By now you should have heard already of Google Glass, a very ambitious project of Google that the giants of Mountain View decided not to continue working on. Google Glass was sure pretty cool, but the project stalled because the glasses were too expensive, and lacked interesting apps.
Now BMW is surpising us, announcing they are working on a prototype of goggles that would turn the world into a digital display at the Shanghai auto show on Sunday, according to a report from Automotive News. The report said the goggles show the kind of information that's found on a BMW heads-up display, such as the speed limit and vehicle speed.
The glasses can also tell the driver when to turn, tap into camera feeds to help during parallel parking and offer navigation directions. BMW said that rather than just displaying information in the corner of the driver's eye like Google Glass would, it wanted to anchor that information by tracking the driver’s gaze and making the information pop up appropriately based on the location of objects in the real world.
Of course this is only a prototype, but the german giant sure has everything to offer to their clients this incredible idea. We'll see what happens.
