WHAT IT is?

Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD).

It displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format.

Wearers communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.

 A prototype for a transparent Heads-Up Display (HUD) worn over one eye.

It is basically a wearable computer that will use the same Android software that powers Android smartphones and tablets.

A new paradigm in human-computer interaction.

It will have the combined features of virtual reality and augmented reality.

Development?

Google Glass was developed by Google X, the facility within Google devoted to technological advancements such as driverless cars.

The U.S. military began researching head-mounted displays in 1995. Google Glass is smaller and slimmer than previous head-mounted display designs.

In April 2013, the Explorer Edition was made available to Google I/O developers in the United States for $1,500.

The product began testing in April 2012. Sergey Brin wore a prototype of the Glass to an April 5, 2012, Foundation Fighting Blindness event in San Francisco.

In May 2012, Google demonstrated for the first time how Google Glass could be used to shoot video.

components?
