New rival Google Glass from Epson
Las Vegas is currently hosting one of the most significant events of the year in the digital industry - CES
At CES 2014 in Las Vegas, Epson, better known as a manufacturer of printers, introduced the second generation of Epson Moverio digital glasses with augmented reality. The Android device has a transparent display, a head tracking system and a built-in camera.
It is worth noting that while being on sale Epson Moverio of the first generation ($ 700 per pair) did not make a splash in the market of wearable electronics. Epson decided to make a difference by releasing an improved model with the same price tag.

The Moverio BT-200 turned out to be more than half lighter and significantly smaller than its predecessor. Digital glasses are equipped with a binocular display using a liquid crystal projection lens system that allows you to overlay digital information on visible objects in the real world. C using the device, you can view the video or play games with augmented reality. Epson also advertises the Moverio BT-200 for corporate use, for example, by engineers or medical professionals.
The screen resolution is the same as the Epson Moverio BT-100 and is still 960 x 540 pixels. Inside the device is a gyroscope, accelerometer and a magnetic compass to track the user's movements. The front camera captures photos and video. Built-in Wi-Fi module provides the ability to stream video. There is also a wireless image mirroring function, HDMI port, Dolby Digital Plus sound support, Bluetooth 3.0 connections and microSDHC memory cards up to 32 GB.
And here is the biggest disappointment from Epson . They managed to add a BIG fly in the barrel of honey: instead of adding smartphone support, the company equipped the glasses with a wired remote control with a touchpad based on the Android 4.0 operating system.
The Epson Moverio BT-200 will arrive in March of this year, and they will cost $ 699.99.
