Sony anunta disponibilitatea SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 si SDK-ul sau

Dezvoltatorii de software interesati de realitatea augmentata, pot pre-comanda SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1.

Tehnologia science-fiction pe care o vedeam pana nu demult doar in filme, incepe sa se integreze incet, incet, in activitatile noasre zilnice, multumita unor producatori precum japonezii de la Sony.

Incepand de astazi, dezvoltatorii de software pot pre-comanda in tari precum Marea Britanie sau Germania, gadgetul Sony SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1, un dispozitiv AR (augmented reality), ce poate afisa in timp real informatii pe lentila transparenta.

Tot de astazi, pe langa modelul SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1, dezvoltatorii de aplicatii au la dispozitie si SDK-ul SmartEyeGlass, pe care il pot descarca de aici.

SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 include o tehnologie holografica unica, care permite transpunerea imaginilor augmentate pe lentila la o luminozitate excelenta si o transparenta foarte inalta (85%), fara necesitatea oglinzilor  care ar putea obstructiona vizibilitatea utilizatorului in lumea reala. In plus, display-ul monochrome asigura un consum redus de energie si o luminanta de pana la 1000 cd/m2, ceea ce permite afisarea informatiilor in clar pe lentila indiferent de mediul in care ne aflam (zi, noapte, indoor/outdoor, club, etc).
