At CES 2014 today, Epson announced the next generation for their Moverio “smart glasses” product. The BT-200 utilizes a miniature LCD projection lens system on both sides of a pair of glasses to produce a binocular type display. The system is capable of producing see-through overlays of digital content on top of the physical world seen through the lenses. Powered by Android 4.0, this makes the glasses ideal for augmented reality applications.
Epson also equipped the BT-200 glasses with a gyroscope, accelerometer and a magnetic compass. This enables head-motion tracking for the devices that can be utilized in applications like games or for hands-free navigation. The glasses also have a front-facing camera that serves the dual-purpose of recording images and video as well as detecting the surrounding environment.
The BT-200 glasses can stream high-definition video from content source devices. Built-in wireless capabilities allow the device to connect to other peripherals like headsets, external speakers, or keyboards. A microSD card slot is available so users can access content even when off-line.
No pricing or availability information was released by Epson. Check back with TalkAndroid for more news from CES 2014.
