Google Glass is an optical head-mounted display being developed by Google that functions like a smartphone but allows for hands-free interaction. It displays information in front of the user's eye and can respond to voice commands to take photos, videos, give directions, translate text, and more. Some key technologies that enable Google Glass include augmented reality, wearable computing, eye tap technology, 4G connectivity, and an Android operating system. While innovative, concerns exist regarding privacy and potential distractions from surrounding environments.

9. 1. Augmented reality
• Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment
whose elements are augmented by generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or
GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of
reality is modified by a computer.

12. 4. Eye Tap Technology
Eye Tap is a device that is worn in
front of the eye that acts as a camera
to record the scene available to the eye
as well as a display to superimpose
a computer-generated imagery on the
original scene available to the eye.

22. 01 Start tap
To start using Google Glass, you tap the frame of the glasses and you’re
taken to the home screen. You’’ll see just a simple overlay box that carries
any information.
To issue a command, you tap the frame again and say “OK Glass”.

• Can be easily broken or damaged.Though Google wants these glasses to be as modest as achievable, they seem to
be extremely breakable. Users will have a tough time taking care of it.
• These glasses show the retrieved data in front of users eyes so it will be a tough experience for them since they
will focus on that data and will eventually miss the surroundings that may lead to accidents while driving.
• The resource for running these glasses is still unknown.Will there be a battery or it will run using solar energy?
• Privacy of people may breach with new glasses.
