3. Google-Glass is a research and development program
by Google to develop an Augmented Reality (AR)
Head Mounted Display (HMD).
The intended purpose of Project Glass products
would be the hands-free displaying of information
currently available to most smart phones users, and
allowing for interaction with the Internet via natural
language voice commands.
Introduction

4. Overview of Google Glass
 The glasses are not being designed to be worn constantly — although Google engineers
expect some users will wear them a lot — but will be more like smart phones, used when
needed, with the lenses serving as a kind of see-through computer monitor.
 Several people who have seen the glasses, but who are not allowed to speak publicly about
them, said that the location information was a major feature of the glasses. Through the built-
in camera on the glasses, Google will be able to stream images to its rack computers and
return augmented reality information to the person wearing them. For instance, a person
looking at a landmark could see detailed historical information and comments about it left by
friends. If facial recognition software becomes accurate enough, the glasses could remind a
wearer of when and how he met the vaguely familiar person standing in front of him at a
party. They might also be used for virtual reality games that use the real world as the
playground.

5. Features
•Tiny & Powerful
•Google Glass’ Voice Input
•Take Photos & Videos
•Always On Call
•Get Location On-The-Go
•Weather & Travel Alerts
•Easy Sharing

6. Tiny & Powerful
It’s amazing how the Project Glass team has
managed to squeeze all of its features into a tiny
‘computer’ supported on a lightweight yet strong
frame.

7. Google Glass is packed with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS,
speakers, a camera, microphone, touchpad and
possibly a Gyroscope that detects head-tilts. Then
there’s the main piece, a tiny screen the size of your
finger, that shows you all the information you need
at your finger tips.

8. Google Glass’ Voice Input
 Well, all that hardware is put to good use: Google Glass has voice
input, which makes everything a lot more interesting. The built-in
microphone combined with Google Now connects you directly to the
search engine.
You activate Google Now by saying "Okay Glass" then send a
command or question. Tilting your head up does the same thing.

9. Google Glass users can now live in the moment, and keep that
memory in pictures or videos. No more foraging around for a
camera, tuning the settings of your photo apps, and letting the
moment go by without a single snap.
You can take a photo or record a video, all by just saying the
command for it – more on that, later. On the right, is a touchpad
where you can swipe through, to get to menus; tapping, registers
your selection. Just say, "Take a Photo" and your view at the
moment is captured, hands-free.
Take Photos & Videos

10.  Other than photos, you can do the same with videos,
which spells opportunities for extreme sports, real-life
tutorials and more. Of course, picture quality coming
from a device this small would not be comparable to
a DSLR camera, but oftentimes, you’d rather not lose
out on the moment.

11. Always On Call
 With Glass being able to record
videos, it can also act as a
webcam with the data
connection from your home or
smartphone. You can use Google
Hangout for a group conference,
and still do what you need to do
without being confined to a desk.
 The powerful voice input feature
also allows you to dictate text
messages, attach videos and
pictures alongwith and sending it
via your mobile data connection,
without having to remove your
phone from your pocket.

12. Get Location On-The-Go
 Since it’s built with a GPS chip, it has an Interior Map it’ll be able
to help you navigate, with help from Google Maps. This will take
away the need to look down at your smartphone and it will be
especially handy when you are driving, when you’re walking through
crowded streets or when you’re hiking through the countryside.

13. Weather & Travel Alerts
 Live information that is shown to you would come from the predictive
software of Google Now. On Android’s Jelly Bean, Google Now knows when
you’re leaving your home for work and can warn you of bad traffic before you
get stuck in it.

14.  You can also set your favourite sports team and it’ll give you the latest news, scores and
updates from the team, whenever they play.
 All those features are available on Android, but with Glass, you can skip checking your device
and just get it shown to you as and when it happens, or as news feeds. Google Now cards also
shows you your boarding pass, next appointment, hotel or restaurant reservations, reminders
for important birthdays and events in your calendar.

