3D Android Smart Goggles illustrate what it's like to be Godzilla



What you're looking at is the new "3D Android Smart Goggles" that debuted in this year's Consumer Electronics Show.

For those not in the know the CES is an annual event where top technology companies debut their latest in fancy gadgets. (I've personally never been to one but would love to see what it's like).

As the article from tomsguide.com highlights about these goggles:

Equipped with a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor and multiple cameras, the Android 4.0-powered Smart Goggles scan the environment and react accordingly to just about any movement you make: including spinning, jumping, walking, turning and tilting.

So it's literally like being in a 3D virtual world, or as least the closest experience thus far.

The coolest thing about these Goggles was what was presented inside.

Apparently there was simulation of your average city, and based on your movements the goggle would showcase the user destroying the city just like Godzilla would!

Cool huh!

Here's the original article for further information:

It's funny that I found this article because I was just talking with my sister about virtual technology. The subject was brought up after we had seen this commercial:



I was telling her how I wish that within my generation virtual technology will reach what that kid within the commercial was experiencing.

How extremely awesome would that be to play in a world like that!

And it will happen one day, mark my words.  One day you will be able to enter a 360 degree green screen circle of sorts, and once that device powers up you'll instantly be in that gaming world.

If it gets to that point you will literally have kids playing for days on end.  You'd have to shut the house's power off in order to get them away from something so cool.
