2018-01-09
the views explained our augmented reality glasses they have one display that floats here in my eye and there's a touchpad on the side so it's kind of like Google glass five he's also connect with Amazon Alexa so when you have voice control you can tap in all sorts of services that you would normally use to say control things in your smart home or around your home here at this convention hall apparently the connection isn't working so we can't even test that but it's supposed to work the display allows you to browse a couple of games there's Firefox on here there's a tank demo there's some music and other controls you're meant to pair bluetooth headphones to this this doesn't have audio but it does have microphones and the idea of this is really to explore not just the heads-up display but how voice AI works with something like smart glasses so I can shoot I can see it right now it's floating right here in my eye and it can turn around I can shoot things while having the image float here is exploding perfectly right in front of you it will square screen on this I I can I can tap in control here and she tanks there's also a camera on the music's played so I can look around see what I'm shooting in tap just like Google glass like Google glass returns in order to navigate you swipe in you tab or you could use two fingers to swipe to exit back to the main menu it's not meant to be an immersive experience like augmented reality and mixed reality that you might have been seeing recently that's similar to VR this is really a heads-up display so it's about that big in my eye Amazon's opened up Alexa to work with a lot of things wearable and even in smart glasses so you could probably expect a lot more things like the blade to come in the future but this is the first one in a pair of smart glasses that we've seen and the blade is not going to be cheap but it's going to be available soon first to developers and then to others you might want to dive in and try using voice controls with augmented reality in a heads up smart glass but whatever reasons they want
