Google Defines the UI of the Future–But Are We Ready? Augmented reality - a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.
If you've ever envied the augmented reality vision featured in films like Terminator and Mission Impossible this might be just your thing.
Imagine seeing all the relevant information you need, not by looking at a device, but looking at the world around you. This is Google's vision of how augmented reality might work in a few years' time. The internet giant officially revealed what it's calling Project Glass, a see-through heads-up display that offers information triggered by the wearer's location or voice. |
