Arrived at Toshiba's booth. Toshiba's diverse latest products and technologies are gathered at a big booth.


I found an area of ​​Toshiba glass. "Since the projection mechanism does not disturb the vision" "Because it is compact and lightweight it does not have stress even if worn for a long time", "detachable, easy to carry because it is foldable" "pursue appearance and fitting feeling as" glasses " It is a wearable device that has been developed mainly by imagining the use for enterprises.


A colorful frame is sliding.


As I looked closer, there is not much feeling that the body attached to the right vine is "floating".


Viewed from the side. The weight of the main body is 42 g and it is considerably light weight. When I asked the Toshiba staff about the difference with "Google Glass", I heard that it is superior to "natural appearance" and "light feeling".


It also supports goggles and sports glasses and is conscious of a wide range of uses.


Where a woman is calling.



Also, a Toshiba glass experi - ence booth was set up and a queue was made. You can wear it directly and experience Toshiba Glass if you put it inside.


That's why I entered the experience booth. Toshiba glasses that are wired connected are prepared. Even if you wear it, there is no such thing as "heavy on the right side and bothering me". Stress is not likely to be much for wearing feeling only with glasses, but "glasses with cable" gets entangled with belongings every time it moves, so you can feel inconvenience.


In the display in front of you, scenes and other scenes that are bicycling are projected. When Toshiba glass was wrapped around the display, the running speed of the bicycle etc. was projected on the right eye side without interruption of visibility and it was able to be confirmed.


There was no button etc in the main body, it was a device that various information was projected on the display of the right eye. Since it is not a device containing an OS like Google Glass, it can not be operated as a single unit, it is a small projector which projects information of the device of the wire connection destination to the last, it measures the running speed alone, It is not possible to check the outside temperature. It can be used for a long time because it can supply power by connecting wired to a PC or smartphone. In the future it is possible that additional functions will be added, such as attaching a sensor.


In addition, when I talked to Toshiba's staff, the release as a product is planned around 2015, but at the moment there is no schedule to sell individually at household electronics mass retailers and so on, for the first time for enterprises It is planned to be. Since the exhibits are in the development stage and the operation in the wireless mode is technically possible, it is unknown what kinds of devices will be finished.
