Google Glass is an optical head-mounted display designed in the shape of a pair of eyeglasses. It was developed by Janco van der Merwe[9] with the mission of producing a ubiquitous computer
2. 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.
3. 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.’
4. Wearable Tech
• It’s technology you can wear. Google
Glass is essentially a computer you can
wear on your head in the form of a set of
glasses
5. Understanding Google Glass!!
• It has all the qualities of a computer,
smartphone, tablet, iPad, GPS navigation
system, camera and more in a tiny piece
of glass and stylish frame.
• Google glasses, also known as Google
goggles
8. Touch Pad
• A touchpad is located
on the side of Google
Glass, allowing users
to control the device
by swiping through a
timeline-like interface
displayed on the
screen.
9. Take pictures or record videos
• Just say the word and Google Glass will take a
picture or record a video – you will never have to
touch the hardware. The photos and videos will
be stored on the 4GB flash memory of the
device, and can also be shared on social
networking websites or emailed.

into Glass, so that users will be able to chart the
course of their journey or look up locations or
establishments via voice commands.
14. Messages & Information
• Google Glass will show you text messages as
well as emails you receive and allow you to reply
to them via voice commands.

you will find that your task has been made easier
by the new Glass. You simply need to ask a
question and the device will pull the answer from
the internet.
15. Acts as info source
• One of the key features of Google Glass is their
awareness of where you are and what you’re looking at,
at all times. It means they can anticipate your needs and
flash up information that’s going to be relevant to you.

available but some of those who signed up
to the Google Glass Explorer program
have been able to purchase a developer
