When Google Glass was just a myth back in 2012, the technology world was filled with gossips that Google was researching some kind of augmented vision lens. As days passed, it became clear that Google indeed was researching a secret product what would make a million dreams come true. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty’s of what is Google Glass and what are its standalone effects on the world.

In simple words of Google technicians, Google Glass is an effort to free data from personal computers, phones, tablets and other portable devices and place them right in front of the eyes.





Fundamentally, Components of Google Glass Include:

• Built In Camera
• Display
• Touchpad
• Battery
• Microphone built into eye frame

This neat device can display a holographic screen in the field of vision of the user, which will allow the user to search, click photos, receive phone calls and translate while travelling.

Google Glass Options

With the help of display technology Google Glass puts data at the top right corner of the holographic prism screen that is display in the user’s field of vision. The menu is designed such that it can be seen without any obstruction. Google claims that “the screen is actually equal to a 25-inch HD screen seen from 8 ft. away”. Gossips have it that the screen resolution is 640x360 p.

Data transmission directly into your vision has its obvious plus points. Some of them are too obvious to be overlooked. Though there is no built in GPS with Google Glass, you can still pair it with your mobile device and get “in-vision” directions and direct translations. You can even access your email and messages and reply to them on the move.

The embedded camera is just outstanding; your field of vision is your view finder. This means that whatever you are seeing can exactly be captured without any hindrance. You will get the first person footage of whatever your eyes are witnessing.

With the microphone and touchpad neatly tucked in one side of them frame, the user can issue on screen instructions by just talking or making brief hand gestures. Google Glass also induces bone-induction technology to create sound.

Google Glass: Features

Not only does the Google Glass provides all the neat features from Google but also integrates other potential applications into the headset frame.  Some of the interesting features of Google Glass are as follows:

• Google Hangout App: This application allows you to do video conferencing on the move with your friends and sharing with them what you are looking at currently.
• GPS Integration from 3rd Party Devices: Even though the Google Glass lacks its own GPS App, you can connect it with you Pc, Tablet or Phone to get in-view directions directly to your prism screen.
• My Glass App: This application allows you to pair your Google Glass with your Android Devices so that you can access all on device features directly from your Glass. For example, Viewing Messages, Email Etc.
• Third Party Applications: There are some rather scary applications which can be integrated into your Google Glass like one app can actually help you identify your friends in a crowd and another application which will allow you to dictate emails directly to the Google Glass.
• The New York Times App: This application will transmit all news in the form of images, text etc., to your prism display.
• Flight Details: You can even view all your flight details like timings, departure etc.
