If you want to be a Google Glass developer, you need to pay attention to 11 points

The Apple iPhone boom is like a tsunami. It is the "next big thing" with blood and flesh, accompanied by the roar of market rumors to warn of its coming; Google's "glasses" project (Project Glass) is different, they It is committed to creating a brand-new product category with a "southern design" mode of slow cooking and semi-open cooking.

With Project Glass, Google aims to take advantage of the "DIY" design spirit of the mobile world, and so far they have successfully attracted a lot of developers. According to the author's understanding, the advantages of Google Glass so far are two: one is to provide smartphone-level display quality (that is, not very good), and equipment that can be used as a technology otaku / otaku to show off to their peers.

11 points to be noticed by Google Glass developers

At the Google I / O conference in San Francisco, the United States not long ago, participants were crowded with a panel discussion by four Google glasses developers; dozens of them joined Google ’s “developers” for $ 1,500 Explorer) "program, and the developers who took the lead in obtaining Google glasses, also appeared wearing this device. Google has great ambitions. The company wants to build the next generation of mobile devices, which is to transform the role of technology from "control-led" to a more "service" nature.

Google ’s courage to try to achieve its goals in the community development model is admirable, because it also means that it may fail in front of the public; but Google has achieved "semi-transparent"-so far, No one knows the detailed hardware specifications of Google Glasses (where is the dismantling report?), And Google has also kept quiet about the main functions of the device and the public listing plan, making it a "closed open plan" DIY design in a specific way. "

It is understood that Google will provide Google glasses to another 8,000 lucky people in a short period of time. These people are selected from 10,000 end users participating in the "If I Had Glass" competition; with this model, users and Application developers will all help Google's plan. Just like Microsoft (Microsoft) provides a trial version of Windows, Google will get a free test team and target trial group.

Wearable computing devices have been the topic of discussion for a long time, but so far no one has launched mainstream products or tried so hard. And if Google Glasses fails, the company will at least gain valuable relevant experience, and all the members participating in this program will also have fun in it. From this year's Google I / O conference, the author sorted out 11 key points about Google glasses, the following are listed:

● Google Glasses is not a product like the GoPro sports camera, developers should think of it as a 640x360 pixel display, and the user sees the screen projected at a distance of 7 feet in front, and slightly above position.

● Some users mentioned that Google Glasses ca n’t display the content of the webpage, in fact, because the webpage displayed on it cannot be read; Google Glasses is more inclined to be an information display device, such as a reverse prompt on a black background.

● A developer mentioned that their design experience is around micro interacTIons, hoping to make the technology unique; I guess this is because of the processing power of Google Glasses.

● Although the first developer to try Google Glasses said that the device can reach a full day of standby time, most people still list “longer battery life” as their greatest demand.

● Google Glasses is based on Android 4.0.1 version (Ice Cream Sandwich), supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and is equipped with a micro USB port.

● There will be no Google glasses emulator for Android phones. The only way to get the device and its API is to spend $ 1,500, sign a confidentiality agreement, and become a member of the "Developer" program.

● Google initially provided a hardware update for the device once a month, but now it seems to have been shut down; in the software part, it is maintained to be updated once a month.

● Privacy issues have a great impact on the Google Glass program (please refer to the relevant report of the US Congress).

● Face recognition is not in the current Google Glass product plan. One developer said that although related prototypes have been developed, it is still necessary to determine the advantages of using such features and carefully handle privacy issues.

● Users of Google Glasses will provide clear “public reminders” when shooting images, such as pressing buttons or issuing voice commands, and then the display will be lit in a visible way ── Of course, the user must also look directly at the object being photographed.

● Google is looking for user scenarios in which Google Glasses can bring benefits to people around the user, such as providing useful information, hoping to eliminate the public ’s prejudice that the device will turn them into protagonists on YouTube.

With the continuous maturity of LED lighting technology, the automotive industry has been using LED light sources for instrument panels and interior lighting, and LED lighting is gradually capturing brake lights, fog lights, low beam lights, high beam lights, and daytime running lights. Application fields such as adaptive headlights (AFS) for exterior signal indication and headlight illumination.The challenge for LEDs to be used in exterior lighting is the need for integrated, flexible and networked drives.
