Google Glass is an Augmented Reality device developed by Google. It features a optical head-mounted display that generates information similar to that of a smartphone. Unlike a smartphone, Google Glass allows the user to interact with the device in a hands-free manner. Users can use voice commands communicate with Google Glass.
Google Glass was initially released on April 15, 2013 for 1,500 dollars for a limited time. It became available to general public on May 15, 2014. On January 15, 2014, Google ended the production of the Google Glass but pledged that they were still working on the project.
Hardware
Google Glass can be worn by itself or attached onto eyeglass frames. Its uses a Field Sequential Color LCoS to project rendered images. When images are synthesized, these images are passed through a series of lens elements that direct them to the user's retina. The user perceives a small translucent screen hovering at about arms length, extended up and outward from the right eye. The position of the screen layer depends on the position of Google Glass.
Google Glass has a touchpad on the side of its device. It allows user to slide through apps, events and other timeline-like interfaces.
Google Glass' camera can take 5MP photos and 720p videos.
