisitorsCoverage, an online travel insurance insurtech company, announced today that their popular Europe Travel Plus™ specialty international travel medical insurance policy is now available to U.S. citizens traveling to Europe. Europe Travel Plus™ was previously only available to non-U.S. Citizens and includes an automatic Schengen visa application (if the purchaser's country of origin required one) for travel to the 26 Schengen countries.

With international travel to Europe steadily increasing since the 1990s and continuing to grow, VisitorsCoverage created Europe Travel Plus™ to satisfy all the insurance needs of travelers to Europe. The new ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) will be required for travel to all Schengen Countries beginning in 2021 for travel up to 90 days. While U.S. Citizens are not required to secure a Schengen visa, they will be required to complete the ETIAS application. The new and improved Europe Travel Plus™ plan has a new added benefit that includes a one-way economy class airline ticket and covers airline change fees if the insured is denied entry into Europe for a covered reason.

"14.2 million people used a Schengen visa to travel around Europe in 2018," says Rajeev Shrivastava, CEO and founder of VisitorsCoverage. "Coverage for border entry denial provides peace of mind to the traveler should they find themselves without proper documentation or other entry mishaps. The addition of this unique benefit makes the Europe Travel Plus™ plan stand out among the other competing products in the market and proves timely with the upcoming implementation of the ETIAS visa requirements."

Europe Travel Plus™ is administered by International Medical Group® (IMG®), one of the world's most respected providers of international travel medical insurance and has maximum limit per period of coverage options from $50,000 to $2 million (USD). The standard policy also provides emergency dental, accidental death and dismemberment, identity theft and trip interruption benefits for covered reasons. Additionally, the policy generates a Schengen visa fulfillment kit, including a confirmation insurance letter documenting that the traveler has purchased the required coverage. Currently, travelers from Schengen visa-mandated countries are required to purchase at least €30,000 in travel medical insurance.

"As global travel to Europe continues to grow, the Europe Travel Plus™ plan, with hand-picked benefits — tailored to the traveler's needs — will both simplify the process and provide better coverage for the customer," Shrivastava continues. "The new availability to U.S. citizens and improved benefits for denied entry into Europe (for a covered reason) again proves that Europe Travel Plus is a superior policy for all travel to Europe."
