EPSON MOVERIO BT-200, a smart glasses, is actually a projection glasses with its own Android intelligent system. Its implementation principle is similar to that of Google Glasses. After watching the unpacking pictures, let's experience how this smart glasses can bring us.

The accessories of BT-200 are also quite perfect. Two lenses with different transmittance and transparent glasses frame.

On the front of BT-200, we can clearly see the left and right projection areas from here without glasses. The projection area is a 0.42-inch wide screen with 16:9 projection area, and the resolution is 960 × 540. If viewed with the naked eye, it is almost equivalent to the display effect of an 80 inch display at a distance of 5 meters. In addition, it also supports left and right 3D display.

The design of projection is actually the same as that of Google Glasses. The content is projected onto the inclined panel through the side, and the content is displayed from the front of the eyes. However, Google Glass is biased to one side, and this glass is projected in front of both eyes at the same time.

There is also a 300000 pixel camera on the right side of the glasses.

From the side of the glasses, we can also see that the BT-200 is still relatively thick. After all, the projection of the main screen on both sides should be taken into account, so don't expect it to be too thin.

The bridge of the nose is made of metal inside. You can adjust the tightness of the bridge of the nose according to your habits.

The side of the glasses frame is also very thick, but fortunately the glasses are not heavy, but for people who have already worn glasses, the use effect is a little uncomfortable.

In addition, the BT-200 is equipped with a pair of ordinary earphones.

The headphone jack is at the clip of the data cable under the eyeglass frame, and you can hear the sound when you plug it in. In addition, the BT-200 supports Bluetooth connection, and you can also connect a Bluetooth headset to listen to music.

The sunglass lenses can be fastened firmly through the clips on the lens frame. From the perspective of projection effect, dark lenses will be better.

The effect after buttoning is very cool.

The transparent glasses frame was designed by the people who had already worn glasses, and the bayonet was directly stuck on the soft glue of the bridge of nose frame.

But this spectacle frame... is really a chicken bone. Here is a demonstration of the wearing method. After the transparent glasses frame is set, put your eyes from the bottom to the middle of the transparent glasses frame, so that the transparent glasses frame can fix the glasses you originally wore, and then wear them on your head. At this time, the problem arises because the space between the transparent spectacle frame and the BT-200 is limited and the shape is fixed. If you use gold wire glasses, you may be able to get them in, but the big and thick glasses with black and wooden frames, which are popular among young people, can't get them in. But even if you really use gold wire glasses, you will not be interested in using the transparent glasses frame, because this means that you will have to wear a three-layer glasses frame on your head (as shown in the figure)... After wearing it, you will feel very burdensome and uncomfortable, and will also increase the pressure on the bridge of your nose. It is better to hold it with your hand when you want to use it. This type of smart glasses will not have a good experience for people wearing glasses, whether it is BT-200 or Google Glasses.

This is the operation body. There is no screen, only buttons and a whole touch panel on the surface, through which the display content of this smart glasses can be controlled. The ontology also supports TF card extension. After the controller is connected and turned on, the LED above the controller will light up.

The top is the power button. Pull it to the left to start the machine, and pull it to the right to lock the detent.

At the bottom are the three great heroes of Android.

After turning on the machine, the glasses can display the projection normally, and you can see the projection content from here.

The complete unpacking contents and exterior drawings can be viewed from the previous《 EPSON Smart Glasses MOVERIO BT-200 Unpacking Picture 》Watch on.

But there is no way to capture the specific projection content, so we can only simulate the content viewed by one eye. Yes, this product can also be screenshot. The specific viewing experience is that there is translucent projection content on a pair of transparent glass glasses. The Android desktop on the picture is the BT-200 operating interface. Yes, it is simply a native Android. The viewing angle is also quite demanding. A high or low line of sight will seriously affect the viewing effect. It is also unknown whether there is a problem with the projection on the right. The lower right corner will be slightly blurred when viewed with the naked eye, but the screenshot shows that it is OK. The brightness of projection can be adjusted, and the display effect can be improved by increasing the brightness in a strong light environment. In addition, it is always a projection, but there will still be some transparency. When viewing the projection, the projection content will overlap with the background. You'd better look at the solid and dark background when watching. You can also understand why dark sunglasses will have a better viewing effect. In addition, this pair of glasses is also equipped with common sensors such as electronic compass and gyroscope. If the supporting applications can be well developed, this pair of glasses can use more functions.

Well, to go on, BT-200 does not have its own redesigned UI, but directly uses the native Android system, which really seems disingenuous. I thought that such a cool smart glasses would definitely have a good operating experience and a very beautiful, easy-to-use operating system. In fact, once I wear it, my heart will be almost extinguished.

The setting interface of BT-200 says that it is a native Android, which is basically the case. Because the SIM card cannot be inserted, some settings will be a little castrated.

I just got it in English, but for Android, I can just call back Chinese in the language. The operation mode of this smart glasses is to use the touch pad and those physical keys on the operator mentioned above to control. The touch pad is to replace the finger function. You can operate the BT-200 by operating on the touch pad. Because your eyes must basically focus on the contents of the glasses, you can only operate the controller blindly, I'm not used to it at first.

Turn on the camera function of glasses, and you can also choose whether to shoot normally or scan the QR code.

This is its shooting interface, 300000 pixels. I dare not ask for it. I just scan the QR code at ordinary times.

Because it is an Android system, you can install whatever you like.

However, the glasses have a big bug at present, and there is no switch that can set the screen rotation at will, which means that some apps that can only be displayed vertically will be adjusted to be displayed horizontally in the demonstrator of the glasses... Yes, the display is also displayed horizontally when viewed with the naked eye, so you can't see the content clearly.

It is very uncomfortable to watch the contents of glasses with the naked eye.

WeChat is also unable to screen horizontally, which leads to that most applications cannot play together

The glasses also support 3D viewing. The left and right 3D will play one on each side of two screens in the screenshot. In fact, the effect is 3D from the naked eye, with obvious layer separation. If you want a better immersive experience, the best effect I have tried is to turn off the light and watch a movie in bed. Because only the light source of glasses is turned off, the focus of watching will be improved, and you don't need to hold your glasses when lying down, so you will be more comfortable when watching

Finally we run a point?

Ann Rabbit runs ten thousand points.

From here, we can also see the hardware information of the device.

summary

Although Epson's BT-200 smart glasses provide a special idea for virtual reality, their practicality is very general at present, and the best experience at present is the experience of watching videos in the dark. And unlike Google Glasses, it does not change the interaction design of the entire system, but directly uses the native Android system to operate with the touch controller. Although this can reduce the learning cost of users, it actually makes its operation more inconvenient. Wearing devices should need a more convenient Fast operation scheme to improve user experience. Even if the early functions are not rich, at least if there are better solutions in UI and interaction, users will really enjoy them. But now wearable devices are still developing, and Epson's glasses can only be said to be a touchstone on its development path. If there is a better interactive system, more intimate and intelligent functions, I believe that the future of wearable devices will be better.
