I used Google Glass: the future, but with monthly updates

I used Google Glass: the future, but with monthly updates
The frosted-glass doors on the 11th floor of Google’s NYC headquarters part and a woman steps forward to greet me. This is an otherwise normal specimen of humanity. Normal height, slender build; her eyes are bright, inquisitive. She leans in to shake my hand and at that moment I become acutely aware of the device she’s wearing in the place you would expect eyeglasses: a thin strip of aluminum and plastic with a strange, prismatic lens just below her brow. What was a total oddity a year ago, and little more than an experiment just 18 months ago is now starting to look like a real product. But as I release from that handshake and study the bizarre device resting on my greeter’s brow, my mind begins to fixate on a single question: who would want to wear this thing in public? Sticky TOC engaged! Finding Glass Finding Glass I was about to beta test Glass myself. "Why are we even working on Glass? Steve goes on. I get it. Maybe, but obviously the Glass team doesn’t want to wait to find out. Related:  Products

LapTouch: a conceptual laptop for creative minds The LapTouch concept is targeted at the creative community (Image: Amir Labidi) Image Gallery (8 images) Einstein famously maintained that a cluttered desk is a sign of a brilliant mind. View all As a daily user of a graphics tablet and computer, Labidi says the concept was derived from the difficulty he found positioning a tablet and PC together to be able to press keys while using the pen. Though hybrid touchpad laptop models are already available, Labidi’s concept for the LapTouch is aimed at a specific market. Labidi hopes that if the new Panasonic tablet or Wacom Cintiq prove to be beyond your price range, then his idea may meet tactile drawing requirements in a cost-effective manner should the concept be realized. With its good looks and bundled features, the LapTouch concept has been shared on social networks and is currently undergoing a patent application. For the time being at least, the creative world will have to stick to a cluttered desk and its suggestion of a brilliant mind.

About the Author Monkey Light Pro turns bicycle wheels into colorful, animated displays There are plenty of interesting ways to deck out your bicycle, but MonkeyLectric may have come up with the ultimate way to make it stand out on the road. The company's new Monkey Light Pro is a set of LED bars that attach to a bicycle wheel and can be programmed to play colorful animations. This isn't the first light-up bicycle wheel system we've seen, and MonkeyLectric itself has produced other models in the past, but none have been as elaborate as this. Over the last two years, the company has been hand-making prototypes of the newer system for special events and projects. The Monkey Light Pro features four bars sporting a total of 256 full-color LEDs, which fit together inside the spokes and display bright images over the entire wheel when it's in motion. It's designed to fit any 26 in (66 cm) or larger bicycle wheel, and includes a stainless steel anti-theft strap to keep it secure. MonkeyLectric is currently running a Kickstarter to finalize the design and bring it to production.

La saisie vocale arrive sur Google Documents Vous pouvez utiliser dès maintenant une nouvelle fonctionnalité extrêmement intéressante sur la version Web de Google Documents. Il s’agit de la saisie vocale. D’ailleurs, ce billet a été entièrement “écrit” en utilisant le système de saisie vocale de Google. Et je dois dire que c’est assez bluffant. Contrairement à Siri ou encore le système de reconnaissance vocale d’Android, la saisie vocale de Google Documents est très performante sur de longs textes ou de longues phrases. Ce qui complique les choses lorsque vous utilisez cette fonctionnalité c’est vous-même. C’est évidemment une question d’habitude. L’utilisation de la saisie vocale est simple. N’oubliez pas que vous pouvez aussi dicter la ponctuation. Notez que la fonctionnalité Saisie Vocale fonctionne uniquement sur Chrome. Benoit Descary
