OverviewWhat is it? What can you do with it? What can’t you do with it? What’s it like to wear all day? Where/when can I get one? How do I develop apps for it?

What is it?Google Glass (styled "GLΛSS") 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, with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.
