Meta Glasses | Wearables | CES 2014

    All this wearable technology but the most well known probably has to be Meta's Space Glasses. Now, you've probably heard of Google Glass but Meta's Space Glasses is the one catching a lot of interest and is even being talked about at school. It's funny because it's not even just the nerds and geeks I hang with, it's even non-techy people talking about it. So hearing it a few times, I looked them up https://www.spaceglasses.com/. There site is well programmed too and they also brag about their glasses having 15 times the screen area of Google Glass.


"The MetaPro glasses do some pretty amazing things with augmented reality" - Engadget. Some people even say they make you feel like Iron Man. I think it would be pretty interesting to try them out because this definitely looks cool.  Here is a list of some pretty amazing specs for this computer:
-Intel i5 CPU
-4GB RAM
-128GB SSD
-32Whr battery



    So yea, this thing is pretty amazing and is probably the next popular form of PCs. Very personal computer. It basically has equivalent power to the average hybrid (tablet/laptop) computer. As you can see, the interface is produced on the lenses and the interactivity uses some kind of Kinect like technology to read your gestures and see things. Just think, all this is being made by a start up. See what all it can do on this video.

Wearable Tech | CES 2014

    So CES 2014 has come and gone but there was a theme this year that I thought would eventually come. Wearable's. I'm going to wait and see what the companies have to offer on wearable technology but for now, I prefer a full computer. Laptop, tablet, hybrid or whatever, do provide the performance and non-hassle that most wearable's can't for now.


    Intel has invested heavily into this market because this could be the next major thing worth making processors for. They have high expectations for them and so do I. The team said, 'What do you think?' I said, 'It's great, but you have to lose the batteries and the Bluetooth.' - Mike Bell. So, the only way to make it widespread is to make it not noticeable, not required to charge or anything obtrusive.
So, wearable tech is all the hype right now, but as a student, I'm for the cheap, productive, useful, privacy tech, which includes desktops, laptops, hybrids and more. So what do you all think about wearable tech?
