Google Glass already has a competitor. Curiously, the one that has embarked on the development of the product that will compete with the new project of the Internet giant is also a search engine and, of course, it is Chinese. This signature responds to the name of Baidu and his augmented reality glasses already have a denomination the Baidu Eye.
After the Chinese technology media had been buzzing about this device for days, Kaiser Kuo, the current director of Baidu, has acknowledged the reality of his project to clarify the rumors and doubts about the «Google Glass Chinese«. The Asian company is already embarking on the development of its project Baidu Eye in which a portable augmented reality device is being carried out that for the moment already boasts of image search and voice recognition (at least in Mandarin Chinese).
According to the Baidu director, they want to develop something more functional than American glasses, insisting that their only point of convergence would be that of the ocular interface, although from his words it seems that the project of the Baidu Eye, although it is already underway, it is still a bit in the air, since it also confirms that they are at the point of evaluation tests to sketch out where your product is headed, so they can't even give us an approximate launch date.
They were able to confirm that the device will wear a LCD technology screen (with which you can take photos, capture videos, and play all kinds of multimedia files) and that will also very surely work with Qualcomm chipsets since they want to extend the battery life of their Baidu Eye up to 12 hours.
All the Google Glass They were already taking time to find a competitor, and I'm sure it's only the first of many.
