Based on high-tech military wearables, a California-based company is unveiling consumer-oriented state-of-the-art augmented reality glasses - a competitor to Google Glass. They are expected to be released in 2015 at prices below $1000.
The new Smart Glasses system by Osterhout Design Group (ODG) is similar to the heavy duty glasses it has been supplying the US Department of Defense for more than a year, according to the ODG press-release. ODG said the new gadget will provide head worn computing and augmented reality. The Smart Glasses are based on a ReticleOS operating system that uses Android and can run any Android-based application.
The gadget has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless networking and navigation via the global positioning system (GPS), Russian Glonass, and Magellan satellite networks, Venturebeat reported. The device has storage of 128-gigabytes, magnetic audio jacks, two digital microphones and a 5-megapixel camera.
