Hardware The Seleste glasses feel similar to regular sunglasses, except that the arms are thicker to hold the electronics, and there is a small camera right between the eyes. There are also two buttons on the right arm, and a touchpad on the right arm near the hinge. Both arms have a wide and thick part near the front, and a significantly narrower part resting above your ears that curves at the end. In addition, there's a speaker built in to the right arm. The glasses come with a protective case, and they charge through a micro USB port on the right arm.

I’m albino. My eyes are … different. In many ways, the world is not built for me. Every time I open Outlook on my iPhone and FaceID pops up, I have to pull the phone far away from its usual position — an inch and a half from my face — because the LIDAR sensors on the front that identify me were not designed to work at a distance that makes sense for my eyes.
