We already have new smart glasses on the market. And now Toshiba comes with a small screen in the corner and a camera for remote assistance and other business applications.
Toshiba presents $ 1,900 smart glasses
The device has a price of 1,900 dollars. And that comes with a computer to feed it. So it is not possible to go down the street with them without having to carry the laptop with Windows in their hands.
The glasses also have navigation buttons. And the system is ready to offer video conferencing and video capture with the integrated camera. Its objective is to attract attention in situations where time can be saved by showing the user a set of instructions with hands-free on the small opaque screen.
It also has an optional fingerprint sensor. So it can meet the security requirements by the companies.
From uploadVR, it indicates that it is a more expensive device than Google Glass. That comes with a less immersive screen and much more extensive display. So, it seems that its usefulness is very limited, at the moment, to specific industrial uses.
The computer, as you can see in the lower capture, has some impressive specifications. Also, t comes with a portable mini PC. That can also be used as a desktop computer, although that is not its purpose.
The use of Virtual and Augmented Reality for the industry is not new, in the MWC we saw, without going any further, an example of Telefónica in this sector that we recorded in the video for our YouTube channel.
