Google Glass掀起一股前所未有的智慧眼鏡與智慧穿戴風潮,而今隨著AR/VR等虛擬實境技術興起,包括Facebook、Google、宏達電、索尼、三星、微軟等科技大廠都正積極佈局搶進,透過智慧頭戴裝置在虛實邊界交錯的擴增實境,營造虛擬實境等創新應用,未來潛力同樣值得期待。

資訊工業策進會及佐臻股份有限公司於COMPUTEX期間,舉辦智慧頭戴裝置創新技術與應用研討會,邀請相關領域的專家與各產業界共同探討穿戴式產品之可能的發展方向,國際大廠在新一代Mixed Reality技術之佈局、智慧眼鏡之實際應用、台灣產業在AR/VR之技術能量、與台灣智慧眼鏡聯盟競賽成果。並透過本研討會方式進行智慧穿戴裝置前瞻技術分享與實體成果展示,期待透過此會議促成更多產業界合作機會與收集更豐富使用者需求回饋。

The launch of Google Glass spurred an unprecedented trend of smart glasses and smart wearable devices. Now with the rise of AR/VR technologies, tech giants including Facebook, Google, HTC, Sony, Samsung and Microsoft are scrambling for a share of the market. Through head-mounted displays, virtual information about the real-world environment is overlaid to show augmented reality, creating innovative applications engaging virtual reality. Their development potentials are worth looking forward to.

Institute for Information Industry and Jorjin Technologies will co-host the Smart Head Mounted Display Innovative Technologies and Applications forum at Computex Taipei. The event gathers experts from related fields and industries for a discussion on potential course of development for wearable devices and a look at advancements by leading international vendors in the next generation Mixed Reality technologies, practical applications of smart glasses, Taiwan-based makers’ R&D achievements in AR/VR and the results of the competition held by Taiwan Smart Glasses Alliance. The forum provides an opportunity to share forward-looking technologies and present actual R&D accomplishments relating to smart wearable devices. It is hoped the event will facilitate additional cross-industry collaboration and collect more user experience feedback.
