What is a GOOGLE GLASS??

• Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project

• Project Glass is an effort to develop augmented reality glasses. The concept for these glasses was introduced on April 4, 2012 on a Google+ page.

 Augmented Reality

• Augmented reality is simply a view of the real world with some sort of computer-generated image or sound laid over it. In the case of Google Glass this takes the form of a person viewing the real world through the Glasses, but with the ability to see digital information in the Glasses’ ‘screen.’

Wearable Tech
