This presentation will help you to understand better the working of Google glass the innovation that makes changes in the world and bring new innovation to you
Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development projectThe intended purpose of Google Glass would be hands free displaying of information
Glass is being developed by Google X
Project Glass is a research and development program by Google to develop an augmented reality Head-Mounted Display (HMD). The intended purpose of Project Glass products would be the hands-free displaying of information currently available to most Smartphone users, and allowing for interaction with the Internet via natural language voice commands. These glasses will have the combined features of virtual reality and augmented reality. Google glasses are basically wearable computers that will use the same Android software that powers Android Smartphone and tablets.
The emergence of Google Glass, a prototype for a transparent Heads-Up Display (HUD) worn over one eye, is significant on several levels. It is the first conceptualization of a mainstream augmented reality wearable eye display playing out in a viral marketing campaign. Google Glass will enable us to capture video, let us interact with personal contacts, and navigate maps, amongst other things. It has been provocative enough to scare both Apple and Microsoft, who had been issuing patents for augmented reality products of their own . However, most salient of all is the way Google Glass is framed in media as the brainchild of Sergey Brin, the American computer scientist of Russian descent who co-founded Google. Brin is also celebrated in online articles as a real life “Batman,” who is developing a secret facility resembling the “Batcave”. This paper argues that Glass’s birth is not only a marketing phenomenon heralding a technical prototype, it also suggests and speculates that Glass’s popularization is an instigator for the adoption of a new paradigm in Human- Computer Interaction (HCI), the wearable eye display. Glass’s process of adoption operates in the context of mainstream and popular culture discourses, a phenomenon that warrants attention.
Google Glass is as futuristic a gadget we’ve seen in recent times. A useful technology for all kinds of people including handicapped/disabled.
The Google Glass operating system is based on a version of Android, and it can run apps called Glassware that are optimized for the device. The glasses have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and a camera for taking photographs and videos
This ppt is on google glass the emerging technology. Technology is getting much smaller day by day and this is the example of that.
I hope you like it. If yes please like . It will be a encouragement and there is many ppt coming soon.

We’ve seen this before – incredible technology is released to the consumer and a flurry of unimaginative, low impact uses and applications are associated with it. Anyone remember the early days of the app store? Google Glass is about to hit a similar junction, but rather than seeing an emphasis on picture-taking, sport-reporting, calorie-counting apps, the focus will be on Google Glass being used by people who do really important, life-saving jobs with both hands, and don't actually care how they look. This session will cover and explore the use cases developed by actual firefighters, police officers, EMTs, surgeons, and soldiers. If you're more interested in how Glass will make a difference in the world than how it'll let you creepily take pictures of people by winking, this talk is for you. We'll skip over the 1.0 apps and talk about how Glass might actually help people doing important jobs do them better.
Is wearable technology really the next big thing? Is it the next category of tech that will change the way we live? Or are smartwatches, fitness trackers, military gadgets and those snazzy Google Glass are a thing we’re supposed to accept as The Future?

2. What is “Google Glass” ???
Google Glass (stylized simply as GLASS) is an augmented
reality wearable computer with a head-mounted display (HMD) that
is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and
development project.
It takes a step further toward ubiquitous computing, which is the
idea that the Internet and computers will be accessible anywhere at
any time without having to use one's hands.
Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like format
hands-free,can interact with the Internet via natural language voice
commands,and uses Google's Android operating system.
While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google
is considering partnering with sunglass retailers such as RayBan or Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow
customers to try on the device.
5. The TEAM behind the MAGIC
Glass is being developed by Google X Lab, which has worked on
other futuristic technologies.
The project was announced on Google+ by Project Glass lead Babak
Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting
displays into contact lenses.
Steve Lee, a project manager and "geolocation specialist"
and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on
the self-driving car project.
Google has patented the design of Project Glass. Thad Starner is a
Technical/Lead Manager on the project.
Isabelle Olsson, Industrial Designer of the product, is responsible for
a number of the design decisions, such as the Glass color scheme.
7. The COOLEST Development Process
The first Glass demo resembles a pair of
normal eyeglasses where the lens is replaced by a head-up
display.
A Glass prototype weighed 8 pounds; the device is now
lighter than the average pair of sunglasses. In the future,
new designs may allow integration of the display into
people's normal eyewear.
Though head-worn displays for augmented reality are not
a new idea, the project has drawn media attention primarily
due to its backing by Google, as well as the prototype
design, which is smaller and slimmer than previous
designs for head-mounted displays.
9. The INSPIRATION behind the CONCEPT
According
to string-theory advocates, our universe
has at least 10 dimensions.
But we humans can only directly perceive three
spatial dimensions.
We experience the passage of time, a fourth
dimension.
Beyond that, we only know other dimensions are
even possible through theoretical mathematics.
Our Universe may hold secrets that we will never
be able to observe directly.
10. So how Physics & Math connects with
Computer Science in this Concept ?
Even if you discount string theory and the idea of
dimensions beyond our perception, our world contains
a wealth of information that most of us aren't aware of
in our daily lives.
When visiting a city for the first time, we may only
have our senses to rely upon when gathering
information.
A smartphone or computer can help out, pulling in
more data about the city's geography, history,
economics, cuisine, culture and other features.
13. The Magic of “Augmented Reality”
It
is a software that overlays a level of digital
information on top of the physical world around us - have brought us more data.
With
an augmented-reality app on your
smartphone, you might be able to hold your phone's
camera up to capture the image of a city street.
Looking at the screen, you can see information
about your surroundings. The augmented reality app
maps digital information to your real-world
surroundings.
16. The UNIQUE Features of Google Glass
Photography and video Google Glass has the
ability to take photos and record 720p HD video. While
video is recording, a recording light is displayed above
the eye, which is unnoticeable to the wearer.
Google applications Glass will utilize many
already-existing Google applications, such as Google
Now and Google Maps. The device will also be able to
display the weather.
Voice commands Multiple features of Glass can be
seen in a product video released in February 2013.
25. The “GEEKY” Reception of the GLASS
In general, reception for Google Glass has been positive in
the technology industry.
There have been parodies and criticisms aimed at the
general notion of augmented reality glasses, ranging from
the potential for Google to insert advertising (its main
source of revenue) to more dystopian outcomes.
The eyewear's functionality and minimalist appearance
(aluminium strip with 2 nose pads) has been compared
to Steve Mann's EyeTap also known as "Glass" or "Digital
Eye Glass", although Google Glass is a "Generation-1
Glass" compared to EyeTap, which is a "Generation-4
Glass“.
27. The “EXPLORER” Program of the Glass
An early adopter program named the Glass Explorer program is
available for developers and consumers to test Google Glass, and it
will also gauge how people will want to use Glass.
Entry into the Glass Explorer program was made available to the
general public on February 20, 2013, and ended on February 27,
2013.
The program stated that it was looking for "bold, creative
individuals" who wanted to test the device. Those who wanted to
apply were required to post a message on Google+ or Twitter
consisting of 50 words or less, featuring the hashtag #ifihadglass.
The Explorer edition receives data through Wi-Fi, or it can tether via
Bluetooth to an Android device or iPhone and use its 3G or 4G data;
the Glass also has a GPS chip.
31. CONCLUSION
In
November 2012, Glass received recognition
by Time Magazine as one of the "Best Inventions of
the Year 2012”.
Google's answer to all handheld device problem
comes in the form of a wearable device.
It looks like a pair of sunglasses with one side of the
frames thicker than the other.
It's called Project Glass, and it might turn your
world into endless amounts of information.
