Google Glass Case Study

1. Introduction oday, most competitive industries are seeking to improve performance through procurement and materials management. Benchmarking concentrates on improving performance through understanding of the existing processes and practices, and then proactively searches for getting industry leaders. Also, the search for the best processes or practices involves adaptation and implementation of these processes/practices to become "best in class." Three key words are process, implementation and continuous.(Excellence 2001) Usually, benchmarking defines as performance measurement followed by identification of best practices for improvement.(Alstete 2008) In brief, benchmarking is a process with an output, and input and the steps to move from
A Basic Overview of Google Glass Google Glass is a prototype with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD). Figure 1 show the Exterior form of Google Glass. It’s Looks like a pair of glasses, minus the lenses; it's just a band across your forehead, with a tiny screen mounted at the upper-right side. By tapping the earpiece and using spoken commands, you direct it to do smartphone-ish tasks, such as fielding a calendar alert and finding a nearby restaurant. Google is still trying to find uses of its product by Twitter and Google+ conversations for the general public to brainstorm. Figure 1 The Exterior form of Google Glass(Halstead et al. 2015)

Google Glass has grasped the attention of techies through the open beta program known as the Glass Explorer Program. Additionally, It’s has applied in many area like health care, education, law enforcement and tourism. Google Glass use reflective Display technique. The main features of Google Glass are shown inTable 1.

The most prominent two families are: “Curved Mirror” based and “Waveguide” based. Unfortunately, a curved mirror has several lacks one of them a form factor unfavorably affects the adoption of the product by the user. Above all things the adding cost and reducing image resolution. The light-guide or waveguide based is the second family of techniques that use in See-through video wearable displays. These present the most promising technologies for it since they reduce the cumbersome display optics and electronics in front of the user’s face and in the user’s line of sight. Using a waveguide, the physical display and electronics can be moved to the side (near the user’s temples) and a fully unobstructed view of the world can be achieved, therefore opening up the possibilities to true augmented reality experiences. These techniques include: diffraction, holographic, polarized, reflective and
