The search giant Google has patented the technology behind its argumented-reality glasses, know as Project glass. These new "wearable display glasses" are able to display data in front of the users, and is also able to project audio. Besides displaying information about the users surroundings, the glasses in a demo (Google released) shows being able to communicate with other people, browse the web, listen to music, and also take photos.
These glasses seem pretty cool, but also seem to be able to do the same things as a smart phone today can do. These glasses also appear to not be the most stylish thing to wear on your body, and the good thing about the smart phone is that you don't have to wear it.
In my opinion, these glasses may become a large risk to many drivers if they get too focused on picking what song to play next with their glasses. Although there is the risk, I think that human technology is advancing so fast. Sooner or later, we will have First Person Shooter (FPS) games in 3-D where we will have to physically move to play the game which is very exciting.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joo, I watched a video where one of the Google dudes tested the glasses by walking around in public and he was crashing into poles and garbage cans just because he was too distracted by the glasses and that was walking not driving. These are definitely not something you can wear all the time but would be awesome if it could eventually replace cell phones.
