The second image shows the list of classes to choose. The Third image shows the drawn map with the green line to follow. The fourth image shows the directional arrow that points the user in the right direction. The last image is the screen that is shown when the location is reached, accompanied with a 'back' button and a 'home' button.

The navigation device, code-name: Spectacle is a device that allows the user to navigate their way around a city using only their glasses or sunglasses. The device is a small chip put into the right-side frame, which displays information on the chip. The chip can also be removed and put into a computer to save certain locations or classes.

             Spectacle focusses on the nitty-gritty details, what classrooms are needed at what time and a way to navigate to them efficiently. The glowing faint appearance makes them easy to use, as it won’t block the users vision from what is in front of them, while still being quite visible.

On the left lens of the frame there is a small nano-camera, which provides the navigation device with three extra options: Save Image, Delete Image and Recalculate. Save and Delete Image are self-explanatory options. Recalculate allows the device to take an image of road works or a dead end, and recalculate a new route to the location. This is the most effective feature of the device, allowing it to bypass traffic jams, calculate new routes to a location without getting stuck.

Spectacle is based off the Google Augmented Reality Glasses, with a new compact appearance that makes it seem as if the user is wearing a simple pair of glasses.
