It has been mentioned a number of times, in at least Thunderbirds are go, that Brains has a tendency to overengineer his inventions to ensure reliability and an ability to work in unexpected situations. As such, it is rare that the Thunderbird vehicles cannot handle the rescues they are assigned.

In the mid-1980s, Gerry Anderson proposed to develop a Thunderbirds re-make, T-Force. [13] As part of the updating of characters, vehicles and settings, Brains' myopia and stutter were to have been removed, and the character re-imagined as an eloquent computer scientist. [13] [14] In the late 1990s, before Jonathan Frakes replaced Peter Hewitt as director of the then-undeveloped live-action film adaptation, co-producer Tim Bevan approached comedian Rowan Atkinson with a view to offering him the role of Brains.

In both cases the LEDs are tiny, just 4 µm in size, but TCL’s team developed a proprietary algorithm that enables the Thunderbird glasses to show a full-color image.

Thunderbirds Water Bottle - Brains

Anthony Edwards, who portrayed Brains in the completed 2004 film, enjoyed the role primarily on account of the character's stutter. [16] In an interview for Starburst magazine, Edwards stated that his children "made me be absolutely true to the original Brains – it was very important to them." [16] Marit Annen, the film's costume designer, pictured the character as "the kind of archetypal forgetful scientist; the only thing that's hi-tech about him is his shoes". [17] The glasses that the live-action Brains wears, while intended to be reminiscent of the original "pebble lenses", were made as smaller and "slightly more modern" half-frame spectacles.

PS. you may remember the Ray-Ban Stories that launched recently, smart glasses with a Wayfarer design. Those don't have a display, though, and neither do the Razer Anzu. Also, the HTC Vive Flow from yesterday is a VR headset (though it has cameras, so it can sort-of function like glasses). Having a display puts the Thunderbirds (and the Xiaomi concept glasses) in a completely different category, even if all of these are colloquially called “smart glasses”. Thunderbird, an emerging electronics company " incubated" by TCL, has announced its first possibly market-ready AR product, the Smart Glasses Pioneer Version. This pair of spectacles is, as the name suggests, the kind of 'true' smart glasses that integrate a working, partially transparent display capable of overlaying a mixed-reality display over the wearer's real-world surroundings. The Thunderbird Smart Glasses Pioneer Version use holographic light waveguide and full-color MicroLED display technology, through Thunderbird Innovation’s self-developed light wave coupling analysis optimization algorithm and unique full-color micro display engine, taking into account thin and light and high bright full-color display, becoming the industry’s first binocular full-color MicroLED holographic light waveguide AR glasses. a b " Thunderbirds Creator Gerry Anderson 'A Creative Genius' ".
