Feature of Japanese glasses

Japanese glasses Privacy Visor – not a gadget. Their design was used the material with special properties. In addition, the lens glasses that protect against the paparazzi, and has a few rough edges.

When the camera lens is trying to focus on the face of the person who wears Japanese glasses Privacy Visor, he sees it only as a background object, therefore, continues to search for Japanese glasses of focus. The researchers note that at the present time, the percentage of people who managed to hide with the help Privacy Visor, is 90%; in the future the result will be improved.

Professor Isao Echizen, one of the founders of Japanese glasses, said:

Our product Privacy Visor – this is the first development in the world using this technology. We are often told not to disclose your personal information to third parties, but our face – is also a kind of identity card. There must be a way to protect it.

Finally, we note that the glasses are unlikely to arrive at a broad market. The fact that not only the paparazzi cameras but cameras and lenses can not focus on the face of the person who wears these glasses. In addition, the price of Privacy Visor (30,000 yen, equal to about 240 US dollars), making them interesting in the first place, for the show-business stars, as pickpockets and petty thieves in supermarket accessory will not afford. Japanese glasses are also several limited review, so they drive a car is undesirable.

Earlier, Japanese researchers have developed the model Japanese glasses against the paparazzi, but this gadget is lighted shot in the face active LEDs, required the presence of a source of energy and weighed much more than ordinary sunglasses.

Samsung has repeatedly patented devices like smart glasses Google Glass, and many sources even reported the imminent release of an accessory, but we still did not be submitted. It seems that the South Korean giant has not abandoned the project and really engaged in its development. Recently discovered a new Samsung glasses, which describes the glasses with two displays of 3D-enabled cameras and augmented reality or holograms. The device does not yet have an official name, but it has some differences from those things which Samsung has worked previously.

What is new Samsung glasses are similar to Microsoft HoloLens?

New Samsung glasses have a sporty design and are connected to a smartphone or other device using a wireless connection, not the cable, as in previous versions. The patent describes spectacles, in which there is on the display for each eye, displays an image of a virtual reality, and elements, sending light in a predetermined position of a wearable display. Sources say that these elements are sending directional light and are rotationally asymmetric reflective surfaces.

As HoloLens on with Microsoft, Samsung’s glasses can display an image, depending on the position of the user’s head. This headset allows you to move freely in space, as it does not cover the external world, and does not interfere with the user, but only imposes the image as augmented reality.

In the picture, you can see the points that management is carried out by a single touch panel on the side, the microphone and speaker. As is the case with Gear VR, it is expected that the user can control the headset via voice commands or gestures on the touch panel. It is also expected that the headset can be controlled with the help of external devices, for example, Bluetooth-controllers.

According to the description, the headset has two cameras for creating stereoscopic photos and videos. This will capture everything around in a more familiar format for the man, which can not do conventional cameras.

It is possible that Samsung is going to release an analog of Microsoft HoloLens, who will receive additional opportunities. However, this is only a patent, so wait for the official presentation of this device in the near future is not worth it.

Laboratory of Advanced Technologies AVG Glasses developed another gadget that allows a person to remain incognito in the case of contact with the field of view cameras. This is normal at first sight glasses that can modify the actual display of the human face. As a result, it is almost impossible to identify the user by means of spyware.

Points against facial recognition AVG Glasses

Having a web cameras in public places makes it possible to avoid the commission of crimes and identify individuals who are wanted, as well as helping in the investigation and recovery of the chronological order of events. But there is also a negative factor: such cameras can be considered an invasion of privacy.

Track all actions must be carried out either with the consent of the object of surveillance or as directed by the court or prosecutor’s office. But street cameras default ignore this rule, thus infringing the rights and freedoms of citizens. If any person wants to take a stroll through the streets incognito, he will have to wear a mask, which in itself attracts attention.

Avoid this situation will allow glasses laboratory AVG. They do not make a man invisible, but distort the display on the spy devices. Recall that the company AVG Labs specializes in the development of anti-virus software, and because of its specialists know how and what to do with no software is able to recognize a person’s face.

Served as the basis for product IR emitters. Usually they are not visible to the human eye, but because their action does not attract attention. At the same time, the work of IR sensors prevents recording video or photos webcams. The radiators are located on the front side of points which gives the ability to create a barrier in the form of scattered infrared radiation.

Anti-spyware AVG Glasses glasses against cameras

Radiators are located at key points that use the program for the identification of person people involved in the field of view cameras. This negates the “no” best spies, law enforcement and paparazzi witness the user visits a particular location.

In addition, there is another technology that will keep the status “incognito”. It is planned to work on security cameras using visible light reflectors on the glasses. In the refractive index of the beam is reflected at the same angle as that coming. Accordingly, when you try to use the flash of paparazzi gets back “Bunny”, which literally dazzle his camera.

At the moment, the company does not specify what kind of technology will be applied to new safety glasses. But it is believed that the products are present both options to increase drastically in the era of “digital mayhem” of private companies and government organizations.
