Google's Smart Watch

After Google made a smart eyeglasses project or Project Glass, Google will be expanded to other products, namely watch. Last week (November 29, 2012), Google has the right to patent of smart watch.

This futuristic watch are equipped with a processor, wireless transmitter, camera and flip-up screen that will display the information. Wireless transmitter allows watch that connect to your smartphone notifications display such as e-mails, updates, and others. This watch can also be connected to the Internet network.

From the looks of things, this watch would present notifications and other information transmitted from your smartphone right to your wrist. Let's be honest, a quick look at Kickstarter would let you find tons of watches that do this very thing. Google's potential watch stands out, however, because of the transparent screen that could "see" objects around you.

As reported Techhive, the camera will be used in the flip-up display to show what is "seen" this time. As Google's smart sunglasses, this watch also "alert" will be the location and the neighborhood. The combination of GPS and the camera will display the information augmented-reality on the flip-up screen.

According to the patent, you could then be given directions based on GPS coordinates and the buildings "seen" by the watch, while a Goggles-like implementation would be able to identify smaller items in the display. That would let the search giant throw ads or other data about the product your way, giving you the info you need to snap it up -- and likely not hurting Google's bottom line.

Not yet known whether this watch will be sold bundled with smart glasses or separately as different products. *** [GIZMAG | EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | RIF | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 06122012]
