Epson Moverio: the fourth generation

Do you know what are the smartglasses? They are glasses for the augmented reality. Epson Moverio launched its new serie after almost a decade from its last model. Let’s discover together the characteristics.

What are the smartglasses?

We are talking about smart glasses that have inside them a real computer. Once wore them they can give to who is wearing them specific informations about what he sees and about what he asks for. They put on a corner of the viewer eye the answers to the asked questions.

For this reason they are often called “wearable computer glasses”. They are able to change the optic characteristics in the development phase. They gave an augmented reality to the viewer, as much as that they allow him, for example, to change the colour of the objects viewed with the lens.

How do they work?

The overlapping of informations on the view field is obtained through an optical display put on the head. Some models instead have wireless devices incorporated in the display itself.

These systems have the ability to reflect the digital images screened and they allow the user to see through them and to see better.

The first models, which were born about 15 years ago, can do basic activities. An example? They bring what they see on the display front-end to a remote system.

The new models evolved and they allow us to straight interface with our smartphone. Some of these infact are managed with the voice with an integrated system and they can collect informations to store on our own phone.
