Project Glass

I love technology and finding new forms of it. Recently I have come across a project that has been developed and is in its trial state. Its basically a weareable computer with an optical head-mounted display. Until recenly I had not even heard of it. Which is strange considering how revolutionary this project is. The idea of having high-tech glasses is not a new one but Google is bringing it to life in an efficient and revolutionary way. Despite all its possible security threats and all the other issues that can arise from this new technology, I think it has real potential. Check it out for yourself here.


It's going to come out for the general public in 2014 and will be anywhere from $300-$400. Google wants to make it the price of an average new smartphone to make it available for the common American. It will include many great features like Google translate, Google search, Google+, Gmail, Google maps, camera, and video recording. Many developers are working for apps for the device and there are plenty of apps that have already been developed. One that I cam across that was particularyly cool was an app that lets Google Glass users take a photo with a simple Wink! Thats amazing. This is going to be great.

**Google Glass can be used in so many productive collaborative ways. The first time Google Glass was used by a surgeon was a complete success. One surgeon in Europe was performing a knee replacement on a patient, while receiving assistance from an American surgeon through Google Hangouts. Thats collaboration at its best.
