Introduction Google GLASS is a wearable computer with an

augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD).

Google GLASS displays information in smart phone-like hands-free format, that can interact with the internet via natural language voice commands.

Revolutionary new product made

by Google

Virtual RealityComputer-simulated environment

that can simulate physical presence

Displayed through computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays

Speakers, headphones, force feedback also used

Gaming, simulations for pilot training

Combined Features :

Augmented Reality Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a

physical, real-world environment.

Real-world elements are augmented by generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

DevelopmentThe Glass project was started "about three years ago" by an engineer named Babak Parviz.

Glass is being developed by Google X .Google X is a secret Laboratory, which works on research & development of futuristic technology.

The self-driving(or driver less) car was a result of this so called secret lab.

Technologies Used

Wearable ComputingWorn by the bearer under , with or on top of clothing.

Developed for

general or special

purpose information

technologies & media

development.

Ambient Intelligence Electronic environments that are sensitive & responsive to the presence of

people.

Devices work in concert to support people in carrying out their everyday life activities.

The technology disappears into our surroundings until only the user interface remains perceivable by users.

Smart Clothing Smart Clothing are fabrics that enable digital components &

electronics to be embedded in them.

Integration of textiles with electronic elements like microcontrollers, sensors, & actuators.

Eye Tap Technology Eye Tap is a device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a camera to record the scene available to the eye as well as a display monitor.

Smart Grid Technology Smart Grid is an electrical grid

that uses information & communications technologies to gather & act on information about the behaviors of suppliers & consumers, in an automated fashion.

It improves the efficiency, reliability, economics, & sustainability of the production & distribution of electricity.

4 G Technology 4 G technology is basically the extension in the 3 G technology

with more bandwidth & services offers in the 3 G

This system provides higher data rates of 100 Mbps in mobility to 1 Gbps while stationary.

AndroidAndroid is a Linux-based OS for mobile devices such as smart phones & tablet computers, developed by Google in conjuction with the open handset alliance.

BenefitsEasy to wear & use.

Sensitive & responsive to the presence of people .

Fast access of maps, documents, videos, chat & much more.

A new trend for fashion lovers together being innovative technology.

A spectacle based computer to reside directly on your eyes rather than in your pouch or pocket.

A useful technology for all kinds of handicapped/disabled people.

EvilCan be easily broken or damaged. Users will have a tough time

taking care of it.

High Cost.

Side effects are unknown.

Google Glass is coming with a tiny battery. So, it lasts only 4-5 hours.

It may lead to accidents while driving.

Privacy of people may breach with new glasses.

Can be used only in metro cities.

Future Scope Google is a futuristic gadget we have seen in recent times.

Its limited in scope right now, but the future, Google believes, is bright & the device itself is “incredibly compelling”.

Trying to get approval by FCC this year.

Conclusion Google glasses are basically wearable computers

that use the evolving familiar technologies that brings the sophistication & ease of communication & information.

Hands free technology by Google.

Google Glass is fashionable & frame colors are available in gray, orange, black, white, & light blue.