15. Easy Sharing
 Google Glass works not only with Android
phones but also with the iPhone, according to
this report. Apart from the GPS chip inside,
Google Glass is dependent on the Wi-Fi or
mobile connectivity to deliver its features. It
is only fair game it if is available like any
third-party accessory.
 When paired up with your smart device, it
can show social network notifications and let
you communicate via the same channels as
you would on the computer. This removes
the need of looking at your smartphone
constantly, giving you more time to
concentrate on the task at hand.

16. How it works?
 The device will probably communicate with mobile phones through Wi-Fi and
display contents on the video screen as well as respond to the voice commands of
the user.
 Google put together a short video demonstrating the features and apps of Google
glasses. It mainly concentrates on the social networking, navigation and
communication.
 The video camera senses the environment and recognizes the objects and people
around. The whole working of the Google glasses depends upon the user voice
commands itself.

19. Wearable Computing
 Worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing.
Developed for general or special purpose information technologies and
media development.

20. Ambient Intelligence
 Electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive
to the presence of people.
 Devices work in concert to support people in carrying out
their everyday life activities.
 The technology disappears into our surroundings until only
the user interface remains perceivable by users.

21. Ambient Intelligence Environments

22. Smart Clothing
 It is a combination of new fabric technology and digital
technology.
 The clothing is made with new signal-transfer fabric
technology installed with digital devices.

23. Eye Tap Technology
 Eye Tap is a device that is worn in front of the eye that acts
as a eye to record the scene available to the eye as well as a
display.
 Eye Tap intakes the world around it and augments the
image the user sees allowing it to overlay computer-
generated data over top of the normal world the user would
perceive.

24. Smart Grid Technology
 Smart grid is an electrical grid that uses information and
communications technologies to gather and act on
information about the behaviors of suppliers and consumers,
in an automated fashion.
 It improves the efficiency, reliability, economics, and
sustainability of the production and distribution of
electricity.

25. 4G Technology
 4G is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile
communication standards.
 This system provides mobile ultra broadband Internet access
with data rates of 300Mbps in mobility to 1Gbps while
stationary.
 The data speed can make the device run about its purpose.

26. Android Operating System
 Android is a Linux-based operating for mobile devices such as smart
phones and tablet computers, developed by Google in conjunction
with the Open handset Alliance.
 Android is open source and Google releases the code under
the Apache License. This open source code and permissive licensing
allows the software to be freely modified and distributed by device
manufacturers, wireless carriers and enthusiast developers.

27. Augmented Reality
 Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a
physical, real-world environment.
 Real-world elements are augmented by generated sensory
input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

28. DESIGN PERSPECTIVE
Video Display:
 Its features with the small video display that is used to
display the pop up hands free information.

29. Camera:
 It has a front facing video camera with which photos and
videos can be taken in a glimpse.

30. Speaker:
 Google glasses are designed to be hands free wearable
device that can be used to make or receive calls too. So a
speaker is also designed by the ear.

31. Button:
 A single button on the side of the frame sophisticates the
glasses to work with the physical touch input. It can be used
in multi-purposeful ways and it acts according to the
context.

32. Microphone:
 A microphone is also put in, that can take the voice
commands of the wearer of user. This microphone is also
used for having telephonic communication.

33. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
Advantages:-

people.

34. Disadvantages:-
 Can be easily broken or damaged. Users will have a tough
time taking care of it.
 It may lead to accidents while driving, eyestrain or visual
confusion.
 The resource for running these glasses is still unknown. Will
there be a battery or it will run using solar energy?
 Privacy of people may breach with new glasses.
 Can be used only in metro cities.

35. Future Scope
Google Glass is as futuristic a gadget we’ve seen in
recent times. It’s limited in scope right now, but the
future, Google believes, is bright and the device itself
is “incredibly compelling”.
Google is trying their hardest to push the Project
Glass through the FCC this year. Reports show that
Google is trying to get the approval by the FCC this
year but there are already several hundred glasses
made for testing internally.

36. Future scope of Google Glasses

37. CONCLUSION
 Google glasses are basically wearable computers that use
the evolving familiar technologies that brings the
sophistication and ease of communication and information
access even for the physically challenged class of people
those literally could not use general way of palmtops and
mobiles.
