Thunderbird Air 1S is similar to ordinary sunglasses in shape, with great comfort through curve optimization and weight dispersion design. At the same time, Thunderbird Air 1S adds a volume and brightness dial wheel, and a 3D mode switch on the right temple.Thunderbird, an emerging electronics company " incubated" by TCL, has announced its first possibly market-ready AR product, the Smart Glasses Pioneer Version. This pair of spectacles is, as the name suggests, the kind of 'true' smart glasses that integrate a working, partially transparent display capable of overlaying a mixed-reality display over the wearer's real-world surroundings. a b Plunkett, John (30 September 2013).

A negative effect of the character's delivery was the impact on the pacing of episodes: Anderson remembers that the stutter slowed the action, which potential distributors wanted to "move along fast", despite "bearing in mind that puppet action was slow enough without any speech impediments". [4] She concludes that while all concerned were impressed by Graham's "original interpretation", the stammer proved to be "one of those experiments that worked better in the recording studio than on the screen". [4] The scriptwriters solved the problem by abbreviating or cutting Brains' lines and limiting the character's appearances, [4] to the extent that by the end of Series Two, his speech impediment had been eliminated. [9] With Parker, Brains was Graham's joint favourite voice role for series. [12] Anthony Edwards, who portrayed Brains in the completed 2004 film, enjoyed the role primarily on account of the character's stutter. [16] In an interview for Starburst magazine, Edwards stated that his children "made me be absolutely true to the original Brains – it was very important to them." [16] Marit Annen, the film's costume designer, pictured the character as "the kind of archetypal forgetful scientist; the only thing that's hi-tech about him is his shoes". [17] The glasses that the live-action Brains wears, while intended to be reminiscent of the original "pebble lenses", were made as smaller and "slightly more modern" half-frame spectacles.

[13] As part of the updating of characters, vehicles and settings, Brains' myopia and stutter were to have been removed, and the character re-imagined as an eloquent computer scientist. [13] [14] In the late 1990s, before Jonathan Frakes replaced Peter Hewitt as director of the then-undeveloped live-action film adaptation, co-producer Tim Bevan approached comedian Rowan Atkinson with a view to offering him the role of Brains. [15]In terms of content ecology, up to now, the Thunderbird XR Glasses app developed by the firm has covered mainstream platforms such as iQiyi , Youku, Tencent , Bilibili and Douyin, to provide massive film and television resources. PS. you may remember the Ray-Ban Stories that launched recently, smart glasses with a Wayfarer design. Those don't have a display, though, and neither do the Razer Anzu. Also, the HTC Vive Flow from yesterday is a VR headset (though it has cameras, so it can sort-of function like glasses). Having a display puts the Thunderbirds (and the Xiaomi concept glasses) in a completely different category, even if all of these are colloquially called “smart glasses”. Born on 14 November 2001 or 2040 in Michigan, United States, Brains was orphaned at the age of 12 when his family was killed in a hurricane. He was eventually adopted by a professor at the University of Cambridge, and discovered later on by Jeff Tracy, founder of International Rescue, while he was lecturing in Paris. [18] [19]
