The company Recon Instruments is about to launch its own smart glasses. A quality product that will compete directly with Google Glass.
Google Glass will have a serious competition problem. Recon Instruments Canadian society known for its technological products related to sport wants to develop its activity on the head display technology (HUD). A prototype launched by the company was officially unveiled this week. And that is the basis of this product, called Jet Recon HUD that Intruments expected to launch its next installment. Recall that we have already talked about a product from the same company about two years ago. A product that was already working at the time on Android.
At first sight, the jet-like sunglasses with an LCD screen on the side. If you look more closely, these new glasses seem promising. They have a dual-core CPU, a HD camera, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, ANT + and a variety of sensors such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, an altimeter, a magnetometer or a thermometer. Recon Instruments goggles trying to account for all conceivable scenarios augmented reality, as you can see in the video below.

It is still early to say if these glasses will be a success, but the company has bet on the potential for developers to get the product up. These smart glasses run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and should be available this summer, according to a company representative present at the Google I / O. We do not have information about the price, but we know that Recon Instruments products already on the market, range between 300 and 400 $.
The next update for the Google Glass?
A blow to the Google Glass so that the release date is not yet revealed (some say they do not arrive until spring 2014). In addition, the glasses designed by the American giant seem to know a few problems with the image stabilization. It is for this reason that Sergey Brin, the project manager of Google Glass and Google co-founder has been addressed in the lobby of Google I / O by people who have asked for additional information regarding the future of Google Glass. Brin has said anything concrete about adding a feature image stabilization on Google Glass. It would have mentioned "stay tuned, because we might have a software that can fix this problem." In any case, if the update does not happen soon, Google has trouble to do.
