Are these heads up display products yet another Google Glass clone?

/in /by

These products look at first sight like yet another clone of Google Glasses. In fact they are much more.

They are not used to surf the web while walking or to provide an augmented reality experience. Their main users are the….vision impaired. This company had the great idea to use the Google glass technology to help the people who could not read due to a lack of vision. The Glasses read out loud for them! The camera records the text read, it is transmitted to a could based reading algorithm through wireless connectivity. The interpreted text is read out loud for the vision impaired to listen.

The BayLibre team loves this usage of heads up display product. A CES 2014 marvel.

Did you know that BayLibre had the honor to appear in the newspaper?

A couple of months ago, we had the honor to get this great article in the newspaper and are happy to share it with you.

It is a nice and crisp description of the company, what we do and why. It is rare enough to have a journalist be so sharp that we’d like to dedicate this post to Florence.

And CES 2014 also showed new electrical vehicles

This vehicle is designed by a Californian startup. This is actually a prototype. It is fully electrical and should be available to buy by the end of the year. It has two wheels, can contain a single passenger and has an automated balancing system. In a curve, the vehicle will not inclined beyond 30 degrees without being balanced out by the system.

This one person car from Toyota is electrical. It is designed to bind the driver with the vehicle.

The vehicle is coated in light displays which allow the user to fully customize the appearance of the vehicle.

You can get in through an opening roof. This is almost sci-fi.

Cool devices live from the CES

/in /by

You may have heard that announcements at CES 2014 this year were all about connected devices, from tiny “Internet of Things” devices up to cars and homes, through wearable devices (smart watch, glass, clothes). Well, we wanted to check this out all by ourselves, so we sent our famous reporter, Guillene, onsite to reveal the truth to you. Guess what? It was true! Guillene reported announcements from Google (Open Automative Alliance), Audi (OOA, Audi Smart Display), Toyota (FV2), Mercedes-Benz (Intelligent Connected Car, Predictive User Experience), MyKronoz, AiQ Smart Clothes, iSmartAlarm, and many many more! See more live pictures below, and stay tuned!

Oh, one more thing: if you ever were at CES, please take the opportunity to have a chat with Guillene!
