K-Glass is a head-mounted, augmented reality system being developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). It uses novelty image recognition hardware and software to quickly analyse the scene through the incorporated camera and displays relevant information to the user.

The device has not yet entered commercial market. Professor Yoo Hoi-jun[6], one of the authors of the paper introducing the device, said that they planned to commercialize the device by the beginning of 2015.[3] As of December 2015, no new information is known about K-Glass, nor is the device available to purchase.

Main characteristics

The device consists of one 800x600 pixels micro-display, 720p camera, touchpad, and auxiliary hardware.

KAIS also developed a newer version called K-Glass 2.[7] This iteration is equipped with gaze recognition interface called i-Mouse. It enables the user to use gaze and winking as a form of input.
