Google's ultimate goal: digitize-Google Earth, Google-IT news Google's ultimate goal: the digital earth
Not long ago Google Glass operations team and GuidiGO cooperation, introduced the Google Glass to guided tours of the Museum after the news, someone published Comments:
"Google has a clear value: allows the user to be sensor Digital Earth helped him. ”
In the phrase!
Digital Earth is Google not only of values, can be seen as an ultimate goal for Google. Will Google Glass to the Museum, providing convenient and intuitive navigation presentation is a small step in this ambitious goal.
According to a broad view, digital definition is "to transform complex information into measurable figures, data, again with these numbers, data to establish the appropriate digital models, turn them into a series of binary codes, computer internal, centrally. "It sounds and Google engineer temperament fit in nicely.
Digital Earth on the other side, is to create a virtual world, the computer as binary code is a universal language, the absence of geographical and cultural barriers. Review Google Glass using trajectory, it is not difficult to find, this device currently seems to serve no useful function in digital earth is not light.
In May, the Foursquare,TripIt (Travel Assistant) and OpenTable (online reservation platforms) have landed Google Glass platforms. It is clear that these applications are suitable for outdoor use, this might encourage users to wearer Google Glass shopping trip. On the official Google Glass Google+, they said:
"Whether you want to find your gate at the airport, or looking for Austen's best cafés, also booked a double room in New York, Google Glass can help you. ”
It seems, according to this trend, Google Glass will take the place of travel agencies and tour guides in the future. Shortly before Google bought the Quest Visual, the team developed a practical real-time translation software-Word Lens. In the future, Quest Visual technologies and Google Translate broad language coverage and translation capabilities work together.
Lens the lens of Italy, is the embodiment of man's perspective, Google Glass is just such a device, Word uses the device's Camera Lens have seen things work. Simply put, Word Lens, Google replaced Glass you can view character into the desired language, similar to an augmented reality feature. This also means that creates all kinds of communication barriers language barriers are Google Glass broke a large hole.
Google translate's ultimate objective is to put an end to mankind the barriers of language, and eminent figures of modern speech recognition and natural language processing research Frederick Jelinek joke saying "I fired one linguist, my speech recognition error rate was reduced by 1%" similar to Google translating team relied heavily on algorithms and data, but there are few linguists.
No doubt eliminate language barriers is an important part of digital earth, using algorithms and data, images, text, and the language of speech and other forms of computing devices in the future there will be no difference.
Equally and Museum of art, Google before launching a Project Art project, designed for works of art in museums around the world, photographed, leaving the fineness of 7 billion-pixel pictures.
A case study of masterpieces of Van Gogh's starry, amazing Project provide pictures of fine Art degree, in the two images below, above, below the small red box area enlarged diagram.
Google this behavior there are a lot of real-world data, including in April added to Google Street view "back in time" feature, with this feature, users can see in the Google Street view different periods in the same place, such as the Brazil World Cup main stadium of course, Japan in 2011 before and after tsunami-hit disaster areas in sharp contrast.
As you can see, in terms of space or time, Google is from more than one dimension records reality, translated into data that is stored in the server.
Thoughts on digital, I think a lot of people also think the DragonBall fighting can be displayed in glasses, but rely on the Google Glass, we can also do more, Chaos Communications Congress held late last year in the Hamburg at the hacker Conference, 24 year old Balaban and his startups Lambda Labs plans to release an unauthorized application Google Glass FaceRec.
FaceRec through positioning coordinates integration of data, so as to allow the wearer to show me when and from where she can see who. In the mature stage of the application, the use of facial recognition technology, whenever you see somebody, they know his name, occupation, and other personal information, is a enhanced version of eye of the God of death in the death note. Obviously, this hacker application raises a serious privacy issue, but due to the databases and Google Glass processing power and battery life short Board, FaceRec not going to have a big impact.
Strictly speaking, FaceRec uses Google chupin's hardware, its behavior does not represent official Google, Google also said that only if the mechanisms that can ensure privacy of others not to be offended when, such a feature will be open. But it also sounded a warning to us, and Earth were digitized in the same time, others too, we upload photos on the social networks, to share life when, in fact, is little by little data of its own.
Imagine with FaceRec so that there is a grey area of subtle facial recognition application, it should be a sentence, each meeting of this world are reunited, and with one look, other people's information is at hand, everyone can be empathetic. At that time, the entire Internet is a large "jiayuan". Internet in the various "events" have told us that privacy is becoming increasingly serious, while newer equipment, more intelligent search engines, more vibrant social network, more data will worsen the problem.
In view of this, British drama as allegories of science and technology for the future of the black mirror is not a fantasy.
Artifacts from the Museum, resulting in alienation of language barriers, and then to the geographical location of each past, present, and our personal information, being Google into data exists in digitized form.
