The manufacturer Olympus, who decided to return to the field of augmented reality glasses. The company, which unveiled a prototype of this type of glasses for the first time in mid-2005 announced today the call MEG4.0. From image released by the company, it seems to have an almost microscopic screen, guarantee, comes with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and battery that has autonomy to run for up to 8 hours.
According to the company in MEG4.0 "proprietary optical technologies" were included that cause it to view the environment maximized. Its screen has a flashing mode that can connect for 15 seconds every three minutes and that, according to the company, makes the battery has all this autonomy.
Olympus engineers, however, did point to include a camera in the glasses - but they remembered to put a Bluetooth chip to connect to smartphones and also an accelerometer, which should show items on the screen into position. The complete set weighs only 30 grams including battery and no date has to be made available.
Remember that even though Google has developed a prototype of its first Project Glass, Apple was the company that managed to register a patent for something like this before. And although the patent cites the glasses from Apple would be used more fixed and less focused on mobility, I can see more potential for a lawsuit between the companies. And Olympus can end up in the middle.
