I think this will be the start of a technological revolution. It's a bit scary really. Google Glass will be available to buy by the end of the year for around £1000.
Google Glass (stylized simply as GLASS) is an augmented reality wearable computer with a head-mounted display (HMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project.
It takes a step further toward ubiquitous computing, which is the idea that the Internet and computers will be accessible anywhere at any time without having to use one's hands.
Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like format hands-free, can interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands, and uses Google's Android operating system.
While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google is considering partnering with sunglass retailers such as Ray-Ban or Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow customers to try on the device.
Glass will utilize many already-existing Google applications, such as Google Now and Google Maps. The device will also be able to display the weather.
Voice commands will be a big driver of apps.
Feature Voice activation text examples -
Record video "ok glass, record a video."
Take picture "ok glass, take a picture."
Start Google+ hangout "ok glass, hang out with [person/circle]."
Search "ok glass, google [search query]".
Search photos "ok glass, google photos of [search query]."
Translate "ok glass, say [text] in [language]."
Give directions "ok glass, give directions to [search query]."
Use Google Now "ok glass, [question]
Send message "ok glass, send a message to "[name]".
