Gesture-controlled Golden-I Bluetooth headset PC coming real soon
Kopin had begun its venture into freeing us from carrying our computing gadgetry everywhere, back in May, when we saw the early renderings of the Golden-I Bluetooth headset. We said the project had potential back then itself, and the early possibilities to affirm so may be on us already.
This Bluetooth Headset with a 15-inch virtual PC display, the Golden-i Gen 2, will be entering field trials this December, while production could begin next year. I’d mentioned that the headset will be available for consumers by 2010, and if all goes as planned for Kopin, they may actually prove me right with this too.
Powered by an ARM Cortex A8 processor and running Windows Embedded CE 6.0, the Golden-i Gen 2 can remotely control up to seven devices or networks simultaneously, thanks to the headset's head-gesture recognition and voice-control abilities. It can connect to phones, computers and electronic devices via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and is good to stream videos @ 30fps in 720 x 480 resolution, which can be stacked up in large quantities on the SSD and microSD memory cards.
No word on the pricing yet, but it goes without guessing for something as out of the box as this, the only word I can muster is – expensive!
