谷歌眼镜的5大改进方向

    强化电池。虽然科技界名人罗伯特·斯科布对谷歌眼镜爱不释手，声称自己的生活从此再也离不开它（或者说它至少是这个位置的有力竞争者）了，但有一点连他也感到遗憾——糟糕的电池续航能力。斯蒂文斯在独立试用时发现，在适度使用情况下，比如阅读电子邮件和拍摄视频短篇等，谷歌眼镜的电池可以坚持约五个小时。而作为一款移动设备，不论怎么看这都有些差强人意。

    售价必须控制在一千美元以内。价格最好不要高于500美元。当然，这确实是第一件可穿戴计算设备，但既然苹果可以将第一代16G iPad定为499美元，为什么谷歌不能呢？最佳价位应该是多少呢？斯科布在评论中的建议是200美元。

    增加录像指示器。虽然谷歌眼镜目前的工业设计算不上精细，不过有一点是它严重缺乏的，那就是一款指示灯，使佩戴者周围的人能够知道有人正在拍摄他们的照片或影像。比如斯蒂文斯建议，可以增加与小型LED灯类似的装置，使得在拍照或录像时，其他人能够知道。这样一来，谷歌还可以避免更大的麻烦：公众对于隐私问题的严重抗议。（财富中文网）

    Beef up the battery. Although tech influencer Robert Scoble loved Glass so much he declared he would never live another day of his life without it (or at least a comparable competitor) one of the few things he did lament was poor battery life. Independently, Stevens found that with moderate use like reading emails and taking short videos, he managed about five hours before Glass died on him. For a mobile device, that's pretty mediocre however you look at it.

    Keep it under a grand. Better yet, price it $500 or less. It's the first in a new wave of computing devices sure, but if Apple could peg the first-generation 16-gigabyte iPad at $499, we think Google can too. The sweet spot? $200, Scoble suggested in his review.

    Toss in a recording indicator. While Glass' current industrial design may be anything but subtle, the one thing it's sorely lacking is an indicator that lets people around the Glass wearer know their photo is being taken or they're being captured on video. Toss in something -- like say, a small LED light, as Stevens suggests -- that lets others know when this is happening, and Google could head off something much bigger: a public outcry over privacy.
