Google Smart-Glasses

What you are doing with your camera, for example, taking a picture of a celebrity and then checking on our database to see if we have a facial image match, you could do the same thing with a wearable visual device.

Google revealed that “Project Glass,” which takes all the functionality of a smartphone and places it into wearable eyeglasses, is something that a small team of their engineers have been working on for over two years now. The clear lens could display anything from text messages and reminders, to video charts and maps with turn-by-turn directions. They may also be capable of taking photos and recording videos; all through simple voice commands, according to the concept Google released earlier this year.

Google has picked eight-thousand people in the U.S. to wear its new internet-connected glasses called 'Google Glass'. Those chosen will have to pay $1,500 to try the smart glasses, and travel to New York, Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay area to pick them up.

The glasses respond to voice commands, and are equipped with a hidden camera and a tiny display screen  above the right eye. The device is expected to be widely available late this year or early next year.
