Nissan is set to unveil a glasses-type wearable computer specifically designed for drivers later this month.
The company launched a dark, futuristic video this week, previewing the Nissan 3E. The steamy clip features a shirtless model, intense music and just a short peek at the gadget, which looks like a souped-up version of Google Glass.

Nissan's headpiece could compete with Glass, which has already posed problems for drivers. Last month, a California woman was issued the first-ever ticket for driving with Glass; her violation read "Driving with monitor visible to driver (Google Glass)."
Nissan said that 3E is still under development. The device "can be connected to the Internet in real time, allowing the users to overlay acquired information on the glasses, record projected images and communicate with others by sending information to their glasses," according to a company statement,
Further details about its features aren't yet available, but Car and Driver reported that 3E stands for "third eye."
This won't be Nissan's first foray into wearable tech. In September, the company introduced a smartwatch designed to connect drivers to their cars. The watch can track the car's performance data, monitor its efficiency and connect to a wearer's social-media platforms.
Nissan said the 3E will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show, which runs from Nov. 22 to Dec. 1.
