We have covered a number of Glass accessories in the past including Tactical Cell, Wall Charger, Sticky Bud, etc. but nothing has been as revolutionary as Third Eye, a thermal imaging accessory for Google Glass.

Third Eye shows the thermal image of anything in front of you onto your Google Glass screen using a custom hardware that gets attached to Google Glass. It’s developed by Round Concept LLC, a company started by Ivan Arbouzov, a night vision industry veteran.

Here is the official description:

The Third Eye attachment provides a thermal life [sic] video feed into the Google Glass’ viewfinder hence rendering it a thermal vision system. Result is adding a whole new dimension to the functionality and applications of the Glass. Variables of applications are incredibly wide thanks to the Glass’ features and the compact and affordable solution developed by the Round Concept. Adding the “thermal” to the Glass significantly increases the combined value of the system making it the most affordable head-mounted thermal system in the world. All together, the system is a breakthrough for the professional and amateur uses alike.

We do not know the pricing and availability of Third Eye yet but we will share those with you as soon as they are announced.

Third Eye opens up a whole new era of exploration possibilities for Google Glass and we are really excited to see what Explorers do with thermal imaging on Google Glass. Hit us up in the comments below to let us know if you plan to pick up Third Eye for your Google Glass.
