Move over smartphones and mobile gadgets, the Google Project Glass concept may just be the next big thing to enter everyday lives. If it does sees the light of the day, users will not have to depend on their phones for things like reminders, navigation or even video conferencing, as this concept from the search giant appears capable of doing all this and much more.
The Google Project Glass concept has been shared by its developers through a page on Google+, along with a video that shows how it works and lists out the functions it is capable of carrying out. The key highlight of the device is the small form factor that resembles conventional specs, as opposed to heavy helmets. So users can rest assured that extended utilization of these glasses is not likely to take a toll on them from this angle.
“A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do,†states a post on the official Project Glass Google+ page.
According to the aforementioned video, this gadget can be used to set reminders and inform users about the weather conditions, transport status and directions to various places. Besides alerts for incoming texts, its voice recognition feature should allow for sending messages, checking in to locations, capturing images and sharing them with friends via social networking websites like Google+. It might also allow video conferencing on the move.
There is no word on when the Google Project Glass concept will be out in the market as a prototype at least.
