Epson Moverio BT-200 hands-on review: Augmented reality smart glasses. The first thing that needs to be said about the £649 Epson Moverio BT-200 (available in May) is that they are not trying to be Google Glass.
They are about as different as Android smart glasses could possibly be. Whereas Google Glass is designed to be sleek and pretty hidden, the Moverio BT-200 comparatively is big, chunky and in your face. While the BT-200 weighs only 88g and are significantly smaller than its predecessor the BT-100, they are still not smaller enough to be described as natural feeling. Follow our coverage of CES 2014 live too. The Espon Moverio BT-200 works by showing you two tiny screens that are located in the middle of the lenses with a pixel resolution of 960 x 540. Theses smart glasses run Android 4.0.4 with the ability to download apps from the Epson store, and can be controlled mainly by an accompanying hand-held touchpad that is connected to glasses via a cable.
At £649 these glasses aren’t cheap, which begs the question: are they worth the money? Samsung patent rethinks the keyboard for augmented reality wearables. A recently discovered Samsung patent may shed some light on a new device.
This isn’t believed to be a new smartphone or wrist wearable, though. The patent in question is thought to be the keyboard for an unannounced head wearable, much like Google Glass. The patent aims to redefine the keyboard, instead asking that we use our hands as the keyboard rather than on one. By assigning each part of your hand a different letter to touch, thumb typing just got weird. The goal seems to be for us to use our thumbs to touch parts of the other four fingers, which should be a ton of fun if you’ve had a few too many.
The First Keyboard To Work With Google Glass. True to our promise, we’ve made comfortable typing a reality on smart watches, smart TVs, game controllers, touchless motion devices, and now—smart glasses.
The beauty of a one-line keyboard is the number of different ways you can use it, with all different kinds of sensors. Your typical augmented reality headset is equipped with at least a small touchpad, a motion sensor, and a camera. We’ve worked with Google Glass for a few months now, and have built versions that let you type either using the touchpad, or by detecting subtle head movement. This is shown in the first part of the video, and we actually prefer the head-tracking technique, which lets you feel like you’re looking at the letters that you want to type.
In the final portion of the video, we show some proof-of-concept techniques, which wouldn’t all necessarily work with the current version of Google Glass.
