Google Glass is a type of wearable technology featuring an optical head-mounted display, initially launched by Google in 2014. It integrates virtual and augmented reality capabilities, enabling users to communicate via voice commands, take photos and videos, navigate, and translate text while remaining hands-free. Despite its advantages like ease of use and quick access to information, it also faces challenges such as potential privacy issues and vulnerabilities to damage.
