Augmented Reality Smart Glasses: Research Findings.
Tourism industry is composed of numerous sectors which make it a complex system. As such, ICTs are contributing to smart tourism destinations competitiveness with new wearable devices. The system dynamics (SD) has been used to understand the human behaviour towards use of wearable smart glasses by breaking down the system into pieces and scrutinize each element of the system holistically.
Smartglasses or smart glasses are wearable computer glasses that add information alongside or to what the wearer sees.. In July 2013, Lucien Engelen started research on the usability and impact of Google Glass in health care. Engelen, who is based at Singularity University and in Europe at Radboud University Medical Center, is participating in the Glass Explorer program. Key findings of.
The topic in this thesis is exploring wearable computing in form of glasses. Wearable technologies are in the early stage of development and adaptation so there is a lot to explore on social acceptance and key use cases. In addition different design directions for the smart-glasses will be explored.
Electronically tintable glass developed by Research Frontiers changes the tint of any window, sunroof or skylight by electrically aligning tiny particles in a thin film within the glass or plastic. With the touch of a button, users can instantly change or tune the tint of their glass to help keep out harsh sunlight and 95% of the heat in its tinted (power off) state. Patented SPD-SmartGlass.
Based on my research, BOSE hopes to release smart glasses which use information gathered by motion sensors and GPS data in your mobile phone, connecting the two via Bluetooth. In doing so, not only can smart glasses determine your location, but also the general direction in which you’re facing. With that information, small speaker pipes transmit sound to your ears based on either audio cues.
Smart glasses need to double as prescription glasses, and consumers won’t accept glasses that don’t last a full day. Business applications, however, need to last only for a workday. 5.
Introducing Vaunt, Intel’s new smart glasses that project information directly onto the wearer’s retina with a low-intensity laser. All the hardware needed to project data and images is located in the inside of the upper stems of the glasses themselves. “We had to integrate very, very power-efficient light sources, MEMS devices for actually painting an image,” Jerry Bautista, wearable.
