This device was not yet Google. Technical details




Back in the beginning of the year before last, the Internet reported that Google is developing a device that is significantly different from everything that the company previously offered in the market of digital devices. Modern users are no longer surprised even with the most powerful smartphones and tablets, but the headset, the expected details of which first appeared on the Internet, will give an opportunity to look at reality in a new way.


Headset

It is believed that Google is working on a set of augmented reality, which will not be necessary for the operation of another device. It will enable you to "superimpose" digital objects on a picture of the real world, says Kyle Wiggers (Kyle Wiggers) on the pages of the resourceventurebeat.com with reference to winfuture.de.


And this is not the first rumor about Google's new headset of augmented reality. In February 2016Wall Street Journalreported that the company from Mountain View created a prototype design with customized sensors from Intel's Movidius, which is reportedly working with many companies engaged in the development of virtual and augmented reality technologies. Up to now, the Internet has been mostly rumored about the prospect of such a device, but now for the first time its expected technical characteristics are considered.

Chipset augmented reality Google - Qualcomm QSC603
The code name for the device is Google A65, and in its description it is noted that it will be similar to Microsoft HoloLens ("not unlike Microsoft HoloLens"). It is assumed that the novelty under consideration will be based on the Qualcomm QSC603 chipset, manufactured in accordance with the 10-nanometer process technology and developed for the Internet of things. The headset will support connections with tablets and peripherals via Bluetooth 5.1 and Gigabit Wi-Fi. The cellular 5G-modem is not provided in it. Over the prototype, Google is reportedly working with Quantra, the manufacturer of Pixel C.

It is also reported that the headset will support voice recognition, which is likely to be implemented through the technology of natural speech processing and its recognition Qualcomm Aqstic. To date, it is not known whether the software of the device will be based on any version of Daydream, which is Google's operating system for virtual reality headsets, or it will support ARCore - augmented reality platform for smartphones and tablets.

Interesting choice Qualcomm QSC603 as the basis of "iron" novelties, if, of course, the existing rumors correspond to reality. The chip was introduced in April 2018. It is equipped with Spectra 270, a high-end image processor, which is an excellent addition to other components - the quad-core Snapdragon CPU, the Hexagon 685 Vector Processor and the Adreno 615 graphics processor.

Spectra 270 features support for two sensors with a maximum resolution of 16 megapixels, enhanced real-time processing functionality and post-processing, including noise correction. Adreno 615 provides video output with a resolution of WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) and supports popular graphics APIs - Vulkan, OpenGL and OpenCL.

But perhaps the most impressive feature of the Qualcomm QSC603 was the Hexagon 685, a chip designed to speed up the work of artificial intelligence. It is part of the Qualcomm Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine and supports the Android Neural Networks API and machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow from Google and Caffe2, as well as the Hexagon Neural Network from Qualcomm.

In 2020, Apple can release a headset of virtual and augmented reality
If such a set of augmented reality from Google will see the light, its competitor will not only offer from Microsoft. Engaged in augmented reality startup Magic Leap plans in 2018 to begin deliveries of the first generation of its Magic Leap One sets. As reported in April this year on the pages ofCNET, Apple is developing the supposedly upcoming release in 2020, the headset, which will combine the capabilities of augmented and virtual reality.

Year one post roaming

                               Year one post roaming What do you need to know in order not to overpay if you travel in Europe? Far is left when one stepped on Paris or Berlin and looked for places to connect to the wifi to share with friends the photos of the trip. It has been a year since the technology frontiers in Europe have fallen and now any citizen can use the mobile networks of any country in the Old Continent - including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway - at no extra cost. Goodbye surprises at the time of arrival of the days of rest for an excess in the bill of the mobile. A measure that, with the value of technology today, has been almost as important as the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which gave the green light to the free movement of people in the Schengen area. Like any rule, it had a small print that it still maintains . On the ...

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like It is still unknown how much will be collected but the law will be processed "imminently", although some multinationals have already complained Amazon, Facebook, Google or Twitter have in common that their fundamental business is based on the sale of advertising 'online', in the intermediary activities of digital platforms or in the commercialization of data that is generated with information provided with the user. Therefore, these companies -among others- will pay in Spain the new tax on technological platforms promoted by the Montero cabinet. These are the three assumptions that the finance minister detailed as the bases on which the "imminent" rate for digital services would be based. Although he placed special emphasis on his first appearance before the Finance Committee in Congress where this newly created tax "will not affect SMEs or medium-sized companies", the...

The EU launches the first European regulation for the flight of drones The aim is for flights to be "safe" even when the sky is "busiest" | So far, appliances of less than 150 kg are regulated by national authorities The Council of the European Union has approved on Tuesday the first legislation that regulates drone flight in the EU in order to "make it more competitive" and introduce measures to ensure the safety of citizens. "These rules will ensure that flights are safe even when our skies are more and more traveled," said Bulgarian Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski, on behalf of the country that represents the Council this semester, after learning of the agreement reached in Luxembourg. It will enter into force this summer once it is published in the Official Journal of the EU. So far, drones under 150 kilos are regulated by national authorities, leaving manufacturers and operators at the expense of different design and safety requirements....
