New York Times tech reviewer David Pogue has tried on a pair of Google's computerized headset/glasses, called Google Glass, and he's going bananas over them.
The reason: unlike the iPhone 5, the iPad 3, or Samsung's latest tablet or phone called "Galaxy," Google Glass is actually a NEW kind of gadget.
Google Glass sits on your face like the band of a pair of glasses, and you can, if you look up in a certain way, see a tiny computer screen.
"New gadgets ? I mean whole new gadget categories ? don?t come along very often," he writes.
Here are some of Pogue's excited observations:
- Glass feels weightless. "You can?t believe how little they weigh?Glass is an absolutely astonishing feat of miniaturization and integration."
- The Glass screen disappears when you don't want it, and seems as big as a laptop when you do. "The biggest triumph ? and to me, the biggest surprise ? is that the tiny screen is completely invisible when you?re talking or driving or reading.?You just forget about it completely."
- You can interact with software in new ways. Pogue loaded a big photo into the Google Glass screen, and depending on where he turned his head, he could see it in different ways.
- Google is working to make Glass perfect. "The speed and power, the tiny size and weight, the clarity and effectiveness of the audio and video, are beyond anything I could have imagined.?The company is expending a lot of effort on design ? hardware and software ? which is absolutely the right approach for something as personal as a wearable gadget. And even in this early prototype, you already sense that Google is sweating over the clarity and simplicity of the experience ? also a smart approach."
There's a lot more nuance to what Pogue has to say about Glass, and you can read it here >>
