Project Glass is an another awesome project by Google. It was researched and developed by Google to implement an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD). In short, it just like an glasses, but able act like a smartphone – or even more – but controlled by user voices.
The intended purpose of Project Glass products would be the hands free displaying of information currently available to most smartphone users, and allowing for interaction with the Internet via natural language voice commands, in a manner similar to the iPhone application Siri.
The operating system software used in the glasses will be Google’s Android.
Project Glass is part of the Google X Lab at the company, which has worked on other futuristic technologies, such as a self-driving car. The project was announced on Google+ by Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a project manager and “geolocation specialist”; and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as working on the self-driving car project.
