Microsoft on Google lands
2014 - finally - could mark the launch of the Google goggles, Microsoft would also be developing his own interactive glasses.
The American computer group Microsoft working on prototypes of interactive glasses, like those already developed by the Google internet giant. It is in any case, says the Wall Street Journal citing sources close to the case.
A simple prototype?
These sources told the daily that Microsoft had asked several Asian manufacturers to provide cameras and components for this type of apparatus, which could, however, never reach the stage of mass production.
The portable electronics market, clothing or accessories such as watches or glasses, integrated is considered by many experts as an engine of growth possible in the future in the technology sector, after smartphones and tablets.
Microsoft in search of lost time
Next to Google goggles, the South Korean Group Samsung has recently launched a watch, the Galaxy Gear, and recurring rumors reported Apple projects for this type of devices.
Microsoft, which has built its reputation with its software such as Windows or Word, strives to take the corner of the manufacture of the devices themselves. Its Xbox video game console has been a success but its entry last year on market shelves was really crowned of success so far. The Group also comes within this framework to announce the acquisition of the division of consumer devices of the leader stripped of Nokia mobile phones.
