Google Glasses



According to the information given, on the official webpage, the google glasses will be a revolutionary product. It uses a Field Sequential Color LCOS to project the image onto the glass to project the rendered image onto the lens, and then into our retina. It was first announced by Karl Guttag in March 2013. It is technically a glass frame (therefore you can add your own glasses onto the frame) with a small sort of LCD on the top right, that will project an image for you, and only you, to see.



It can be able to:
-Take pictures hands free
-Share what you take Live
  (About this: I think you will require a wifi connection, so you might need to use 3G by connecting to your smart phone :(
-Maps and locations
-Facial recognition
-You can ask it questions
-You can speak to send a message....
etc.

As you can see, so far this device, will be one of a kind, the newest to ever be made. We have dreamed of products like this many years ago. But because of all this new technology, will its price go rocketing above others?

Here are some of its specs:

-5MegaPixel camera
-720p video recording

The audio is surprisingly cool, the sound is transmitted by vibration through a bone in the back of your ear, so only you will hear it, no one else. Its called the Bone Conduction Transducer (CBT).

-16GB Flash total (along with cloud storage)
-Compatible with Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3) or higher to run the MyGlass companion app.
-Bluetooth and wifi-connectivity
-So far NOT AVAILABLE FOR IOS Devices. (ie Iphone/Ipod).
-Enables GPS and SMS.


Possible Cons:
-It could be bad for your health as you shall wear it on for long periods, near your brain, whilst it is sending and receiving wireless data.
-It could be very expensive, using all this new technology
-Dangerous as your personal information may be "leaked", making you vulnerable to hackers.
-Government involvement, may also afflict your personal space.

It is estimated to be available for the public, next year (2014) around August-November. (Besides beta testers and prototypes which will need application to order.)
