The signs that Sony is getting close to releasing their head-mounted wearable devices are starting to add up. Last week we saw an FCC filing surface for the SED-E1 accompanied by the release of official social media apps for Facebook and Twitter intended to operate on SmartEyeglass devices. Now Sony has released their own dedicated app for SmartEyeglass to the Google Play store.

The SmartEyeglass app is intended for the same model, SED-E1, that just passed through the FCC. According to Sony's description, the app will be used to control different settings of SmartEyeglass and manage the apps the device can access.

Sony has also released a video that demonstrates their SmartEyeglass Attach device, which is supposed to be the version of SmartEyeglass that can be attached to any pair of eyeglass or sunglasses. This contrasts with Google Glass which has a dedicated frame that the unit rides on. The demo video also shows some use cases indicating how Sony sees the device being able to augment reality for the user.
