Google Project Glass: audio osteophonique confirmed

Remember, this is the last month that we discovered a new patent filed by Google and featuring an integrated audio system osteophonique directly to a pair of glasses. At the time, many of us have to think that this device was the Glass Project of the firm and it finally seems that it is indeed the case. It is in any case what transpires in the documents filed by the company with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). And it is not the only thing that it has taught us ... Everything is clearly explained a little further down in the article.

But first, we will perhaps take the time to explain how the osteophonie. The concept is quite simple since it is just to ensure the propagation of sound from vibrations transmitted to the bones of the skull , the latter thus being used as a sounding board. Beautiful, obviously, but you can still report that this technology is not new, as many companies have already worked on it. I already mentioned in my other article, but this is particularly the case for Panasonic presented at the last CES headphones of this type.

To return to the Google Glass Project, this device should be directly integrated with branches glasses. Note however that it is still too early to know whether the final model will really benefit. Currently, this technology would be integrated on the development model and it is entirely possible that Google makes reverse if it considers that it is necessary.

Besides that, it can also indicate that the document filed with the FCC makes clear the fact that Google Project Glass incorporate both a WiFi chip 2.4 GHz 802.11 b / g / n and both Bluetooth 4.0 chip . This is not surprising, of course, but it should all de same allow developers to make pretty things in the future connecting these glasses to our brave smartphone that never leaves us.

Instagram should happen very quickly BlackBerry 10. And this is still a very good news.

Attention all information is not official. It therefore does not RIM / BlackBerry, or Facebook / Instagram. In fact, it would be a "source familiar with the matter" that would have disclosed the information to CrackBerry. In other words, it will take a while before the champagne.

Speaking of BlackBerry 10 and applications available on the BlackBerry World, we can add that if the benefits of a catalog of 70,000 applications - against just over 730,000 in the AppStore and more or less the same for Play the Store - 40% of these are in reality mere ports of Android. means that the BlackBerry World would total 42,000 actually native applications.

Xbox 720 "Durango" an ad for spring?

Just like its big rival, the Xbox 720 "Durango" is more about her and if some of its specifications have been circulating on the web few days, we still do not know when it will be formalized by Microsoft. It's unfortunate, obviously, but Polygon apparently got some information on the subject from a source close to the matter. According to the latter, the Redmond company could then present its new home console this spring , or a few weeks.

Just for those who are not born with a calendar in the head and who have bothered to go snooping on Wikipedia, you can add the spring usually begins on 19, 20 or 21 March. In addition, it usually lasts until June and if we believe the information obtained by Polygon, this means that the Xbox 720 "Durango", or whatever his name might be officially unveiled between March and June.

A few weeks before E3 2013. Microsoft and apply the same strategy as Sony unveiling its new console in front of the famous salon and during an event that would be dedicated.
