Google Glass Video 'Ok Glass'

Google Glass has been in the news after disappearing for sometime. Google Glass are augmented realty glass eye-wear from Google. It is to be worn like regular glasses with a huge difference however. These glasses can shoot video, take a pic, share to your social networks and even make calls. These are just a few of the possibilities of Google Glass. The latest video from Google shows at least two commands that that the Glass follows. 'Ok Glass' will tell Google Glass to get ready to take a pic or shoot a video. Saying Google will bring up search results on whatever you might be looking at, at the moment. Saying Ok Glass tells the device that the users wants to do something - maybe check the weather, get driving directions or launch a video chat hangout.

Video: Sergey Brin lets interviewer try on Google Glass which he hopes to launch sometime next year

Google's Project Glass was in the news a few days ago when Sergey Brin Google's co-founder was spotted wearing the AR glasses. Google Glass is in the news today again and this time because of a video where Sergey Brin actually lets an interviewer try on Google Glass. Gavin from The Gavin Newsroom Show gets a chance to try on the hi-fi piece of eye-wear and get a glimpse of the product the Sergey hopes will be out next year. There has been a lot of speculation with analysts saying it will be years before the glasses are available to the public. Sergey on the other hand says that he hopes to have it out sometime next year. This does sound a little bit fat-fetched. But hey, this is Google and they do have a reputation for getting things done on time and beating deadlines. This smartphone for the face does everything your phone can without you having to use your hands. It is like an 'Advanced Skunk Works project' he says and yes it is really out there. Check out the video below and see for yourself what Sergey Brin has to say about it.

Google unveiled to the world sometime in early April, their concept of augmented reality glasses, know as Project Glass. These far out there sci-fi glasses has the ability like none before to take video, check email, give you voice direction by connecting to maps and a host of other features. This futuristic piece of eye-wear also come with aesthetic sense and makes the wearer look good in addition to the feel good aspect of wearing eye-wear that can do a whole log of work for you. We have already written about these glasses and you can read about it here.


Google has now gone a step further and have released the first video shot entirely using Google Glasses. The video has someone from the Google team doing backflips on a trampoline. The video is shot in 720p and has decent quality. In addition to shooting video, Google Glasses can set your day up for you and can do almost anything a SmartPhone can. Google was the first to announce these AR Glasses (Augmented Reality) since then there are other companies who have also said they are working on AR Glasses themselves. So Google is not alone but are the only ones who seem to be making steady progress. There is no clue as to when these glasses would actually be available as it is still in the prototype stage. It could be sometime before their smartphone for the face is actually available for people to use.

Google Glasses: Augmented Reality Glasses from Google

If you look at the pictures of the glasses in this post the first question people are asking on the internet is will you wear them. The glasses however are not built for style but more as a utility. It is one of Google's ambitious projects to make technology work for you when you want and then get it out of the way when you don't. So if you see someone with these glasses on you know they are from Google and testing their new sci-fi glasses. 


How do the Google Glasses work.
For one it is always connected to the internet and integrates with various kinds of services. The UI shows the person in the video below going about his daily business and able to view the weather outside, receive and make voice and video calls, check-in to places and find directions to places. He is able to do all this will simply voice commands and auto-suggestions that seem to pop-up at exactly the right places. Couple of analysts have said the glasses will have 3G and 4G capability to make all this possible


Google reveled these glasses to the world in a Google+ post removing the veil of speculation that had been hanging over their pet project. The whole concept seems so futuristic that is difficult to even imagine these eye-wear products being available in the market for a very long time. The reason why these Googlers shared this project is because they want to start a conversation and get feedback. They need not wait too long for feedback as news of these amazing glasses has spread all across the internet and is all over the news. One point that most users are talking about is that: will ads pop-up? So what do you think about these glasses and would you wear em?
