How Google’s Project Glass Works:
Here are some things we might expect Project Glass to do once the technology matures:
- Remind you of appointments and calendar events
- Alert you to social networking activity or text messages
- Give turn-by-turn directions
- Alert you to travel options like public transportation
- Give you information like weather and traffic
- Take and share photos and video
- Use voice-recognition software to send messages or activate apps
- Perform Google searches
- Participate in video chats on Google Plus
- Overlay information on top of physical locations
That last category is a big one. Imagine looking at a building and seeing the names of the businesses inside it or glancing at a restaurant and being able to take a peek at the menu. With the right application, you could apply dozens of filters to provide different types of information.
