????谷歌眼鏡（Google Glass）是谷歌公司（Google）在可穿戴計算技術領域的一項重大突破。筆者曾詢問過硅谷之外的人們對它的看法,。我所得到的回答幾乎類似：聽起來很酷,，看上去很傻。

????“哈,，讓我戴那玩意兒,？想都別想。除非他們放棄像《回到未來》（Back to the Future）里一樣丑陋不堪的外觀,，”一位癡迷于休閑電子小配件的朋友最近這樣對我吐槽,。（現(xiàn)在，請告訴我你的真實感受,。）

????簡單說明一下,，谷歌眼鏡是一款增強現(xiàn)實眼鏡，定于今年晚些時候上市,。谷歌眼鏡可以將圖像投影到鏡片上,，還可以與你的安卓移動設備同步訪問網(wǎng)頁，也可獨立操作,。谷歌承諾,，谷歌眼鏡功能包括：識別語音命令、拍照,、攝像,、搜索網(wǎng)頁、導航和推薦附近的餐廳等,。簡而言之,，它做好了徹底革新計算技術的準備。難怪有傳言稱,，蘋果（Apple）和微軟（Microsoft）等公司也在開發(fā)可穿戴設備：據(jù)高德納公司（Gartner Research）預測,，截至2015年，可穿戴設備市場規(guī)?？赡軐⑦_到100億美元,。

????谷歌眼鏡開發(fā)者版本,，即“探索者版本”,，目前已經到了一些幸運者手中。評論幾乎一致認為，這款硬件的早期版本令人興奮不已,，具有無窮潛力,。不過，缺點也有,，因為還是它早期版本,，因此，不論是其硬件還是軟件,，或者價位,，都有很多可提升的空間。

????因此,，我們總結了幾條建議,，希望到消費者版本上市時，谷歌眼鏡能有所改進,。不過,，首先需要說明的是：我們并沒有體驗過谷歌眼鏡。對于谷歌充滿未來主義色彩的小玩意,，我們的意見與其他許多人一樣,，都是根據(jù)我們在公司活動上有限時間內的體驗，在舊金山大街上與佩戴者的交流,，以及早期的深入評論,。所以，雖然我們的意見可能不太成熟,，但可以將它們看作我們期望看到的功能特性,。我們的建議如下：

????設計上還要下功夫。許多人可能認為谷歌眼鏡非常時尚,。不過,，肯定也有許多人（比如我那位朋友）會認為谷歌眼鏡目前的造型艷俗不堪，戴上它像個書呆子,。（科技網(wǎng)站The Verge的總編約什?托波爾斯基曾質疑：“誰會愿意在公共場合戴這么個玩意兒,？”）谷歌可能也意識到了這一點。據(jù)報道,，從去年二月份起,，谷歌便一直在與時尚眼鏡初創(chuàng)公司瓦爾比派克眼鏡公司（Warby Parker）談判，聯(lián)手設計更時髦的鏡框,。不論談判能否成功,，消費者版本的谷歌眼鏡預計在外觀上肯定會有很大變化，希望它能變得更加低調,。

????增強顯示效果,。對于谷歌眼鏡顯示器的初步共識是,，它足以勝任顯示需要，但仍有提升空間,。谷歌稱,，谷歌眼鏡的顯示效果相當于在八英尺外看25寸高清屏幕。但癮科技網(wǎng)站（Engadget）總編蒂姆?斯蒂文斯表示,，所謂高清的說法有待商榷——圖像和文字顯示細節(jié)可以更出色,。再加上偶爾出現(xiàn)的顏色失真和不一致，使谷歌眼鏡看上去就像“老舊的無源矩陣LCD屏幕,?！惫雀柘ＭM者能全天佩戴谷歌眼鏡，但消費者們早已被智能手機,、平板電腦,，甚至筆記本的超高清屏幕給寵壞了，現(xiàn)在他們怎么可能接受這樣的顯示效果,？所以,，很明顯，谷歌在這方面還要多下功夫,。

????When I ask people outside Silicon Valley about Google Glass, the company's big play on wearable computing, I get a similar response: Sounds cool. Looks geeky.

????"Ugh, I won't even think about wearing that thing until they ditch the god-awful Back to the Futurelook," a friend and casual gadget fiend recently confided to me. (Well, now, tell me how you reallyfeel.)

????To recap, Google Glass is a pair of augmented reality eyewear due out later this year. It projects images onto the lenses and syncs up with your Android mobile device to access the web but also operates independently. On the list of things Google (GOOG) Glass promises to do: recognize voice commands, snap photos, capture video, search the Web, offer directions, and suggest nearby restaurants to check out. In short, it's poised to possibly revolutionize computing. No wonder other companies like Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) are rumored to be working on wearable devices of their own: Gartner Research projects the market could balloon into a $10 billion industry by 2015.

????A developer's version of Google Glass, dubbed the Explorer Edition, is already making its way to a lucky few. Reviewers tend to agree it's an exciting early piece of hardware with a lot of potential but one that's just that: early. There's still a lot of work to be done on many fronts, from the hardware and software to the possible price point.

????We put together a list of ways we'd like to see Glass improved by the time the consumer version finds its way onto consumers' faces. But let's get this out of the way: We have not played with Glass yet. Our opinions of Google's (GOOG) futuristic tchotchke are, like many, based on the limited time it's received at company events, our interactions with those wearing it on the streets of San Francisco, and early in-depth reviews. So as premature as it may sound to some, consider ours a wish list of features we'd like to see. Here they are:

????Play with the design. A few might call it trés chic. Many more like my friend will probably call Glass's current look loud and nerdy. ("Who would want to wear this thing in public?"questioned Joshua Topolsky, editor-in-chief of The Verge.) Google likely knows this. As of last February, the company was reportedly in talks with trendy eyewear startup Warby Parker to design more elegant frames. Whether negotiations pan out or not, expect the consumer version of Glass to look significantly different and, hopefully, much more understated.

????Crank up the display. The early consensus around Glass's display is it's competent, but it could be much better. Google says it is like looking at a 25-inch high-definition screen from eight feet away, but Engadget editor-in-chief Tim Stevens argues the high-definition part is questionable -- image and text detail could be better. That, along with the sometimes inaccurate, inconsistent colors means Glass "almost has the look of an old-school, passive-matrix LCD [screen]." Given Google wants you to wear this all day, the idea of staring at something of this quality after being spoiled by ultra-high-resolution smartphone, tablet, and even notebook screens, and it's clear more work could be done in this department.
