Google Glass is a headset that displays information like a smartphone. It allows hands-free communication via voice commands. Google started selling a prototype of Glass to "Explorers" in 2013 for $1500. It became publicly available in 2014 but received criticism over privacy and safety concerns. Glass displayed information in front of the wearer and allowed interaction via voice or touch, running on Android and with features like camera, GPS, and internet access.

2.  Google Glass is a headset, or optical head-mounted display, that is
worn like a pair of eyeglasses. It was developed with the mission of
producing a ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displayed
information in a smart phone-like hands-free format. Wearers
communicated with the Internet via natural language voice
commands.

3.  Google Glass is also known as Project Glass which was developed by
Google(Foxconn) in February 2013.
 It is wearable technology or in general it is wearable computer which
works on Glass OS Google Xe software.
 Google started selling a prototype Google Glass to qualified "Glass
Explorers" in the US on April 15, 2013, for a limited period for
$1,500, before it became available to the public on May 15, 2014. for
the same price. The headset has received massive criticism and
legislative action due to privacy and safety concerns.

6. Google Glass was developed by Google X, the facility within Google
devoted to technological advancements such as driverless cars . Google
Glass is smaller and slimmer than previous head-mounted display designs.
The Google Glass prototype resembled standard eyeglasses with the lens
replaced by a head-up display. In mid-2011, Google engineered a
prototype that weighed 8 pounds (3.6 kg); by 2013 they were lighter than
the average pair of sunglasses.
In April 2013, the Explorer Edition was made available to Google I/O
developers in the United States for $1,500.
A Glass prototype seen at Google I/O in June 2012.The product was
publicly announced 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 videos.

11.  Healthcare Applications.
 In December 2013, Medopad, a London, UK based mobile health
solution provider, announced the first wearable health record and
had an official showcase of the technology at the CeBIT conference
in March 2014. With the Medopad application for Glass, doctors can
access patient records, check live patient vitals, collaborate by
sharing what they are viewing in surgery with up to 5 other doctors,
and record video or take pictures.

12. In 2014, Voice of America Television Correspondent Carolyn
Presutti and VOA Electronics Engineer Jose Vega began a web
project called "VOA & Google Glass" which explores the
technology's potential uses in journalism. This series of news stories
examines the technology's live reporting applications, including
conducting interviews and covering stories from the reporter's point
of view. On March 29, 2014, American a cappella group
Pentatonix partnered with Voice of America when lead singer Scott
Hoying wore Glass in the band's performance at DAR Constitution
Hall in Washington, D.C., during the band's worldwide tour – the
first use of Glass by a lead singer in a professional concert

13.  Easy to wear and Use
 Sensitive and responsive to the presence of people
 Fast access of maps videos and chats
 A useful technology for all kinds of Handicapped and disabled

14.  Can be easily broken or damaged. Though Google wants these
glasses to be 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.
 Privacy of people may breach with new glasses.

15.  Photography & video
 Send message & Google search
 Google translate & Google Map
