Internet & Mobile World 2013 (IMWorld 2013), the second edition, is an event dedicated to digital business solutions. The exhibition and conferences will take place in Bucharest, on October 9th and 10th.

Visitors of the exhibition will have the opportunity to test first hand the intelligent Google Glasses, the latest gadget from Google, that can be activated by voice, acts like a mini-computer and helps the wearer to recognize the people he meets on the street or conferences and make business easier, and to connect to the Internet and social networks. These glasses can take pictures, shoot videos, have an option for videochat, can show GPS guides (Mercedes is testing Door-to-Door Navigation), and can translate in real time any written text that you see or words that you hear.

“The 2nd edition of IMWorld brings together internationally renowned speakers and exhibitors as our intention is to facilitate the contact between the most important providers of digital solutions and the ones interested in using them for their projects and businesses. That is why we invited Nick Sohnenmann, founder and managing partner Future Candy, to the event; he and the analist Jan-Keno Janssen will present the Google Glasses”, said Cristian Hossu,  Managing Partner Universum Events (IMWorld organizer)

Google Glasses’ presentation is scheduled to take place on the 1st day of the event, starting 10 a.m., and, afterwards, the glasses are available for testing in exhibition’s “Future Corner”.

“Other glasses based on a revolutionary technology and that will be also presented at IMWorld are Oculus Rift. Scheduled for launching in the beginning of 2014, the glasses have a 3D stethoscope viewfinder and 9DOF sensors and allow their users to experience video games from a new perspective and to better identify with the game characters”, said Cristian Hossu

Leap Motion is another piece of technology that will be unveiled to the Romanian public and allows controlling the computer simply by making different gestures. The device creates a work area of half meter around the computer and the actions in this area (hands, fingers or other objects movements) are sent directly, without needing a touchpad, a mouse or other instruments.

All the gadgets to be presented at IMWorld, along with other tech novelties, will be available for testing in IMWorld’s “Future Corner”.

Access to IMWorld is available by pre-registering and the “Very Early Bird” tickets – available on www.imworld.ro for a 50% discount until September 13th.

Google Glasses are not even on the market yet but Seattle dive bar 5 Point Café has already banned them from its users ever stepping foot inside.

The 5 Point Café posted a sign for its patrons this week reading that “a** kickings will be encouraged for violators” of their new rule while mutually boasting of being the first establishment to ban them in the city.

Bar owner Dave Meinert says his decision is done half-jokingly for a reaction but half for privacy as well.

“Part of this is a joke, to be funny on Facebook, and get reaction,” Dave Meinert told KIRO-FM.

“But part of it’s serious, because we don’t let people film other people or take photos unwanted of people in the bar, because it is kind of a private place that people go.”

The $1,500 eyeglasses set for release in 2014 are capable of recording videos and pictures that can be instantly saved and shared online.

A system called InSight also makes them capable of identifying people by their clothes, jewelery and other accessories after taking a series of pictures recorded for future recognition.

Responding to the ban in a statement to CNET, Google says it’s to be expected that some won’t be as ready for their product as others.

“It is still very early days for Glass, and we expect that as with other new technologies, such as cell phones, behaviors and social norms will develop over time,” they said.

Perhaps in disagreement, on Saturday The 5 Point compared Google’s device to fanny packs, bags once popular in the late 80s.

“…don’t buy into Googles <<sexy>> imaging promotion of their new Google Glasses,” The 5 Point wrote.

“They are really just the new fashion accessory for the fanny pack & never removed Bluetooth headset wearing set.”

The post includes a picture of an ordinary, every-day man wearing the glasses above a picture of a heavy-set man wearing a Bluetooth device on his ear.

Above it they write: “What they really look like and who will use them below.”

While the ban has received just over 300 “likes” on their Facebook page, the majority of more than 100 comments appear to criticize the bar’s stance while noting its absent ban on cell phones equipped with cameras.

“It’s OK if you wear them,” said Dave Meinert of the device while acknowledging the so-called “tech Geeks” who visit his bar from Amazon nearby.

“I just don’t want them worn inside.”
