New Google Glass – All you need to know

To be successful wearable technology should be as invisible as possible. The new Google Glass pointing in this direction. Among other things, you can take pictures by simply blinking.

For a select few, mostly developer, participating in the Google Glass Explorer Program, this year’s Christmas has come early. Two weeks ago, users were seen Glass deliver an email target a Big G in which they were offered the chance to replace your model with a new and fresh update.

Today, for the first time the new model has been revealed, and the new features are very interesting. A Mountain View seem to have decided to listen to criticism, because in the case of the new Glass was added to a removable headset, which should allow a good quality of listening in noisy situations.

But the most interesting has to do with the photos. Google has introduced a new kind of gestural interface that allows the user to take pictures just blinked. A novelty certainly functional, but that will raise the usual fuss. After all, this way you can capture images in any situation without giving way to those around you realize it. Far from being a mere whim. The functionality Wink is the first step towards a new type of user interface. In the sights of Google in the future you will be able to blink to do anything.

Imagine that one day you’re in the back of a taxi, and you need only to look at the meter to pay. ” Google said in a statement, ” my sympathy to a pair of shoes, and you will bring a couple of your numbers directly to house. Whisk the lashes while watching a cookbook and the recipe appears before my eyes.

Among other innovations, Google has introduced enhanced integration with Hangouts, a new system of unlocking the device and the ability to upload video clips taken with the smart-glasses directly to YouTube. According to what has been revealed by the company, then, the new model will be faster and will have a greater autonomy of charge.

With this new batch of changes, Google places its Glass a cut closer to the horizon of the ” wearable technology concealed. ” The principle is that the wearable devices must be so functional, performance and avant-garde, but still they must first be comfortable, less bulky as possible, in a word: invisible. This does not mean that only a couple of smart-glasses to be lightweight and respond to ergonomic principles, be able to be used with the least use of physical and mental energy as possible.

Contrary to what many may think, the future and I hope that all companies that want to approach with a minimum criterion of this type of technology, users will not be populated by slaves of their own technology. The wearable technologies can have a future if they pursue the opposite goal, namely to free the user from the burden of technology, transforming all the operations that today are distracting, in microinterruptions performed automatically, a little how to raise your wrist to check the time.

The new Google Glass seem to point in this direction. To confirm this, you must wait at least April 2014, when the smart-glasses Big G will be made available to the general public.
