Microsoft Has an Operating System for Your House
Researchers
at Microsoft have released software aimed at making
it easier for homes to be monitored, automated, and controlled using computers
and the Internet.
It also paves the way for developers to create apps that can be “installed”
into homes with numerous different devices to make use of them in new ways.
Although Internet-connected
products for the home—including security cameras, thermostats, and motion
sensors—are readily available, it can be challenging to install them, and they
typically work independently.

GlassUp Takes on Google Glass With Connected Specs
Miss out on becoming a
Google Glass Explorer? Well you're in luck—sort of. GlassUp is here to fill the heads-up-display
void with its GlassUp eyeglasses. These app-enabled specs connect directly with
smartphones to deliver information right onto its lenses. The company has
launched an Indiegogo campaign, with a
goal of $150,000, and is opening up pre-orders starting today.
So
let's be clear, GlassUp eyeglasses might share the same concept as Google
Glass, but they are two entirely different products. While Google Glass
features native voice control and a built-in camera, GlassUp's eyeglasses have
neither. The company touts its lack of privacy issues, but really these are two
big omissions. GlassUp's eyeglasses will be "receive only" to start,
meaning they can only receive information like notifications and not actually
do anything, like snap a picture.
