3. • Project Glass is a research and development program by Google to
develop an augmented reality Head Mounted display (HMD)
• It is the idea that the Internet and computers will be accessible
anywhere at any time without having to use one's hands
• Google glasses have the combined features of virtual reality and
augmented reality
Introduction
4. • Project Glass was started by Babak Parviz and is being developed by Google X
Lab
• Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like format hands- free. It
can interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands and uses
Google's Android operating system
• Display content on video screen as well as respond to voice command of the
user. Uses 4G/3G technology
• Brings the internet world and real world together. It has a micro phone , camera
and a screen
Overview
7. • Also known as body-borne computers are miniature electronic devices
that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing.
• Wearable computers are especially useful for applications that require
more complex computational support than just hardware coded logics.
• Smart watches, health bands, smart shoes, google glass, occulus rift etc
Wearable Computing
9. • Electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of
people.
• Devices work in concern to support people in carrying out their everyday life
activities.
• embedded: many networked devices are integrated into the environment
• context aware: these devices can recognize you and your situational context
• personalized: they can be tailored to your needs
• adaptive: they can change in response to you
• anticipatory: they can anticipate your desires without conscious mediation.
Ambient Intelligence
11. • EyeTap is a device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a eye to record
the scene available to the eye as well as a display.
• This structure allows the user's eye to operate as both a monitor and a camera
as the EyeTap intakes the world around it and augments the image the user sees
allowing it to overlay computer-generated data over top of the normal world
the user would perceive.
Eye Tap Technology
13. • 4G is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile communications.
• 4G Technology is basically the extension in the 3G technology with
more bandwidth and services offers in the 3G.
• This system provides higher data rates of 100 Mbps in mobility to 1
Gbps while stationary.
4G Technology
14.
15. • Android
• Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such
as smart phones and tablet computers, developed by Google in
conjunction with the Open handset Alliance.
• The user interface of Android is based on direct manipulation, using
touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like
swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-
screen objects.
• Android is the most popular mobile OS and as of 2013, its devices
also sell more than Windows, iOS and Mac OS devices combined.
Android Technology
17. • Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world
environment.
• Real-world elements are augmented by generated sensory input such as sound,
video, graphics or GPS data.
• Augmented reality has many applications, and many areas can benefit from
the use of AR technology. AR was first used for military, industrial, and
medical applications, but was soon applied to commercial and
entertainment areas
Augmented Reality
19. Virtual Reality
• It is computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical
presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds.
• Virtual reality is often used to describe a wide variety of applications
commonly associated with immersive, highly visual, 3D
environments.
• The possibility exists to have films and television programmes which
are watched with a head-mounted display and computer control of the
image so that the viewer appears to be inside the scene with the action
going all round.
25. • You just say 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.
Photography and Video
26. • Google Glass will show you text messages you receive and allow you to reply
to them via voice commands.
• If you are in the habit of Googling things a lot. You simply need to ask a
question and the device will pull the answer from the internet
Send Message and Google Search
27. • Google Glass translate a phrase or sentence from one language to another .
• The widely used Google Maps are integrated into Glass, so that users will be
able to chart the course of their journey or look up locations or
establishments via voice commands.

29. Advantages
• Easy to wear and use.
• Sensitive and responsive to the presence of people.
• Fast access of maps, documents, videos, chats and much more.
• A new trend for fashion lovers together being an innovative technology.
• A spectacle based computer to reside directly on your eyes rather than in your
pouch or pocket.
• A useful technology for all kinds of handicapped/disabled people.
30. • Can be easily broken or damaged. Users will have a tough time taking
care of it.
• It may lead to accidents while driving.
• Privacy of people may breach with glasses.
Disadvantages
31. • Google glasses are basically wearable computers that use the evolving familiar
technologies that brings the sophistication and ease of communication and
information .
• Hands free technology by Google.
• Assistance to disabled individuals.
• Google Glass is fashionable and frame colors are available in gray, orange, black,
white and light blue.
• Google glasses should be used with caution and should not be used to invade
privacy of others
