Intel Vaunt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Intel Vaunt (English to vaunt sth. = To boast something) is a smartglass from Intel . Here, the information should by laser on the retina are transmitted to the user ( Augmented Reality ). A camera , LED screen and other peripherals are therefore dispensed with. The Verge therefore also describes it as a " heads-up display in your own peripheral field of vision". The Vaunt should also be able to be used as normal glasses and not be recognized as smart glasses. They should weigh 50 grams and have a battery life of 18 hours, but can still be used as normal glasses without a battery.

functionality

The Vaunt's laser projects an approximately 400 × 150 pixel image onto a holographic reflector and reproduces it directly on the retina. Control the glasses can be a smart phone - app with a Bluetooth connection. Since it is a class-one laser with minimal power, there is no danger to the eyes, according to Intel. An adaptation to the retina is done by measuring the pupillary distance to the glasses. The desired information is displayed at the bottom right in the user's field of vision. If the view is not focused on it, the display disappears again. The Vaunt also has a compass and acceleration sensor to recognize the hand gestures and directions of the user. Application examples are, for example, directions, messages from the smartphone, desired recipes and restaurant reviews. Artificial intelligence is supposed to filter relevant content from unimportant ones.

history

In 2018, the first developer kits will be distributed in an early access version.
