Google Glass is a wearable computer developed by Google's secretive X lab that features an optical head-mounted display. It displays information like a smartphone in a hands-free format accessible through voice commands. The display has the equivalent resolution of a 25-inch screen from 8 feet away and includes a camera, bone conduction audio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and storage synced to the cloud. Glass uses technologies like augmented reality, eye tap displays, and Android software. While it provides easy access to information and assistance, critics raise privacy and safety concerns about its use.
