An American analyst has indicated that Microsoft could have a competitor for Google Glass by mid-2014. Brian White of Topeka Capital stated that the company would have made this decision in order not to be left behind when it comes to smart devices. The future of these seems to be in having the ability to be dressed and to integrate with our body and our experience making them almost physically disappear.
Before the Mountain Viewers decided in such a determined way to bet on such a device, several companies had flown over the idea and even had registered patents with concepts to develop them. In this category is Microsoft that, after dismissing the possibility a couple of years ago, reacts when it sees the expectation that its rival's model is generating. Your model would be based on a web application and provide augmented reality, exactly the same as Google's.
In this group we could also include Sony, who not only thought and plan to tackle this formatInstead, he was one of the pioneers in smart wearable devices with his Smart Watch.
In this race there is also LG at the same time as a smartwatch. Recently, the possibility that the company of the most important search engine in China, Baidu, I also worked on a similar project.
It seems like no company wants to be left behind with this type of device although the resources and structure they need to support them are enormous. Society is still not clear about what it would do with this type of device and whether it really wants it or not. Responses of uncontrolled admiration, misunderstanding and reasoned rejection They follow each other and cast a veil of doubt on this type of device. In contrast, there is the performance of companies that prefer to ensure that they will not lose competitiveness and prepare their response if necessary.
