Google Glass Project

Google Glass Project Glass: One day

Google glass project surprised me and triggered my interest. I heard about this project but never had a chance to sit and read or watch carefully regarding of the contents. From personal point of view, Google glass is a thin sleek eye wear with latest technologies. It is very similar to iPhone’s Siri. It has built in features such as weather report, GPS map, chatting, phone calls, video recording, watching news and so on. Technically, Google glass does all the things that a smart phone does except you do not need to take your phone out from the pockets or hold it in your hand. It’s GPS really comes in handy for person like me who have no sense of directions. I am glad to know that Google Glass GPS will help people to navigate through streets when they are on vacation with unfamiliar environment. I like the voice communication between the Google Glass and the person who wear it because under cold weather, users do not need to take off their gloves to touch the screens to go through the apps they needs and it comes in handy when your hands are full with something else. You can multitask and it is very convenience for users just to nod their heads or voice commands. On the cons side, the price for this technology will be expensive. It will also make you look like you are talking to yourself when you are in a crowd. It will also bother your partner at a dining table while you cannot fully appreciate your meals. Persons who wear glasses for their eyes corrections will have to switch either contact lens or lasiks in order to use Google glass. Since it is so thin and sleek, consumers will concern with durability. When consumers are driving, how safe will it make consumers have to keep their eyes on the roads as well as busy with Google glass small screens? These days, some states have no cellphone or texting while driving and I can see in the near future, no Google glass while driving might become a law. Technology is something which is sweet yet bitter. After all, it all depends on how consumers view and use it. We shall wait and see how consumers response to this latest technology.
