Your glasses have one job. One. And yet here you are, tilting your head sideways to read a call number, losing them on your own face, and doing absolutely nothing about the patron who just shelved a book spine-in because you simply did not see it in time.
That ends today.
We're thrilled to introduce LibGlasses – the first eyewear engineered specifically for the demands of library science. Built-in skepticism. Peripheral awareness. Audible shushing. Everything you need to maintain order, verify sources, and locate your glasses from across the room. Finally.
Whether you're a seasoned reference librarian or someone who has simply had it with unshelved books and uncited sources, LibGlasses were made for you. Here's a look at a few of our favorite features.
Your own personal fact-checker
We've all been there. A patron slides a source across the desk with complete confidence, and something just feels off. With Skepticism Tint, LibGlasses automatically dim when a source lacks a citation – a built-in second opinion that's always on, always accurate, and never impolite about it.
One wink. Infinite LibGuides.
You see something interesting. You wink. It's a LibGuide now. The Winning Wink automatically converts anything in your field of vision into a LibGuide with just a wink. Books, displays, whiteboards, unsuspecting houseplants – if you can see it, you can LibGuide it. Use this power wisely.
Eyes in the back of your head (sort of)
The library is a complex ecosystem. Mysterious mis-shelving. Coffee cups on open books. Chairs that nobody pushed in. Peripheral Vision Pro monitors it all so you can handle things before they become situations. You already had the instincts. Now you have the hardware.
Don't just take our word for it
"I winked at the vending machine in the break room and it became a LibGuide. My director called it innovative. I called it an accident. We've agreed not to discuss it further."
– Perri Pheral
