Features wearable electronics (manipulation with reality)

No comments
In this post we will focus on three brands of glasses that allow the manipulation of reality.
We will start with Google glass. These points are developed as a headset to the smartphone, based on Android. The tasks that are put in front of them, it is trivial. Finding information on the Internet, communication via the microphone and headphone jacks, video recording. Roughly speaking, this is the same smartphone with a screen in front of the eye and a quick access to functions. These glasses are focused more on the business category of citizens, or those who used to constantly consume information and to operate it. Distinctive features - compactness, wearing comfort, focus on presenting information.
The second patient advocates helmet Oculus Rift. This device, positioned as a headset to a PC. Aimed at gamers, and contributes to a more complete immersion in the virtual world. This helmet is suitable for gaming and for watching movies. The downside appears large, multiple connection cables. Yes, it is not as compact and miniature like Google glasses, but more qualitatively reproduces the effect of presence.
And extreme in this series of devices, perform HoloLens, least studied, but more promising project from Microsoft. This machine is a single device that does not require synchronization with a smartphone or PC. Images broadcast on a wide lens, thus synchronizing with the position of the human body and the surrounding space. In the promotional video from Microsoft, can be traced tendency to "fix" the desired category, in some parts of the room. For example, the weather forecast is always displayed in the corner of the room, and a shopping list - on the refrigerator. At the same time Microsoft has not only viewing images and manipulate them by hand movements. This project looks more presentable, but it does not take into account the period of operation of such points, charging methods and implementation of object manipulation of augmented reality.
Summing up, we can say that Google Glass - people-oriented for which is important permanent access to the Internet and handling the flow of information. Oculus Rift - is a great headset for watching movies and immersion in virtual reality. HoloLens perfect synthesis of all desired, but at the moment, the most far from its final appearance.
