Today, news was released regarding technology and future releases Google, Sony, and Microsoft are developing. All three have next generation products they are preparing for release. Sony and Microsoft, leaders in the video game industry, released information about their next generation consoles and accessories, while Google gives more information on its "Glass" project.
At Sony's 2013 Playstation Meeting, they announced Playstation 4 and its capabilities, such as streaming games to "try before you buy," handing control of your game over to a remote friend, and gaming graphics that rival that of Hollywood CG movies. Sony also unveiled the new Dualshock 4 controller with a touchpad, headphone jack, and a button that allows you to share content with your friends.
Microsoft is working on the Kinect 2.0, the successor to the Kinect, as well as its next-gen console, dubbed "Durango." The specs for the Kinect 2.0 were allegedly leaked today. The new Kinect touts improved graphics, higher depth stream, larger field of vision, and improved latency.
Last year, Google released a video tease about a project called "Glass." Glass is a foray into augmented reality, offering a heads-up display overlaid onto your vision. Today, Glass released another video demonstrating more of what Glass could be used to do. They unveiled voice commands and real-world footage. Google also announced they are looking for people to test Glass and aid in its development.
This is just a taste of what is in store for technology in the near-future. Imagine what more will be accomplished this year.
