But the glasses … … Very tasteless indeed. Here to show wear, in transparent glasses frame, into your eyes from below middle of transparent glasses, which were secured by transparent glasses you wear glasses and be worn on the head. When problems arise, due to the transparent space between the frames and BT-200 is very limited, and shape is fixed. If you are using a gold-rimmed glasses might be in, but now young people are more fashionable black box, wooden box, that big, thick glasses couldn’t go in. But even if you do with gold wire glasses, you will not be interested to use the transparent glasses, because this way you head to wear three layers of glasses (pictured) … … Brought up after the clumsy not feeling well, and additional pressure on the nose, not as good as when you want to use with your hands comfortably. This type of smart glass for those who wear glasses do not have a good experience for either BT-200, or glass is so.

Specific feeling of looking in on a pair of transparent glass glasses with translucent projection content, shows the Android desktop is BT-200 interface, Yes, it’s simply a native Android. Viewing angles were required, high or low will seriously affect the sight viewing, still do not know if it is the projection on the right kind of problem, see Watch the lower right corner of the place could be a little paste, but shots are no problem. Projection brightness is adjustable, in an environment of relatively strong light can increase the brightness to enhance the display. But always, there is a certain degree of transparency, all at the same time watch the projection, the projection content will overlap with the background. Watch it better look a solid color, a dark background, you can understand why put on dark sunglasses will have a better view of it. Additionally these glasses equipped with electronic compass and gyro sensors of these common, if the application to be well developed, this pair of glasses will be able to use more features.

Summary

Epson’s BT-200 smart glasses are provided a particular method for virtual reality, practicality but for now is still very general, currently the best experience just watching videos in the dark experience is the best. And it’s not like Google glasses change the interaction design of the whole system, but directly using the native Android system with the touch controller to operate, although this can reduce learning costs, but this makes it more convenient to operate, wearable device should need a more convenient and efficient operation of the program to improve the user experience. Even earlier is not a feature-rich, but at least in the UI, interaction has a better solution, then, is really popular for users. But now the wearable device is still in development, Epson’s glasses can only be described as a litmus test of its development path, the interactive system if there is a better, more caring, and smart features, believe that wearable devices of tomorrow will be better.
