But don't get too excited about the iOptik  device coming out soon as the company doesn't plan on selling the device any time soon. The company instead expects to be able to find potential manufacturers who are willing to pay it a licence fee to use it in their devices. Also, the device needs to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before it can be ready for manufacturing and the company is expected to do so only by late this year.

Whether the device is ready for sale or not, the iOptik seems like a pretty good piece of wearable technology.
