Work Vacation” (Work+Vacation), a way to enjoy a vacation while working, has been attracting attention, but the image of fun is all that comes to mind. Work Vacation is the time to prepare the necessary items and to be creative so as not to waste time.
In this section, we would like to introduce some items that are useful for efficient workcation.
The first item featured is a pair of eyeglass frames called “HUAWEI Eyewear. The frames are equipped with speakers in the temples, which can be wirelessly connected to a PC or smartphone via Bluetooth for hands-free online meetings and voice calls.
What is very unique is that it is an open-ear type that does not block the ear, but has the ability to prevent sound leakage through inverted sound waves. You can hear the other person’s voice clearly to you, but not to those around you. Of course, like most earphones, if you play music at maximum volume, a slight crackling sound will be heard by the person immediately next to you, but they will not be able to hear the content.
And the “OWNDAYS x HUAWEI Eyewear” (32,780 yen), a collaboration with the OWNDAYS eyeglass chain, offers the optional “SNAP LENS” (1,650 yen) that can be detached with a magnet and used as sunglasses, allowing users to quickly switch between on (work) and It is possible to quickly switch between on (work) and off (vacation).
Incidentally, OWNDAYS’ SNAP LENS has a powerful polarizing function that reduces glare, but also makes PC and smartphone screens almost invisible. If you tilt your head slightly, you may be able to see them, but I’ll take this as a positive sign that it is an on/off switch.
There are a few things that are a little frustrating when using the device. For example, as the catalog specs indicate that the device is capable of 6 hours of audio playback, a gutsy online conference or voice call will result in a low-battery alert.
It also requires a special 2-way cable to charge the battery, which must be carried with it when traveling. This was actually experienced several times, but when using the device in the summer, it sometimes froze when I noticed it, although I do not know if this was due to heat or sweat. The device does not have a button on it, and it could not be rebooted by itself.
Nevertheless, for someone like the author who usually wears glasses, it is not particularly heavy and is far more natural to use than other wearable devices such as smartwatches, and once you experience its advantages, it is so comfortable that you cannot get out of it.
In situations such as trekking, cycling, fishing, and various winter sports, being able to listen to your favorite music while feeling the sounds of your surroundings and not leaking them to your surroundings gives you a sense of oneness with nature like never before. This is an excellent product that can be used both on and off workcations.
