Google Glass is not only a fashionable 3C product, but also reveals people's possible life in the future.

Google Glass Although Google Glass was released about two years ago, as far as 3C products are concerned, products two years ago may be eliminated. However, Google Glass is powerful, even compared with several 3C products released recently, it is still out of the water, not inferior at all. ?

It's not hard to imagine why. At present, several new 3C products on the desktop are far less innovative in application than Google Glass. If it weren't for the limited sale of Google glasses and the price of 40 thousand to 50 thousand, such products would still not be popular, and everyone would have taken one. Google Glass began to sell the experience version to developers more than a year ago, and in recent months it began to sell it to ordinary users in limited quantities. Today, if we can overcome the problem of price budget, most of us finally have a way to start from the beginning. As for whether it is fun or trendy, you will know after reading this article. Product appearance

The design is quite simple, there is no lens. Obviously, the mechanism design focuses on the right half, and the other side is much simpler, which is purely an auxiliary function.

In addition, because there is no lens design, the nose frame is obviously much more.

Of course, if it is obvious, the diamond mirror in front of the glasses is the key. Is to look at the image in the diamond mirror with our right eye.

In particular, the top of the diamond mirror is impermeable and can be reflected back like a mirror.

Accessories are very simple, just plugs and carrying bags.

Of course, if you have nearsighted friends, don't forget glasses as accessories.

Coming down from the prism, we can see that there is a button above the frame, which is a photo button. You can take photos or video. There is a round button below the border, which is the power button.

As for the area with the word glass written on the back, it is the bone conduction module.

If you look farther, you can get a general idea of the relative position of the power key and the bone conduction module.

Seen from the outside of the same side, the camera lens can be seen at the front end, and the touch area is at the back end.

It's very light to wear and won't feel any burden. However, it should be mentioned that after a period of use, the power switch of the product is full of heat, but it will not affect the use.

Setup and use before starting

I think this product without instructions is easy for me to use. Unexpectedly, however, after some tossing. There are two main reasons: first, when I got it, someone had already played it, and I couldn't find the "reset" option without fully understanding the use logic, which led to the inability to use the glasses further. The other is the glasses software that I should install. Somehow, I just can't download MyGlass software from GooglePlay to my mobile phone (I don't know if it's because I'm in Taiwan Province Province). Later, I found MyGlass's APK on other websites to solve it. But after I used Reset and installed MyGlass on my mobile phone, it was very simple. Because when the setting is completed, it will demonstrate how to use glasses, some touch gestures, head-up movements and voice, and you can use the product well after understanding it.

Because Google Glass only relies on voice control and simple operation, there are many things that need to be set on the special webpage of Google Glass. On the other hand, it is very convenient to set glasses with the webpage on the computer. Including equipment, wireless, settings, contacts and other major functions, can be handled on the web page first.

It is very important to be able to connect with a mobile phone. The connection between glasses and mobile phone can be via Bluetooth or WiFi. If there is no way to connect with the mobile phone, you can use glasses, such as taking photos or videos, and the data will be stored in the glasses (glasses have 12GB storage space), but some online services linked to the mobile phone, such as searching, navigation or instructions, such as forwarding and sharing to a contact, cannot be used. ?

Although you will be taught how to use Google Glass at first, you will be instructed to look up 30 degrees as shown in the above picture. But when I first started, I was not used to some operational details. For example, you will feel that there is one step missing. For example, there may be a reconfirmation step under the mobile phone, but the glasses will directly execute the command as soon as they are operated; In addition, when taking pictures, the general habit is to confirm the field of vision on the screen before taking pictures. But as soon as you say take a picture, he takes it directly (if you want to confirm the shooting field of view before pressing the shutter like a mobile phone or camera, you need to say another command "show viewfinder"). So at the beginning of the research stage, I will be a little flustered, and I will often accidentally send photos or messages to others, like I sent them to at least three or four people by mistake. ...

If you use Google services, many things will be convenient, such as automatically backing up photos and videos to Google+

By the way, you should have a chance to stick to it all morning, but you won't have to stick to it all day.

Several Important Indexing Functions of Google Glass

When you first use Google Glass, there are always seven options. You can take photos, video, search, navigate and so on. In short, due to the power of Google itself, Google Glass is also quite practical.

Taking pictures should be the most concerned thing. If you want to talk about the picture quality, it is still insufficient compared with the current high-end mobile phones, but it is enough to record what you see with your eyes. Here are some photos taken:

Click here to see the original dragon file next to the landowner.

Click here to see the original clock at home.

Please click here for the original document with a little night view but not too night view.

Click here for other people's bye-bye source files.

Of course, there are photos and videos. You can refer to the following ten-second movies:

Actually, it doesn't feel too bad, XDDD.

