    Google Reveals Project Glass, HUD in Your Eyeglasses

    Google finally revealed Project Glass, an augmented-reality experiment with HUD interface in an eyeglass-like frame that brings the Internet to a small screen above the right eye, the gadget streams data to the wearer’s eyes in real time. You can watch the demo video below showing what you can expect from wearing such gadget from the perspective of someone wearing the glasses, receiving up-to-the-minute updates as information streamed into his glasses:

    Google X Labs, which incubated Project Glass, is starting to see the light of day. We first saw the driver-less car and now Project X experience that was exclusive to Sci-Fi movies. Here is what Google had to say about the experiment:

    We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.

    A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.

    Is a HUD interface with such type of user experience anything you may be interested in or you don’t need more distractions?

  • Qualcomm Releases Augmented Reality SDK For iOS


    Qualcomm has released its Augmented Reality Software Development Kit (SDK) for iOS. The SDK allows iOS developers to create impressive augmented reality applications, and is available to download now. The technology is impressive, and we’re looking forward to seeing Qualcomm AR SDK apps hit our own iOS App Store soon.

    Qualcomm’s new SDK is available for Android developers, and one example app is Inch High Stunt Guy, which allows users to control a bike-riding stuntman as he cruises across a tabletop. Check out the video below:

    The Qualcomm Augmented Reality SDK is available to download from here, and supports the iPhone 4, iPad 2 and fourth generation iPod touch.
