INTELLIGENT INDIA Réalité augmentée : Google rachète des brevets à Foxconn pour ses Glass par Margaux Duquesne, le 26 août 2013 12:13 La société Google vient de racheter des brevets à Foxconn : ces derniers protègent une technologie de réalité augmentée et devraient très probablement servir à développer les prochaines Google Glass. Nul ne peut affirmer que ce brevet servira bien aux futures Google Glass mais il ne serait pas très risqué de le parier. Bon nombre d’observateurs pensent que ces brevets devront être utilisés pour les Google Glass qui sont actuellement au stade de prototype et devraient sortir officiellement l’année prochaine (la sortie prévue auparavant fin 2013 a été repoussée).

Last December, the Samaritans are said to have received 244,000 calls from people suffering from depression and stress across Britain and Ireland. Alone at Christmas...
Google Glass Security, Privacy Worries Complicate Wide Adoption As a Google Explorer, Anthony Pettenon wears his enthusiasm for technology on his face. A member of Google's program to expose its always-on Glass devices to the real world, the sophomore at the University of Tampa in Florida regularly wears the devices to class and out around the city. People are not worried about being around an always-on device, while the convenience and connectedness of the device is just cool, Pettenon says. At the Black Hat security conference in July, for example, security researcher Brendan O'Connor showed off an inexpensive system of wireless sensors and analysis algorithms that could allow anyone to track the movements of a large number of people around a city by listening for signals from their mobile devices.Dubbed CreepyDOL, the system highlights how much information people leak into the digital world just by walking around with a smartphone or tablet.
