Google’s new Project Glass is certainly the coolest hardware product of the current year. The Project Glass is a small screen placed on your glasses. This screen flashes information right on the cue. This information can be of any kind, whether it is setting up meetings with friends, finding a book in a store, getting directions in the city or even video conferencing with a friend. Its screen wraps the glasses on the right eye. These augmented-reality glasses can do just like a smartphone, by looking at information and socializing. The most interesting fact is that, Google actually made them look pretty wearable. They are like standard glasses with a surrounding metal frame. The glasses are equipped with a crystal clear display screen that serves as a camera as well as a microphone. The artificial intelligence is the technology, by which this device is successfully built. These augmented-reality glasses by Google were spotted wearing by Sergey Brin, who is the co-founder of Google. People from all over the world created a huge buzz when Google released a video recently, showing how these goggles could be used.
Deep into Project Glass
The functioning and operation of Project Glass is completely voice operated. This indicates Google’s work on voice recognition system. Similar to Apple’s Siri, Google also wanted to translate spoken commands into actions for its new Project Glass. The demo of Project Glass shows that the glasses are location aware. The notification kind of system in Project Glass guides user towards the correct path. To sense the surrounding activities or to present personalized information, the Project Glass requires artificial intelligence and background running machine learning software. The screen size of Project Glass is quite smaller when compared to smartphone, but it has the potential to display the correct information at the correct time. The screen is also capable of displaying complex data such as diagrams.
Working of Project Glass
The Project Glass works apparently by just tilting head upwards and this would show the time, any incoming messages, weather and any reminders a person may have. One can also send a text message simply by speaking. Wearer also gets an indication when his/her location is near to a certain landmark. These Project glasses can also provide a map like functioning to suggest appropriate routes to the wearer. The wearable screen of Project Glass can also help doctors in making their diagnoses and can contribute in business negotiations.
With the enthusiastic launch of the demo of Project Glass, these goggles may become the ultimate fashion trend for technology fans in coming days. With the launch of Siri that has given thousands of people their first ever taste of artificial intelligence by providing voice operated commands, its Google’s turn now of bringing such an artificial intelligence concept in the form of a wearable device. Google is set to launch this Project Glass as soon as possible. The officials from Google, though, have not yet disclosed the tentative release date of Project Glass, but with the launch of its prototype we can expect it reach us very soon.
