Description: Smart glasses have been floating around the IoT space for some time, but have struggled to find acceptance by the general populace. In this talk we'll explore some of the more successful applications of smart glasses thus far and dive into some of the technical details of deploying and maintaining a fleet of realtime video devices in the wild.
