technologies and media development.
Ambient Intelligence Electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Devices work in concert to support people in carrying out their everyday activities. The technology disappears into our surroundings until only the user interface remains perceivable by users.
Eye Tap Technology • Eye Tap is a device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a eye to record the scene available to the eye as well as a display.
Eye Tap intakes the world around it and augments the image the user sees allowing it to overlay computer-generated data over top of the normal world the user would perceive.
4G Technology 4G is
This system provides mobile ultra broadband Internet access with data rates of 300Mbps in mobility to 1Gbps while stationary.
The data speed can make the device run about its purpose.
Android Android is a Linux-based operating for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers, developed by Google in conjunction with the Open handset Alliance.
Augmented Reality Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment.
Real-world elements are augmented by generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.
How It Works ? “ Ok Glass “
Its features with the small video display that is used to display the pop up hands free information.
It has a front facing video camera with which photos and videos can be taken in a glimpse.
Button A single button on the side of the frame sophisticates the glasses to work with the physical touch input. It can be used in multipurposeful ways and it acts according to the context.
Microphone A microphone is also put in, that can take the voice commands of the wearer of user. This microphone is also used for having telephonic communication.
Easy to wear and use. Sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Fast access of maps, documents, videos, chats and much more. A new trend for fashion lovers together being an innovative technology. A spectacle based computer to reside directly on your eyes rather than in your pouch or pocket. A useful technology for all kinds of handicapped/disabled people.
Can be easily broken or damaged. Users will have a tough time taking care of it.
It may lead to accidents while driving.
The resource for running these glasses is still unknown. Will there be a battery or it will run using solar energy?
Privacy of people may breach with new glasses.
Can be used only in metro cities.
Google Glass is as futuristic a gadget we’ve seen in recent times. It’s limited in scope right now, but the future, Google believes, is bright and the device itself is “incredibly compelling”.
Google is trying their hardest to push the Project Glass through the FCC this year. Reports show that Google is trying to get the approval by the FCC this year but there are already several hundred glasses made for testing internally.
