google glass
Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project,[8] with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer.[1] Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format,[9] that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.[10][11]
While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google is
considering partnerships with sunglass retailers such as Ray-Banor Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow customers to try on the device.[1] The Explorer Edition cannot be used by people who wear prescription glasses,
but Google has confirmed that Glass will eventually work with frames
and lenses that match the wearer's prescription; the glasses will be
modular and therefore possibly attachable to normal prescription
glasses.[12] On
26 Jan 2014, Google announced that they were adding four prescription
frame choices for about $225.00 U.S. It is necessary to remove a small
screw in order to move the Google Glass from one frame to another.
Glass is being developed by Google X,[13] which has worked on other futuristic technologies such as driverless cars. The project was announced on Google+ by
Project Glass lead Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also
worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a product
manager and "geolocation specialist"; and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on the autonomous car project.[14] Google has patented the design of Project Glass.[15][16] Thad Starner, an augmented reality expert, is a technical lead/manager on the project.[17]
