An accessory for Google Glass allowed having thermal vision

The Google Glass, for those unfamiliar, is smart glasses that have a small screen in front of them. Thus, allowing the user to overlay digital information on what they are seeing in real life as, for example, a map while we’re not sure how many of the users who purchase this terminal may need some time thermal vision, Round Concept has created an accessory for this team for adding this feature.

 Al gadget has been called “Third Eye” and is a device placed next to the Google Glass to provide thermal vision to the owner. An average user will not be able to take advantage of this device. However, it could be very useful, for example, to locate fevers at airports. Its creator, Ivan Arbouzov, said that with this terminal could fight against Ebola as airport staff could identify passengers with high temperatures “at a glance”.

 Furthermore, this system can also be used as an accessory to any device that can process images. The Round Concept will present at CES 2015, but the official launch date is still unknown.

 These smart glasses looks accounted everyone at first because they represented a new way to interact with technology. However, as time has gone by, they have had to overcome problems arising by law, on issues related to privacy, and in terms of hardware, since it appears that do not quite fit into the market.

 First of all, the social stigma attached to walk down the street with a team that people are not used to seeing. Moreover, they had to clarify whether your objective would be professional or private sector. A few weeks ago we discovered the answer to the second question, and it seems that the second generation of the Google Glass will be designed to help workers.

 Apparently, Google Glass will serve to optimize the work in medical centers, hospitals and factories production lines. These destinations are enough of what the company raised away initially, but can be a good way to expand them on the market. The Mountain View Company believes that the glasses will be useful for those employees who need to work with your hands while reading information on the screen thereof.

 Another obstacle that will have to overcome is the price wearable device, since not everyone can spend $ 1,500 (1,200 euros) on a smart garment. Similarly, it is already beginning to develop the second generation of Google Glass; we assume that the Mountain View Company has taken note of all these drawbacks for the next version of its smart glasses.
