Juston Payne, group product manager in Google’s augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) division, wrote in the blog post, “Real-world testing will allow us to better understand how these devices can help people in their daily lives.” says.
Google Maps will create a route based on the car you drive
Payne continues, “It will help us take factors like weather and busy intersections into account when developing experiences like augmented reality navigation, which are very difficult to do indoors.”
Not everyone can test
It is a pity that the test is not publicly available. It is said that only Google employees and trusted testers can test Google’s new glasses. As far as we know, prototype models are equipped with cameras, microphones and in-lens displays. Google will evaluate audio and visual detection for functions such as translation, recording and navigation.
Can’t take photos and videos
It is also among the rumors that the features will be limited. Google will use image data to translate text and show directions, but the glasses won’t take photos and videos. The data will not be used for debugging and analysis, it will be deleted after experience. Google will not show faces, it will remove sensitive information such as license plates. The company will delete the image data used for research purposes after 1 month.
Google Glass has not been as successful as the company had hoped; As an end user, we did not have a chance to experience it. The company is looking to fix that with next-gen AR glasses, which is why it’s slow going. It is not clear when AR glasses will be introduced.
