The high-tech glasses use facial recognition technology to pinpoint suspects in crowded areas, included train stations.
According to

The app brings up the suspect's vital information, including name, ethnicity, gender and address.
It also tells officers whether the suspects are on the run from the law, the address of the hotel where they are staying and information related to their internet usage.
So far, the technology has allowed police to nab seven suspects accused of crimes ranging from human trafficking to hit and runs, as well as another 26 people who were using fake IDs.
The system is part of China's wider efforts to build a digital
system to keep close tabs on the movements of the entire population.
As well as police, banks are also beginning to use facial recognition - letting users pay with their face instead of cards at cash machines.
