Google Glass Problems

The Google Glass for many objects of desire, are a new concept in the way users interact with their environment. But, despite its futuristic appearance and price, there are some aspects that give problems to users, and that Google should consider ahead of commercial versions. 

It's time to suggest improvements

Okay, I know, to launch a limited version of the Google Glass developers thinking aims (plus interesting applications that may exist when the glasses on the market) that Google may have the feedback of users to make some improvements in the gadget. Well, that feedback begins to arrive, and the problems and inconveniences that the glasses are giving are the most varied. Let's see them.

Battery

We're used to that many times is a problem in our smartphones . Well imagine a device that, in the ideal case, should be constantly interacting with our environment.Despite having a screen with a much lower consumption than that of a smart phone, do have wireless connectivity, sensor, processor, or other technologies that make their range can vary from 3'5 to 5 hours. A fairly small amount of time to make extensive use of them, especially when developers create new applications that require more resources than the glasses, so Google must think of alternative batteries, or recharge a system of solar energy allow at least increase your airtime. 

Eyestrain and headaches

Despite being designed so you can view your display a few inches from the eye, there are users who have suffered headaches, dizziness, visual fatigue , and other symptoms, which make it quite uncomfortable to use. This will be difficult to solve, since it seems that the display will change very soon.

Poor screen visibility in bright light

Also associated with the screen is the problem that it does not display properly when the environment is very bright . Is due to the projection system itself uses, and again to fix it would be to modify the share of the viewer, isolating most of the ambient light, somewhat complicated if we want digital image overlaps what we are looking beyond the glasses.

Not configurable System

This is one of the most common complaints among users, which is that, although the operating system of Google Glass operates on Android, not Android itself.Specifically, the device does not allow certain configuration actions, such as turning off Bluetooth connection, or change the screen brightness.

Voice control unreliable

The Glass allow Google to answer messages via voice recognition ... in theory. And itoften fails recognition , which writes messages that contain many errors. In addition, this also makes running actions in error, improperly recognizing voice commands, or even worse, that someone else can perform actions in our glasses (like taking a picture) just saying it out loud if you are near our.

Nonfolding structure

We call them glasses but glasses actually have little. So little that can be folded even as traditional glasses (being flexible that can bend itself to prevent splitting, but can not be closed as such), which makes it difficult to keep them comfortably, power colgárnoslas neck, or put them into a small bag. To transport them, keeping what we have to do in the way they are, that is, of eyeglasses with the pin open, since you can not close .

Need Applications "killers"

It is one of the biggest weaknesses of this product is precisely have " killer apps ", apps that actually solve a user need and become more important for precisely used glasses. The existence of these programs is what Google wants to promote, and on it are working and developers, but the very dependence between the success of the glasses and the existence of advanced applications is a weakness of the model, since, if we could do with glasses everything we do with our smartphone, probably its penetration is very low.

Changes in social behavior

Beyond technological aspects, there is a social component associated with these glasses. And, on the one hand, users are still seen as "freaks" in the sense that they are glasses that do not look normal glasses, that attract attention, and are not extended.But also, the people around the user to change their usual behavior , they do not know how to react (do not know if, for example, the user is taking a photo them, which can now be done simply by applying blinking Winky, or if you are recording a video). If people are uncomfortable around people with these glasses, Google will have to think of some indicator that allows others to know if they are being photographed or recorded, among other things.

These are some of the problems that users have reported, and where Google may already be working, though probably continue knowing Google drawbacks of Glass, as its use will spread.

Assad l "The captain does not run in the middle of the storm"

"The accusations against Syria in the use of weapons  chemical  change every day. And this is likely to be used as a prelude to a war against our country , "said Bashar Al Assad  in dialogue with Argentine journalists. "They said they use chemical weapons against residential areas. Now, if they were used on a city or suburb with a balance of ten or twenty victims would it be credible? Its use would mean the deaths of thousands or tens of thousands of people in minutes. Who could hide such a thing? "he added. The whole conversation revolved around the same thing: the cause of the problem is outside and make self-criticism was never considered . Much less the possibility of resigning to decompress the conflict within the framework of peace negotiations. "For someone to say that the Syrian president must leave because the United States, other countries or terrorists what they want is something unacceptable. This issue is solved through a popular choice of the polls in the elections scheduled for 2014, "he said. "The country is in crisis, and when the boat is in the midst of the storm, the captain does not flee. And give would flee, "he added. So great is the international conspiracy to Al Assad, who is convinced that no Western country wants to improve the situation in their country. "There are terrorists in 29 countries fighting in Syria, so do not think that many Western nations that support them actually want a solution," he said. " West lies and falsified evidence to wage wars , that is their custom. now Israel instructed the attack days ago  to boost the morale of terrorist groups, "he continued. However, he gave arguments against his claim, to note that some of the main insurgent groups are radical Islamists, strongly anti-Western. "A Western governments mind having loyal as those that existed in Latin America, who exploited the people to deliver their goods. And if they are extremists, wear now and fight later. Though the disputed Afghanistan : Taliban supported and 11-S paid a very high price, "he said.Nevertheless, he insisted that Dialogue has a position and would accept to attend the international conference that the U.S. and Russia intend to do in Geneva  to find a solution to the conflict, but with the requirement that opponents abandon armed struggle. "We have received good Russian-American rapprochement, but we must be realistic. We always opted for dialogue with any party that wants to do, but this does not include terrorists. A State talks with terrorists, "he said. And to leave no doubt of his real thought, ended relativizing the utility of a negotiation."There is confusion in the world believe that a political conference stop terrorism on the ground and that's unreal , "he said.
