We can only imagine what it would be like to play Battlefield on the latest virtual reality glasses of the future. But to help us along a little, YouTube user Thereisacanal has created a new movie of what Battlefield 5 might look and feel like if it was to be played on Google’s new Glasses concept. Watch the video after the jump to see what the future holds.
The movie by Thereisacanal is also a clever parody of the original clip released by Google when it announced the new Google Glasses concept to the world. If you are not familiar with Google’s new Project Glass, it’s a new research and development program by Google to prototype and build an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD). Project Glass is part of the Google X Lab at the company, which has worked on other futuristic technologies, such as the Google self-driving car.
Google Glasses: A Glimpse into the Future
Google Glasses are expected to be available to purchase towards the end of 2012 and are expected to be priced the same as a high-end smartphone. These glasses are designed to overlay digital information onto the real world, providing users with a seamless blend of reality and augmented reality. Imagine walking down the street and having directions, messages, and notifications appear right in front of your eyes without having to look down at your phone. This is the kind of innovation that Google Glasses aim to bring to the table.
The potential applications for Google Glasses are vast. In the gaming world, for instance, they could revolutionize the way we experience games like Battlefield 5. Instead of being confined to a screen, players could find themselves fully immersed in the game environment, with heads-up displays (HUDs) and other game elements integrated into their real-world view. This could lead to a more engaging and interactive gaming experience, where the line between the game and reality becomes increasingly blurred.
Augmented Reality in Everyday Life
Beyond gaming, Google Glasses could have numerous practical applications in everyday life. For example, they could be used for navigation, providing turn-by-turn directions without the need to glance at a smartphone. They could also be used for hands-free communication, allowing users to send and receive messages, make calls, and even participate in video chats without having to hold a device. Additionally, Google Glasses could be used for educational purposes, providing students with interactive and immersive learning experiences.
In the medical field, augmented reality glasses could assist surgeons by overlaying critical information onto their field of view during operations. This could enhance precision and reduce the risk of errors. In the retail industry, customers could use augmented reality glasses to see how products would look in their homes before making a purchase, or to access additional product information while shopping.
The possibilities are truly endless, and as technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative uses for augmented reality glasses. While there are still challenges to overcome, such as battery life, privacy concerns, and the need for a robust ecosystem of apps and services, the potential benefits are undeniable.
