Google Glass

A Google megmutatta mit is fog tudni a Google Glass.

Aki az Egyesült Államokban él, van arra ötlete hogy mit csinálna a Glass-szel és még 1500 USD-t is rászánna a dologra, az hamarosan kaphat is egy ilyen kütyüt. A DIY mozgalom lelkes híveinek ajánlom Rod Furlan Build Your Own Google Glass írását.

 

Nekem speciel nagyon bejön a Glass, de érdemes szemezgetni a IEEE Spectrum Babak Parviz-zal (a Glass Project vezetője) folytatott beszélgetéséből. A teljes interjú elolvasható itt. Lent kiemeltem az engem legjobban izagtó három kérdést: hogyan működik az I/O, mennyire univerzális az eszköz (pl. telefonálásra alkalmas-e) és hogy mennyire bírja szuflával.

IEEE Spectrum: How will people interact with Google Glass?

Babak Parviz: Right now, we have a touch pad on the device that allows people to change things on the device if they wish to do so. We have also experimented a lot with using voice commands. We have full audio in and audio out, which is a nice, natural way of interacting with something that you’d wear and always have with you. We have also experimented with some head gestures.

IEEE Spectrum: What about accepting a phone call on Google Glass? Will that be possible?

Babak Parviz: We are working on it.

IEEE Spectrum: Some of the most exciting apps for Google Glass, like video, are also the biggest power hogs. How are you addressing the challenge of battery life?

Babak Parviz: That’s a valid concern. We have done a lot of work in this area, and it is still a work in progress. Our hope is that the battery life would be sufficient for the whole day. That’s our target. So you would put the device on in the morning and you’d go about your daily routine. By the time you got back home, the device would still be functioning.
