Google's Project Glass is an augmented reality headset that supplements the real world with computer-generated information displayed through a head-mounted display. The glasses allow users to access information through voice commands and see notifications and data overlaid on the world in front of them. While still in development, Google Glass aims to integrate information and connectivity into a wearable device and enable new mobile experiences through hands-free access to data and services.

1. Google's Project Glass
The first step towards augmented reality

2. What is augmented Reality
• Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a
physical, real-world environment whose elements
are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-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 (possibly even
diminished rather than augmented) by a computer.
• Augmented reality is changing the way we view the world --
or at least the way its users see the world.

4. Google Glass
• Google Glass is a third eye off to the side, but what's coming is
a generation of glasses whose information becomes
immersed in your reality.
• The project is basically based on a pair of augmented reality
glasses that seek to provide users real-time information right
in front of their eyes
• With Glass, Google puts the Internet even closer than your
fingertips-right at eye level and integrates information into
the wearer's visual experience.

5. What is Google Glass ?
• Google X Lab R and D project
• Head mounted, hands-free display for
useful, organized, information
(data, visualizations)
• NLP, voice, other input
• Android O/S
• Dedicated glasses, other integration, form factors
possible (car windscreen, windows ,buildings, glass
walls.

6. What is New ?
• Consumerization of
sci-fi R&D device (trend)
• Wearable device
• Integration with
data, services
• New business opportunities:
Mobile, BYOD, COIT
• Another Mobile option? More than that…

7. How users interact ?
• Information on Google Glass is separated into items on a
timeline. The timeline contains items or "cards" that
display information to the user. Users navigate through
their timeline by swiping backwards and forwards on
Glass, revealing cards in the past and future.
• Each timeline card contains information pushed to Glass
devices from various pieces of Glassware.
• Many timeline cards have additional interactions
associated with them that are accessible with a single
tap. You can define these menu items to allow users to
execute actions such as deleting or sharing a card.

12. How developers interact?
• To interact with a user's timeline, you call the appropriate
RESTful endpoint to carry out the action that you want to do.
Google handles all of the necessary details of syncing
between your Glassware and your users' Glass. Some
common actions include:
– Creating and managing timeline cards on a user's Glass
– Subscribing to notifications from Glass to be notified of
user actions
– Obtaining a user's location

13. Wanna buy it?
• This device will come up with OMAP 4430 dual core
processor and 1GB RAM.
• In all probability, the Glass will come preloaded with
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS or above, when it is released.
• The Glass can be synchronised with the phone and can
carry out all the functions done by your mobile phone.
• In addition it is an entertainment hub also with a screen
with size equivalent to a 25 inches High Definition screen
at a distance of 8 meters.
• The Google Glass also comes with a 5MP camera
• Price : only 1500$
