Google's Project Glass is Google's attempt to make wearable computing mainstream, and it's effectively a smart pair of glasses with an integrated heads-up display and a battery hidden inside the frame.
What's the difference between Google Glasses and Google Goggles?
Google Goggles is software, an app that can search the web-based on photos and scans. Google Glass is hardware.
How does Project Glass work?
According to well-informed Google blogger Seth Weintraub, Google's Project Glass glasses will probably use a transparent LCD or AMOLED display to put information in front of your eyeballs. It's location-aware thanks to a camera and GPS, and you can scroll and click on information by tilting your head, something that is apparently quite easy to master. Google Glasses will also use voice input and output.
What are the Google Glass specifications?
The New York Times says that the glasses will run Android, will include a small screen in front of your eye, and will have motion sensors, GPS, and either 3G or 4G data connections.Weintraub says that the device is designed to be a stand-alone device rather than an Android phone peripheral: while Project Glass can connect to a smartphone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.0, "it communicates directly with the cloud". There is also a front-facing camera and a flash, although it's not a multi-megapixel monster, and the most recent prototype's screen isn't transparent.
When will Google Glass be released?
Google Glass's release date hasn't been announced yet, although the New York Times reports that "the glasses will go on sale to the public by the end of the year.
Indeed, in May 2012 Google co-founder Sergey Brin said he was hopeful that a Project Glass product would go on sale at some point in 2013.
Expect to see Project Glass go big in 2014.
What is the Project Glass price?
Sources say the glasses will be priced similar to a smartphone and may cost anywhere from $150 to $600, by incorporating sources say better $250 for a pair.
