If you are wearing glasses, then you must have face the problem of constantly pushing your glasses up as they slide down your nose in every few minutes.
A new patent awarded to Google outlines a system built into a wearable device like Google Glass, which uses motors and motion detectors to automatically tighten or loosen the glasses' arms depending on what the wearer is doing.
The new glass would have an actuator -- a little motor which will be used for controlling the movement in each arm that will make it bend upwards or downwards according to the position of your google glass.
This could be a massive boon for athletes who choose not to wear their glasses when active, for fear of breaking them. The actuators could also help solve the one-size-fits-all approach that many glasses have to fitting.
In case the glasses are too wide for someone's face, the actuators could automatically resize the glasses so that they fit snugly.
However, there is no guarantee that Google will be looking to implement this particular patent in Glass.
According to a Google spokesperson, some patents turn into products, and some do not.
