Primarily, we endeavored to produce mini-sized USB flash disks since we wanted to take them everywhere. But also due to their small size, we find it difficult to find the USB flash disks when we urgently need one.

It is not a real pair of eyeglasses but merely a USB flash disk shaped like that. It stores 2GB of data in its 2mm frame which also doubles as a bookmark. If they could work as real glasses, we bet the Glasses USB would be more popular.
