The Google Glass is an incredible technological innovation. It allows its user to view social media and camera features through a heads up display embedded in a pair of eye glasses. The only problem with this device is that it has a tendency to create a socially awkward situation. People tend to feel uncomfortable when they can't distinguish whether or not a person is listening to them, or reading their Google Glass. A team of engineers and scientists from Nokia feel that they have crated the solution to this problem. Their invention is a small telescope-like device that has all of the capabilities of the Google Glass. They feel that because it is more obvious when the device is being used or not, it will create a less strange environment when in use. The device features a circular display and accelerometer that allow one to interact with it. Although it may seem trivial, this research development could be the next step towards wearable technology.
Is this part of the reason why google glass is not a huge success? I heard that it is one of the biggest technology flops that google has produced.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I am not sure if people are going to feel more comfortable with people looking through tiny telescope-like products pointed at their direction.
