While you are probably here to learn more about online backup systems and how they can help you to save data and worry less about losing it due to malfunction, theft or human error – maybe it’s time to take a break and learn what’s new in the tech world!
Of course the world was taken by storm by the Google Glass Smartglasses revolution. Everyone gasped at the idea of this product and what it would enable us to do in the early stages – now these functions are realised and even more excitement is experienced by supporters. These devices have made their mark and even sport designs from well known and sought after brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley. From the average man on the street, to computer nerds, to super models and movie stars – these glasses are loved and adored!
With a multitude of apps you would think that Google had thought of it all, but with new developments and apps it has become obvious that this is just the beginning. If you plan on getting out and about with your Google Glass then you can expect to get limited joy from voice commands and the touch-sensitive pad which is said to only offer basic functionality and features. What now? Well this is where the newest and most impressive app of them all comes in! A company called On the Go Platforms in Portland is looking at helping the Google Glass to communicate much in the same way as the Kinect – in a form of sign language.
ARI (Augmented Reality Interface), which is what this sort of program is called, has absolutely no requirements for speaking, buttons or keypads and is being called the “Siri” of the Google Glass world! At the moment the development team is working on hand gesture recognition and are creating a library of gestures and settings to incorporate into this app. While this brings about a whole new meaning to “hands free”, many are excited about what they will be able to do next on their Google Glass devices.
