Here's how I made some real life E.D.I.T.H smart glasses from the Marvel movie Spider-Man Far From Home. These AI smart glasses feature a transparent OLED screen that can display information on the users surroundings. Currently they scan the environment for text, then search found text online and return information such as definitions, locations, or solutions. All similar to the Glasses in the Spider-Man movie! Although, it's still a prototype, enjoy!
