DronesMarketsDrones are being used in many diverse areas like boosting crop yields, verifying insurance claims, inspecting powerlines and assisting in future Hollywood blockbusters in a business thats due to boom by more than 6,000 percent by the end of the decade.The global market for commercial applications of drone technology, currently estimated at about $2 billion, will balloon to as much as $127 billion by 2020, consulting group PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP said in a report published in May of this year.Drone RacingThere are now more than 100K registered drone racers compared to only about 10K just a few short months ago. The clearest and biggest field of view I have ever seen in an FPV goggle, breathtaking Flying experience especially when flown with Connex HD FPV system""The Vuzix iWear is a game changer in drone racing. Combined with Amimon Connex's ProSight 720p HD camera and transmitter, the iWear erases the latency and IPD issues that many goggles experience. With 5-7 milliseconds of latency and crystal clear vision, iWear will make pilots faster, races quicker, and a more immersive experience for online viewers."

So what could it be like wearing Cloud Connected Glasses?First of all your glasses could just be doing what they do now shade you from the sun or correct your vision theyre see-through.But they could be helping you get to where you are going or just help you find your way when you are lostHelp you to read signs in another language or put signs up to help you shop.Help you or others to keep track of your well being.Wide field of view doesnt mean distracting or blocking your viewIt means freedom to have small pieces of information placed anywhere in your line of sightOr replace real objects with ones more useful to you, like the translation of road signs examplePossibilities are limitless in the hands of creative content and applications developers
