Google Glass with shotgun helps you shoot without looking

Google Glass can help users send emails or take photos without using their hands. Tracking Point introduced the idea of ​​using an application called ShotView that combines Google Glass with a viewfinder for a gun that allows the gunner to hit targets from a hiding place without having to. direct view. Currently, the application is entering the testing phase and will be officially put into widespread use in the near future.

Technically, the viewfinder of the gun will be equipped with an internal camera, which allows the actual image to be transmitted on the screen of the device via the ShotView application . Camera on the gun and the device will communicate with each other via WiFi connection. The most convenient display device chosen by the researchers is the Google Glass smart glass. However, the application will also have versions running on the iOS operating system that allows the target image to be transferred to the iPhone or iPad depending on the requirements of the gunner.

By equipping the camera with a viewfinder of the gun, the gunner can accurately target the target from its hidden position without having to reveal it directly to the target. This helps improve the safety of soldiers in gun battles on the battlefield. At the same time, the display not only displays the raw images transmitted by the camera, but the ShotView application also adds shooting information and images to enhance the accuracy of the shot. This feature feels like playing a first-person shooter game on a computer rather than shooting a real-life shot.

Currently, the ShotView application is in the early stages of development and testing for Google Glass. This is one of the researchers' projects at the Ohio Air Force Base to seek the potential for high-tech products for military use. Obviously with the idea, Google's smart glasses not only bring a relatively new experience for wearers wear, but also many applications for military purposes.
