Absolute Comments On Google Unveiling Project Glass Augmented Reality Eyewear

April 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Absolute is excited about the recent developments that Google has put forward to the public for discussion. They have showcased glasses that are transparent, with a microphone and partly-transparent video screen that places information over the view from the users' right eye. The product's developers said they wanted feedback on the idea. The Managing Director of Absolute said, ‘all I want to know is when this product will be on the market for us to buy, these developments are so exciting.’

"A group of us... started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment," said a statement from Google X - the firm's experimental lab. "We're sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input."

This product offers many features and yet to advance as more companies start hopping on the band wagon. There are 14 different services will be offered to the user when the glasses are first put on, including information about the weather, their location and diary appointments. It appears that several of these services are either triggered by an action taken by the user or the situation they are in. Absolute is a successful sales and marketing company based in Chelmsford and prides themselves on being the first to know and try out gadgets like this. Josh Pease is the Managing Director of Absolute and says, ‘advancements like this make me wonder what the year 2030 is going to look like.’

There is a video out that shows what technical capabilities the devise has - the film shows one user being reminded he has a date that evening when he looks up at a blank wall, and then warns him that there is a 10% chance it will rain when he looks out of the window. The video suggests that the device would involve a GPS chip to help deliver location specific alerts an alert pops up when a friend sends a text asking if he wants to meet up later in the day. When the user dictates a reply a microphone symbol is superimposed over much of his view. Other functions include Google Maps showing a route to the wearer's destination with small arrows keeping him on track, the ability to take a photo of what he is looking at with an option to share it with friends, and a video conference service. ‘These capabilities are truly amazing,’ continues the MD of Absolute.
