Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, imodeli entsha yeGoogle Glass ibonwe ku-Intanethi, izibuko zangempela ezingokoqobo ezethulwe yiGoogle kudala futhi ngemuva nje kokuthi umsebenzi wayo ukhanseliwe. Yize ukwakheka kwayo nokusebenza kukwazile ukudlula izifiso zabanikazi beGoogle. Umenzi omncane ogama lakhe UDavid Quintana ukwazile ukukhiqiza kabusha lezi zibuko ngenxa Hardware Libre manje ku-3D Printing.
Le modeli abayibize nge-UWare ayizimele njengezibuko zangempela, kepha idinga ukuba ne-smartphone eseduze ukuxhuma nokunikeza imininingwane, kepha kusasebenza.
Kokubili izindlu nezisekeli ziphrintiwe kuphrinta ye-3D. Ngemuva kwalokho isetshenzisiwe isikrini esingu-3,5-intshi esihlala ezingeni leso. Lesi sibonisi sixhunyiwe imodyuli ye-bluetooth nebhodi le-Arduino Nano, ngendlela yokuthi ixhuma ne-smartphone yethu futhi ithola zonke izaziso nemiyalezo evela kusikrini eselula.
UDavid Quintana ungumthandi wokuhamba izintaba. Ngenkathi enza lo mdlalo, wayedinga ukubheka isikrini se-smartphone sakhe kakhulu futhi kwenzeka kuye ukuthi akhe le ndlela. Indlela elula kodwa ewusizo futhi enamandla esingayenza sonke ekhaya. UDavid Quintana ushicilele umhlahlandlela wokwakha kanye namafayela adingekayo ekwakhiweni kwawo ku- indawo yokugcina yemiyalo.
Izindleko zale gajethi zishibhile kakhulu kune-Google Glass yangempela. Ngenkathi iGoogle Glass yayinezindleko ezingaphezu kwama-euro angama-100, le gajethi ayidluli ama-euro angama-60, izindleko ezingabizi kakhulu kubasebenzisi abaningi, kepha kufanele sixwayise ukuthi ayinamandla njengaleyo yokuqala.
Kunoma yikuphi, Ukuba iphrojekthi Hardware Libre, ukuguqulwa nokwenza ngokwezifiso kuyasekelwa. Lokhu kusho ukuthi singanamathisela ibhodi ye-Raspberry Pi futhi sithole amandla amaningi ngemali encane Awucabangi?
