구글 글래스 네비게이션 활용

구글 글래스의 활용도가 정말 많아질 것 같습니다. 벤츠에서도 구글 글래스를 활용한 네비게이션을 준비하고 있다고 합니다. 어떤 목적지 까지 차를 타고 가다가 중간에 내린다면 차에서 진행중이던 네비게이션 정보가 그대로 구글 글래스로 옮겨가는 기술이라고 합니다. 안경처럼 쓰고 있는 구글 글래스의 장점이 잘 드러나는 사례라고 생각됩니다. 하지만 우리가 스마트폰을 쓰는 시간이 점점 늘어나는 추세인데 구글글래스처럼 주머니에서 꺼낼 필요도 없이 항상 눈앞에 스크린이 있다면 우리 생활에 어떤 변화를 가져올 지 궁금해집니다.

Mercedes-Benz Tests Google Glass Integration

 

In-car navigation systems are invaluable ways to help you reach your destination. What if that same level of convenience helped you navigate after getting out of the car?

Mercedes-Benz and Google are working on it. A new type of “door-to-door navigation” usesGoogle Glass as way to continue turn-by-turn navigation after you park your car.

Mercedes already has a working prototype of the technology and is working with Google to turn it into a reality.

Google already offers walking directions as part of Google Maps. The Mercedes app would streamline communications between Glass and your vehicle, allowing you to seamlessly switch between the two.

In its current iteration, you input an address into Glass at home. That information transfers to your in-car navigation when you get in your car and plug your phone in. Then, when you get out of the car, the navigation returns again to Glass so you can complete your journey.

Glass is currently only available for a small group of "Glass Explorers." The device is expected to be available to the public in 2014 — and Mercedes wants to be ready.
