Google Glass

Google Glass is a wearable computer with a head-mounted display (HMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project,^[5] with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer.^[6] Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format,^[7] that can interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands.^[8][9] While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google is considering partnering with sunglass retailers such as Ray-Ban or Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow customers to try on the device.^[6] The Explorer Edition cannot be used by people who wear prescription glasses, but Google has confirmed that Glass will eventually work with frames and lenses that match the wearer's prescription; the glasses will be modular and therefore possibly attachable to normal prescription glasses.^[10]

Glass is being developed by Google X Lab,^[11] which has worked on other futuristic technologies such as driverless cars. The project was announced on Google+ by Project Glass lead Babak Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting displays into contact lenses; Steve Lee, a project manager and "geolocation specialist"; and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on the self-driving car project.^[12]Google has patented the design of Project Glass.^[13][14] Thad Starner, an AR expert, is a technical lead/manager on the project.^[15]