As for navigation ..., I haven't tried it because I haven't driven it, but it should be useless to try it. After all, it is necessary to speak in English ... There are too many place names in English, but the interface is quite good. I look forward to the day when I support the people of China.

I tried to use Taipei 10 1, but I didn't expect it to work.

Google glass will start to move (but first of all, because I can't speak Chinese, the navigation is just trying the interface, not really trying it, and the GPS in the upper right corner has not been found).

Then the navigation interface appeared.

Of course, if you are not used to the navigation interface, there is another mode to switch, just shout "Show route overview".

A road map will appear.

Next, Google search is also a must, which reads "Eating in Taipei" ...

As a result, the information of CNN travel XDDDD appeared.

About the glasses software on my mobile phone

Remember when I need to download my glasses software to open Google Glass? If this software is necessary, you can use it without it, but it will be very convenient if you use it.

Although this software has few functions, almost all functions are necessary, such as "screen projection", which can project the pictures seen on glasses to the mobile phone. This function is very useful when the glasses are inconvenient to operate, or when you need to show them to your friends around you. In this paper, the pictures seen from glasses are all pulled to the mobile phone with this function, and then obtained with the screenshot function of the mobile phone. Otherwise ... it's really hard to shoot the pictures in the glasses for everyone to see. Other functions such as adding and editing contacts, settings (which can be reset, unlocked, language selection, etc.) are also available.

It will also record what you have done with your glasses recently.

After selecting the movable glassware, you can see which programs are installed in the glasses now. There are not many people like me at present, only six.

Extra use of other installed programs.

There are two ways to use programs that are not on Google Glass. One is to use Glass's special web page opening application on the computer. Compared with Android phones, there are fewer programs, but I think the most important thing is that Google Glass has not really started to sell on a large scale, so there are fewer users. If Google Glass becomes popular, the above program will explode.

Another way to increase the use of programs is to use the "movable glassware" option in MyGlass on your mobile phone.

The programs that can be started now will be listed.

How to start the program? There will be an on/off switch in the upper right corner of each program description. Just turn it on.

During the trial, three programs were started, including Compass, Gmail and Constellation.

The function of Gmail is very simple. You can only see the latest letter, and then you can see the title, time, name, email address, text and the time of sending. The letter just received this time has no text. If there are too many words, there will be a layer of "read more" to read the contents of the letter more completely. You can write back.

As for the compass ...

It is really convenient. When you move, the information on your glasses will follow at any time, and you will know which side you are looking at directly.

The main reason for downloading constellations is that I didn't recognize them well when I was a child, and I had no idea about the constellations in the sky.

Once you start, a constellation will appear in front of your eyes (but I have to admit, I still can't understand the stars in the sky with this)

You can also switch the night mode. That's sweet.

Google Glass has a bright future, which opens up a further imagination space for digital life.

The so-called future is not the future of product modeling or function, but it is still in line with the trend, but maybe the future life is likely to be in a similar direction. I feel deeply after using this product. It is true that wearable devices are very popular now, but can many devices such as bracelets and watches really continue to be popular like smart phones? At present, all major manufacturers are trying this. Google Glass not only has more functions, but many people are actually nearsighted and used to wearing something on their heads (unlike watches or bracelets, many people really don't have the habit of wearing them). Most importantly, Google Glass is not only a powerful function, but can be combined with all aspects of life. It is very close to what smartphones can do and what Google Glass can do (of course, some things are not so mature and need a little time).

And the advantage over smart phones is that you don't have to pick up the phone with your hands, and your hands can be liberated. This reminds me that it is very important for human beings to stand up and free their hands in the process of evolution. It is impossible for Google Glass to replace mobile phones at present, but after connecting with mobile phones, there are many places in life that will be more convenient than using mobile phones. For example, when you encounter an emergency on the road and need to take pictures immediately, it is obviously faster for Google Glass to directly call the password than to take out the mobile phone. I believe many people also use mobile navigation, but it is inconvenient to take it out and put it back. It's much more convenient to just shout a few instructions to navigate. We can imagine that if you encounter any temporary problems and directly call the information you want to search to Google, you can respond immediately in front of you, instead of lowering your head and taking out your mobile phone from your pocket to check it slowly. How convenient it is. The difference between Google Glass and other wearable devices is that it can perfectly combine the real life needs around you with the digital information on the Internet. Of course, it will take some time to verify, but glasses are likely to become our right-hand man in scientific and technological life in the future.

If there is any problem before, we will Google; It's on the computer; Now, you can use Google on your mobile phone; Outdoor anytime, anywhere; And what about the future? You can get the answer directly in front of your eyes without moving your mouth.
