Concerns explode over new teen risks from vaping

University of Utah graduate student Nazmul Hasan is the first to admit that the glasses he helped design may not look cool. But what these prototypes lack in style, they make up for in smart design. An app will download one’s eyeglass prescription to the frames. From then on, the specs will focus on whatever the wearer looks at, such as a phone text. The frames send out light pulses that bounce off surfaces in front of them to calculate the distance. Tiny motors then bend the lenses, made of liquid glycerin, as much as the prescription calls for. Voila! The text will come into focus. — Stephen Ornes

HuH? Text/title don't match. The glasses sure sound better the the ones I have been fighting, though.
