It's dream of creating wearable technology is far closer to release than anyone would have guessed : 'Google Glass'. What is Google Glass? Why is it attracting people's attention? What are its implications? How it feels to wear a Google Glass? Let's take a quick look at all these aspects.
What Is Google Glass?
Google Glass is an attempt to free data from desktop computers and portable devices such as mobiles and tablets, and place it right in front of you. Essentially, Google Glass has a camera, display, touchpad, battery and microphone built into spectacle frames so that you can perch a display in your field of vision, film, take, pictures, search and translate on the go. Google Glass uses a display technology to put the data in front(upper right) of your vision in a prism screen. This is designed to be easily seen without obstructing your vision. According to Google the display is equivalent to a 25-inch high definition display that is 8 feet away.What Can Google Glass Do?
Any function that requires you to look into the screen could be put in front of you. Controlling this data is the neat trick. With a microphone and a touchpad on one arm of the frame, you can do it with a brief gesture or by talking to the device, and Google Glass will interpret you commands. Google Glass can also provide sound with bone induction technology that vibrates your skull to produce sound which is less cumbersome than on a traditional headphones. It provides a 640 x 360 display and the built-in camera is 5MP that can film at 720p.Third parties are also ready developing new and cool apps for the Glass. Considering its physical specs, the frame will come with a replacement, adjustable nosepads and a touchpad along one arm. It is also expected to be extremely light weight and extremely robust. There is a Micro USB and a charger in the developers version and all of the above specs will be available in the consumer version. Lastly Google Glass come in 5 colors: Charcoal, Tangerine, Shale, Cotton and Sky.
It's Implications?
Apart from its high costs ($1500), we believe that the Google Glass is a great breakthrough in the development of technology. It would also make people's life easier and faster with this revolutionary wearable technology. If you are worrying that you may not be able to use the glass because you wear glasses, then you are wrong. You need not worry as Google has models that include prescription lenses and stylish shades. Ultimately, the Google Glass will be something that will change lifestyles of people.Google Glass Explorer Edition
