Even though the glasses look normal, they weigh slightly more than regular frames and have a small battery in the left temple piece that’s connected to the lenses, which are covered with liquid crystal sheets. The fogging mode is activated by a small button on the right temple piece and the spectacles sell for 150 dollars in Japan and can be fitted with prescription lenses for an extra charge.
