Looking Through Google Glass

If the new trend around the corner was the rise of smartphones and tablets for a few years now, the stage is all set now for the era of wearable devices. A decade later we would not be able to live without these things. We are now looking at the era of wearable gadgets. Here comes a smart goggles from Google- the Glass!

Wearable devices will be transforming our lives just the way smartphones and tablets have turned our way around. We carry around portable computers now. Now its our turn to wear the computers!

What it does?

Tell the Glass, 'OK Glass, take a picture' and you can take a snap of what you are looking at. The Glass can record videos live and hand-free just as those events unveil in front of you- just tell your Glass to do it for you. You can even give virtual tours to your Hangout friends by video conferencing through the Glass. Share those cool pictures and awesome performances on the go to your favourite social networks and groups just by telling 'OK Glass, share with... so and so... '. See beyond the horizons as navigation information is overlaid on your glass. You get the picture.

You can send messages to your friends while the action unfolds- walking, running, playing cricket, kayaking or almost anything. 'OK Glass, Google Sachin Tendulkar' if you want to know about Sachin. You can Google search on the go. If you don't know Spanish and you want to wish someone good morning in Spanish, you can just ask 'how do you say good morning in Spanish?' and hear how you say it in Spanish. If you are in Japan and you can't read the signs, take a picture and translate it. You can check movies on theatres nearby, check train schedules and so on. Get auto updates from your calendar events and meetings without having to look for them in your smartphone.

The Google Glass is now just a starter hand-free voice-activated assistant who can do some cool things. The Glass in a matter of time, will be able to do what you would want it to do and it will go from 'cool' to 'useful'.


Geeky Looks

The Google glass sports a light, modular and strong design. Google Glass' geeky design comes in many shades, frames and colors- cotton, sky, tangerine, charcoal and shale. Google glass uses light titanium frames and the glasses use Zeal and Maui Jim optics. These compact twist-on frames are impact resistant. The earbud pieces are available in five colors too.
At present only US residents can join the Explorer program for Google Glass. In some time you can see people going around wearing the Glass and talking to themselves- 'OK Glass, Google... do this, and do that... '!
