ABSTRACT

GOOGLE GLASS

ABSTRACT:

Project Glass is a research and development program by Google to develop an augmented reality Head-Mounted Display (HMD). The intended purpose of Project Glass products would be the hands-free displaying of information currently available to most smart phone users, and allowing for interaction with the Internet via natural language voice commands. These glasses will have the combined features of virtual reality and augmented reality. Google glasses are basically wearable computers that will use the same Android software that powers Android smart phones and tablets.

Google Glass is as futuristic a gadget we’ve seen in recent times. A useful technology for all kinds of people including handicapped/disabled.

Keywords: Virtual and augmented reality, project glasses, eye tap, smart clothing, android, 4G

    Katherine Bourzac, in her article “A Smarter Prosthetic for the Eye” (2012), explains to readers that new prosthetics for the eye could reverse vision loss in some people with a simple implant. She supports this claim by explaining the technology and how it “combines infrared video-projection goggles with a small, wire-free chip implanted inside the retina” then by stating “[the implants] might restore more vision than other retinal prosthetics being worked on” (1). Bourzac’s purpose is to inform readers about the exciting upcoming technology for people with vision loss in order to show readers that there is a way to get vision back, showing the positive influences of retinal prosthetics on society. She adapts a informative and hopeful…

Also taking away the time that it takes to pull out your device and missing that important message, call, or even that special moment. Another is being disabled, imagine the things it can assist with; for example not being able to take pictures/record, or even answering a phone calls, but with Google glass it can aid with all of this by simply using voice recognition.

    Year after year, computer intelligence is becoming more advanced. These new technologies do all kinds of things some are or will helpful to everyday life some others I feel are just frivolous. How about the chip that allows a paralyzed person to use his or thoughts to do everyday things like send emails use wheelchairs and anything that can be controlled by computer. I think that the cars that can drive themselves is an alright idea especially it can detect a drunken driver or when you are incapable of driving safely. That technology is needed for those who do not know their dinking limit and still like to get behind the wheel after their well over it. This will save numerous lives for those who can afford these vehicles. As for the contact lens that can analyze people etc… at the blink of an eye isn’t so necessary. I feel that it will handicap us as a people we will no longer value our own knowledge which comes from reading, learning, interacting, and engaging in everyday activities to gain knowledge. Do we really need a lens that can give you an analysis of someone just by looking at them? Besides the analysis that you are given of a person is internet generated; which means you can believe everything you see about…
