hi this is jacob from the verge and i am wearing the golden eye and what this is is a wearable computer device that actually puts the entire computer on your head it's right now it's made by a company called copán but the technology is licensed by motorola solutions which makes a lot of rugged enterprise products so basically what they are seeing this of being in use is for public safety or manufacturing or even health care because it really allows you to be mobile with your hands and not and while still having complete control of a computer so what is right in front of my face below the line of sight is a point four four inch screen that actually appears as 15 inches when I look into it there's a two microphones up top because the entire thing is voice activated and I can actually since there's an accelerometer I can tilt my head to scroll through the options you can see on this screen over here that I can just talk through exactly so go to top go to top so this is the main general interfacing you'll see if I tilt my head to the left or right I can scroll or we're having or and I can just jump into separate applications pretty quickly so go to top go to top public safety so this is one use case they were showing off where basically if someone if a child is missing in on a convention center floor a security guard or someone wearing the gold and I can actually pull up the security cameras and get completely all the information on the surrounding area before they even arrived on the scene so command how do I pull up the command core mobile so now I can see the entire area and again by panning I'm going all around view camera one and now I'm looking at the security camera right over there pan left zoom level to pan down so again this just is really like meant for offering integrated solutions for any type of on-the-go help so another thing that you can see is that it has this camera right on the side so another application they're showing off is for medical professionals where they can actually integrate they can initiate a voice call and basically it turns the entire device into a Bluetooth headset and you can essentially have someone over your shoulder telling you what to do giving you medical instructions or something like that hardware-wise it's running a TI OMAP 3730 processor running at one gigahertz it has 512 megabytes of RAM as well as 512 megabytes of internal storage but there's also a microSD card slot which can expand up to 32 gigs it has bluetooth integrated and then also we're in the verizon wireless booth where they're going to be offering a 4G LTE dongle that you can use on your belt two offers can a connectivity wherever you are as well as the option to tether through your smartphone to get kind of get online that way so this is the golden eye and they definitely think that in within a couple of years this kind of technology is going to get smaller and smaller and we saw it at CES a couple of years ago but it eventually will make its way down in some form but for now it's just targeted at the enterprise
