The beginning of today's most recognizable swimming brand Speedo goes back to 1914, when it was known as Fortitude and produced underwear.

We all know how hard it can sometimes be to choose glasses, whether sunglasses or prescription glasses. Usually, the biggest dilemma is when choosing glasses that will fit our face well and at the same time be a decent fashion statement. So what kind of glasses should we choose to satisfy our taste, appearance and ultimately also adequately express our lifestyle?
Meet sunglasses that change your mood. How is this possible? With colors or chromotherapy, i.e. color therapy. It is one of the methods of alternative medicine, which uses colors and light to regulate energy in the human body and has an effect on both the spiritual and physical levels. This centuries-old knowledge is also used in sunglasses with interchangeable lenses from the brand Crown & Flint, whose different colored lenses affect our mood.
Glasses have been with us for a long time, and in addition to their primary role of protecting against rays or improving vision, they have long also served as a fashion accessory. And just like fashion, men's glasses have adapted to trends over time, so their history is full of interesting examples. Take a walk through the nearly century-long evolution of men's eyewear and see what was 'in' back in the day and what is 'in' today. A must-read for all hipsters!
Judging by the number of participants at this year's Oculus Connect VR 2 virtual reality conference, we are moving into virtual reality in 2016. Reality is really too cruel sometimes! Samsung also brought its virtual reality player to the conference, presenting the latest version of the Samsung Gear VR glasses, which are now compatible with more smartphones, including the still warm Galaxy S6 edge+, S6 and S6 edge. The prototype you are looking at is the final version and will be available to customers later this year. Across the pond in November, and shortly after that it will also splash in our vicinity.
The situation when we find ourselves in front of a range of sunglasses is always the same. We put one pair on our nose after another before we find out in this lottery which ones best suit our face. Because in the end, that's what counts, and not which one seems to please you the most. What if we told you that there is a shortcut to that conclusion? So that, based on the shape of your face, you can already at the start eliminate glasses that will certainly not suit you and those that will. And yes, summer may be coming to an end, but the sales are coming and with the new knowledge you will make a really good deal - for your wallet and for your appearance.
So much great music has been written under the influence of intoxicants, but that doesn't mean you have to take them yourself to fully experience it.

The headset with a wireless holographic computer shows the user holograms with three-dimensional objects over the real world, which he can control with the help of hand movements.
Google Glass is Google's smart glasses with an uncertain future. Mixing virtual reality and reality has apparently (at least for now) only been virtual reality for Google's revolutionary Google Glass, as it is no longer on sale as of today. But that doesn't mean their future is sealed. Smart glasses give way to a new version (it is not yet known when it will arrive), which will eliminate all the shortcomings of the first - a "swish" battery, an unfinished screen, poor audio support and an unaffordable price.
