DVF fashion show model wearing Google Glass

We’ve seen Google’s augmented reality eyewear in a variety of situations, worn by Google co-founder Sergey Brin at a charity event, in a TV interview with X Lab founder and even donned by skydivers parachuting on Moscone Center during Google I/O 2012 that saw the introduction of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but each time it was under then confines of Google’s own universe.

Well now Project Glass has broken free and has taken on the catwalk at New York’s Fashion Week. Diane von Furstenberg partnered with Google and the augmented reality glasses were donned by models backstage and on the runway and by members of the production team for the past week. The glasses were also donned by the designer herself who was seen sitting next to Sergey Brin during the DVF show.

Google Project Glass patent: a ring wearable marker reflecting IR light

Google is in full-speed research and development mode with its Project Glass augmented reality eyewear project. When Project Glass was first announced we heralded it as the first step to popularizing wearable computing and Google is hard at work devising ways to make them even more interesting.

A Google patent that has just been published details how a wearable marker, like a ring, a bracelet or even a decal attached to a fingernail may be used to control a head-mounted display (HMD), i.e. Project Glass. The HMD includes an infrared (IR) camera that detects IR radiation reflected from the wearable marker. The wearer can perform different hand gestures, which will then be tracked by the camera and translated to actions. Pretty nifty huh?

Sebastian Thrun wearing Project Glass headset at Charlie Rose interview

We’ve already seen Google’s Project Glass augmented reality glasses in public, worn by Google co-founder Sergey Brin at a charity event, however this is the first time that we are seeing them on video and supposedly in action.

Google X Lab’s (the company’s incubator of fantastical futuristic products) founder and head, Sebastian Thrun, was at an interview with Charlie Rose, wearing his team’s latest prototype. This is of course a pair of Project Glass eyewear. On their previous appearance, Sergey didn’t actively use the headset, but Sebastian has been a bit more forthcoming.

Robert Scoble and Sergey Brin wearing Google's Project Glass AR eyewear

While revealing Project Glass, the company’s project to create augmented reality glasses, Google made known that it will be publicly testing devices. Well it didn’t take too long for the first pair of prototype eyewear to to be spotted in the wild. The glasses were donned by none other than Google co-founder Sergey Brin at a Dining in the Dark charity event.

Rackspace’s Robert Scoble spotted Brin wearing them and joined him in the above picture. Robert noted that the glasses looked very lightweight and although Brin was wearing a backpack they seemed to be self-contained. Although Brin refused to lend them to Robert, he did see images flashing in the small transparent glass display.

Google Project Glass augmented reality glasses

Hold on tight as this could be one of the coolest things in tech. It’s been long-rumored that Google has been working on augmented reality (AR) glasses and the search giant has now officially confirmed the project on a Google+ page. The project named “Project Glass” is run by Google X Lab, the company’s super-cool innovation lab that has been tackling challenging projects like the self-driving car and a space elevator.

Project Glass is a first step to wearable computing, putting the information directly in front of your eyes in the form of a see-through display in a slim pair of glasses. Google is now privately testing the technology and has released a number of concept design images for the AR glasses. The clear display is located above the eye, the glasses include a camera and the skeleton sits on the bridge of your nose. Note that Google is supposed to be testing a number of designs, some of which can be worn over prescription eyeglasses.

EPSON Moverio BT-100 wearable 3D head-mounted display puts Android close to your eyeballs

EPSON Moverio BT-100 Android 3D glasses and controller worn by a man

We have to hand it to EPSON for originality. The company has just announced that it’s shipping the world’s first see-through wearable display (a.k.a. glasses with built-in displays) running Android. The EPSON Moverio BT-100 is a relatively bulky set of glasses (that are however much smaller than other head-mounted displays we’ve seen, like the Sony HMZ-T1) with twin 0.52-inch qHD (960×540) resolution LCD displays, a pair of earphones and a separate hand controller connected to the glasses with a wire.

The hand controller features a touchpad in order to control the on-screen cursor, a directional-pad and a standard set of Android buttons. There is also a 2D/3D mode toggle. The glasses can obviously do 3D and, similar to other 3D goggles, the effect is better than let’s say 3D TVs since each eye is seeing a completely different image, eliminating cross-talk.

Sony HMZ-T1 OLED 3D head mounted display

We recently had a look at Sony’s HMZ-T1, a headset which offers an immersive 3D HD experience equivalent to watching a 750-inch screen from 20 meters away. The technology is based on twin 0.7-inch 720p (1280×720) OLED panels. The 3D headset just got a US release date and price, it will be available in the coming November and has been priced at $800.

Sony HMZ-T1 OLED 3D head mounted display

Sony has been hitting home runs with its new tiny high resolution OLED displays. The company’s latest announcement is a futuristic headset, the HMZ-T1, hosting a pair of 0.7-inch OLED displays. Each display, one for each eye, is capable of a 720p HD resolution (1280 x 720), offering full 3D support for movies and gaming with zero crosstalk — that is, each eye will be seeing a totally different image, unlike current 3D TV technology. Sony is claiming that the experience is similar to being in a movie theater looking at a 750-inch screen from 20 meters away.

OLED panels offer very fast refresh rates, so fast moving action is a non-issue for them, while contrast ratios are also very good because OLEDs can be bright and colorful but at the same time offer deep blacks. Sony has paired the displays with a newly developed optical lens and with 45-degree wide horizontal viewing angles, you can imagine the level of stomach-turning immersion this headset can provide.
