JOURNEY OF
GOOGLE GL SS
Glass is being developed by Google X.
The project was announced on Google+ by Project
Glass lead Babak Parviz, Steve Lee and Sebastian
Thrun.
The first Glass demo resembles a pair of normal
eyeglasses where the lens is replaced by a head-up
display.
Around August 2011, a Glass prototype weighed 8
pounds, but the device is now lighter than the
average pair of sunglasses.

WEARABLE COMPUTING
Body-borne computers are miniature
electronic devices that are worn by the
bearer.

Useful complex computations.

EYE TAP TECHNOLOGY
Allows the user's eye to operate as both a
monitor and a camera.

Acts as a camera to record the scene
available to the eye as well as a display to
superimpose a computer-generated
imagery on the original scene available to the
eye.

AUGMENTED REALITY
Real-world elements are augmented by
generated sensory input such as sound,
video, graphics, or GPS data.

View of reality is modified

The information about the surrounding real
world of the user becomes interactive and
digitally manipulable.
