Vuzix’s Smart Glasses M100 look like a large Bluetooth headset, but with Android Ice Cream Sandwich onboard, they can obviously do a whole lot more. The device has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integrated, a 720p HD camera, head movement sensors and is in cahoots with your iOS smartphone or Android handset for a bundle of augmented reality applications. It also has GPS and a compass
The display acts like a 4 inch display when positioned about 14 inches from your eye. It has a WQVGA resolution, over 2,000 nits of brightness and a 16:9 aspect ratio. When making calls or doing speech commands, it uses a noise canceling microphone.
The Smart Glasses can support up to an 8 GB memory card and have 4 GB of Flash memory onboard. The gadget runs on a 1 GHz OMAP4430 processor with 1 GB RAM. As far as battery life is concerned, the M100 gets 8 hours of hands free use and 2 hours of hands-free use while using the display. Obviously battery consumption is a huge problem. If you want to use all the device’s functions simultaneously, it’ll last you about 1 hour before all the juice is sucked out.
Vuzix is making a brave leap forward with this crazy gadget and making the astonishing concept Google wowed us with a reality, albiet an impractical one. It will be fascinating to see where this technology goes in the future. I know I’m eagerly awaiting more info on Google’s Project Glass!
