- rmccue 15y agoIn comparison though, there's no way I'd ever be caught wearing either of those. Google's glasses, on the other hand, are unobtrusive enough that I'd probably wear them. Importantly, they don't cover your entire face. Given that the area around the eyes is one of the key areas for facial recognition, I'm surprised how popular the band-style glasses are.
- ralfd 15y agoYep. But you need that area for battery and electronics and as a frame to cover the whole field of vision with a screen. I wonder what one is seeing and able to do with the Google glasses. My guess is: not much. The science-fiction concept video is not helping in that.
- Retric 15y agoYou don't want / need to cover your full field of vision. A 400 x 200 pixel display that covers 2-3% of your field of view and an unobtrusive system to get it there close to perfect for this kind of thing. Otherwise I might as well just look at a screen.
- zupreme 15y agoIt's telling that in the Moverio product video, Epson doesn't show a single image of a person actually wearing the glasses.... Yes, I know that there is a pic on the product page, if you scroll down.
