Google Project Glass - Concept Video

April 5 2012, 12:11am

Google gives a sneak peak at its Project Glass plans; glasses which present visual information in front of your eyes, such as the temperature outside, time, and even messages from friends. The video shows how they envision we'll do many of the tasks we currently do on our phone, in the future. The hope is that by having this information projected where we'd be looking anyway, we won't have to be looking down at our phones all the time and missing out on experiences.

There's even some things in the video I wish our phones currently did, like auto-detecting when your at one of your favorite locations and prompting you if you'd like to check-in. That said, there's lots in the video that we haven't quite gotten right yet, even with the likes of Siri, that could obviously be magnified be having it into our line of sight such as annoying notifications and bad voice-to-text. I digress though, in the video demonstration, it looks pretty damn cool.
