LAS VEGAS, CES 2014 – Hyundai will reveal an app for its 2015 Hyundai Genesis vehicle that will allow drivers to wirelessly operate certain features using Google Glass and other wearable devices.
The remote features (currently still under development) work via Hyundai’s cloud-based Blue Link platform.
Is it your wish to try out Google Glass, and have you missed every opportunity to do so thus far? Well, if so, and you are a Play Music All Access subscriber, it looks like today may be your lucky day. To celebrate the successful launch of Google Music for the new version of Glass, the team at Mountain View is sending out invites to users who have already subscribed to the monthly service on either their Android- or iOS- powered smartphones, giving them the opportunity to “sign up” to the Explorer database, which, in turn, will give them the facility to purchase their very own Google Glass unit.
A new book called Dogfight: How Apple and Google Went to War and Started a Revolution by Fred Vogelstein revealed the mechanism by which Apple influenced the direction of Android — shock and awe.
Yes, the introduction of the iPhone changed the direction of smartphones. But I don’t think it’s going to happen again in the wearables market. Here’s why.
Atheer One glasses could put Android-powered, gesture-based computing on your face.
Helped along by a sci-fi-style concept video, a new Google Glass competitor called the Atheer One shot halfway to its $100,000 crowd-funding goal in just a day.
“In a few years, the digital world with all its rich information will be completely merged with the real one,” says Atheer Labs in its Indiegogo campaign for the Atheer One, which has already raised more than $54,000. “Let’s get the future started today!”
What does that future look like, according to Atheer? Take a look at the video below and see for yourself.
Who says Google Glass is only good for making you look like a certified dork? Four animators recently got creative with the head-mounted gadget, using Google’s wearable tech to capture imagery for a clever stop-motion video called Catch.
“We shot this entirely on Google Glass over 4 days, with over 1,000 photos and drawings,” write the filmmakers on their YouTube page for Catch. “Made by a group of animator and filmmaker friends here in New York, jamming on the weekends.”
The four filmmakers are Tu Uthaisri, Freddy Arenas, Namroc Doan and Isam Prado. Check out their handiwork above.
