Eye of the robot: Google working on Android-powered glasses?

Google may be getting ready to take augmented reality to the next level: According to a report, an Android-powered pair of glasses will go on sale by the end of 2012.

If so, get ready for a new take on the concept of wearable computing. A number of smart gadgets that track your movements and assess your health havemade waves over the last year, but Google Glasses (just my suggested name) would be something unique: a network-connected pair of spectacles with a camera and a display that could record images and video of one’s surroundings and display information from elsewhere on a tiny screen, according to a report in The New York Times.

If it sounds like a potential privacy minefield, that’s because it is. There are obviously all kinds of benign implications for such a device, such as tourism or spectator sports, but it’s already easy enough for people to walk around recording each other with smartphones. The first production of these glasses will probably make it painfully obvious, however, that you’re wearing a computer over your eyes (and supplant the glasses designed for the armed forces as the world’s most effective birth-control device).

The Times cites an earlier report from 9to5Google.com that said the glasses would be operated by head movements and might resemble a pair of Oakleys. It’s likely to feature some of the technology behind the Google Goggles app, and at the price of a modern smartphone (between $250 to $600, according to the report), it might have a pretty limited audience at first.

Kurumsal Dijitalleşme mi yoksa Dijital Kurumsallaşma mı? (+Anket)

Eğer benim gibi siz de işinizin önemli bir bölümünü pazar araştırması yaparak geçiriyorsanız muhtemelen siz de en az benim kadar Türkiye'de pazar verisine ulaşmanın ne kadar zor olduğu hakkında defalarca şikayet etmiş ve sonunda yaratıcı yollar keşfetme yolunu tercih etmişsinizdir. Bunun sebebinin analitik düşünceye ihtiyacımızın olmaması mı, tembellik mi, kısa vadeli düşünmemiz mi yoksa insanüstü tahmin ve öngörü yeteneklerine sahip olmamız mı emin değilim. "Y ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze yanlış bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur. Sözün asıl sahibi W.

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley.

Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you're also going...
