Google Glass is an augmented reality smart glasses project developed by Google. It displays information in a smartphone-like format including emails, text messages, pictures and more. The glasses record video and take pictures. While useful for hands-free computing, concerns exist around privacy and distraction. Future versions may have more capabilities and replace smartphones, but current disadvantages include fragility and potential accidents from missing surroundings.
