Skugga’s Bluetooth sensor module is hidden in the temple

Silmo d’Or winner Skugga Technologies has vowed to transform the eyewear sector with its miniaturised smart technology. 

The Swedish company said its wearable technology solution, a winner in the technological innovation/connected products category, is a simple, fully scalable platform and ecosystem compatible with any kind of fashion frame. 

For the wearer, the technology provides access to Bluetooth, motion- and environmental-sensor data, LEDs for notification and navigation, plus connectivity with apps such as health trackers. Open to all developers, the platform is integrated into a miniature device fitting acetate, 3D-printed polymer and injection plastic frames, without requiring the brand to compromise its design DNA, style or material quality, according to Skugga. The module is fully functional out-of-the-box, with electronics, battery and integrated quality hinges from Visottica Comotec. 

While a joint collection with McLaren Vision was exhibited at Silmo, Skugga said it’s developing smartglasses for other global players, with launches planned for 2023.
