New Application for Google Augmented Reality Glasses Considered

The other day, I was discussing with an acquaintance who was recruiting himself into our think tank about the future of virtual reality, actually augmented reality and blurring of the real world with the virtual online world of social media, social networks, and the global information flow in real time. We talked about Google's R&D Department and their latest augmented reality glasses which were featured not long ago in all the Nerdy Tech blogs and personal technology magazines.

We were discussing all the potential applications, which are non-ending and after brainstorming for what seemed like 5-minutes we came up with about 50 real world applications that are needed and viable right now today. Some already exist such as police tech devices for patrol officers. Anyway, just yesterday I was talking with the Founder of a new system of gambling, no it's not your old typical card counting plan, or some mathematical MIT impossible for most folks to do routine, rather his system was one developed by him for those playing cards in casinos.

In fact, he wrote an interesting eBook on the topic titled; "The Samonte System, Finally, a gambling system that works." Anyway Alan was telling me that his system did not require a genius level IQ or some secret augmented reality computer system. Indeed, originally I asked him if he was referring to a strategic methodology in gambling using mathematics, algorithms, proximities, card counts, and a computerized decision matrix system, and if so, I told him, then I understand the value of it all. Turns out it doesn't require any of that really.

Now then, let's say you don't want to buy his eBook on Amazon's Kindle for $.99 I believe he said it was, let's say you'd rather invest in an augmented reality system you could wear as regular looking glasses and have all that information plugged into your iPad which you wore on your hip. Well, then the system could use an artificial intelligent software system with algorithms to advise you which cards to play and your odds as you go.

You'd look at the card with your glasses as you played and each card played, as you went along, while the augmented reality system would keep track of it all for you. Then you'd have to use your skills as a poker player from there, reading faces, and watching for clues. A system that could do all that might cost you $5,500 and most of that would hardware, which although a little more costly than the $.99 Kindle eBook, but it would be some cool personal tech to own now wouldn't it?

I'd say, if you are interested, then shoot me an email and we can talk, and then challenge that Alan Samonte System to a duel of high-stakes Texas Hold'em. I figure with about $30,000 in software and mathematical development, plus the hardware mentioned above, we would stand a chance of beating Alan at his own game. Please consider all this and think on it.

Are Samsung 3D Glasses SSG-2200AR As Good As Blick Compatible 3D Glasses?

If you're looking for Samsung SSG-2200AR 3D glasses and also wanted to see if a compatible 3D pair permeates the internet, then this article will reveal the new Blick 3d Glasses and let you understand the difference between the Samsung 3D glasses.

Both the Samsung and Blick use active shutter technology.

Not sure what active shutter means?

Active shutter means the lens on the 3D glasses closes and opens at a very rapid rate. Most viewers can't tell the lens is opening and closing it happens so fast. Most Samsung and Blick 3D glasses use active shutter technology and this also means the glasses are powered by a battery.

One key feature which separates these two 3D glasses are the lens size. The Samsung SSG-2200AR 3D lens is only 20.37 centimeters squared, which the Blick 3D glasses have a larger size at 21.93 centimeters squared.

Obviously a larger lens area equates to a bigger view without the threat of the frames interfering with your picture.

The Blick 3D glasses have something called Active Sync Smart Technology. Which means they don't require any programming. You just turn them on and they sync automatically with the television emitter. While the Samsung 3D glasses do require some minor programming.

Both glasses need to be powered and come with rechargeable batteries, the power is required for the active shutter technology. The average run time is around 30 hours per charge, though the Blick seems to last around ten hours longer.

And the biggest benefit which really separates these two 3D glasses are their fit with prescription glasses. The Samsung SSG-2200AR fit over prescription glasses as do the Blick 3D glasses. Only Blick was designed by a famous eye wear maker and they designed their 3D glasses to blend with prescription glasses and fit better.

As you can see both are slightly different and will work with Samsung DLP televisions. What we've discovered is the flexibility of the Blick 3D glasses.

Let's say your friends call you over and asks if you want to come over and watch a 3D game at his house on his new Sony. Your Samsung 3D glasses won't work and you will either have to borrow a pair or hope he has an extra pair. While the Blick 3D glasses actually work with most 3D televisions and automatically sync with them.

So in conclusion, if you want more flexibility in your 3D glasses and a more comfortable fit with prescription glasses, then Blick might be the right choice for you.

If you don't have to worry about prescription lenses and don't mind a smaller lens than the Samsung 3D SSG-2200AR can be another option.

Why not take a look and compare them side by side. Go and read Samsung SSG-2200AR Review and see how they compare with compatible 3D glasses.
