Google Glass: le pour et, surtout, le contre...


Une reporter du Washington Post fait le bilan de son essai de Google Glass. Elle n'achèterait assurément pas tout de suite. Au-delà de l'inconfort provoqué par le fait d'attirer l'attention, elle relève un certain nombre de problèmes.

 "On the hardware side, the problems ranged from the device becoming too warm -- sometimes after just 10 minutes of use -- to needing to be charged multiple times a day. The sensors on the device were far from perfect, and there were many times when I had to re-tap, re-swipe or (and maybe this was the worst part) jerk my head up repeatedly to wake up the device when it went dormant. I probably reset the device at least half a dozen times in the course of normal use because it wouldn't respond to my frantic taps, or refused to connect to my smartphone even when there were no other network problems.

Glass works better with Google's Android phones (in my case, an HTC One M8 on loan from HTC) than with the iPhone, if only because the integration between the Google systems is much smoother. As for software, developers have been smart about designing Glass apps to minimize the amount of data bombarding users. Big names such as Facebook, Twitter and CNN provide a strong app core for Glass. The CNN app, for example, will let you see headlines for top stories, or by subject, and serves headlines, photos and short video."
