Google Glass


Apple was yesterday and fighting to be in today. Samsung and his galaxies running the smartness all over the globe. But, this devices are losing their charm with time.
As said by Samsung, the next big thing is here..so what next??
It could be Google Glass, the weird-looking augmented reality-enabled spectacles that the company hopes to sell by the million once it hits the retail markets later this year.
If the Internet buzz is anything to go by, a brand new genre of gadget could be headed to your living room by year end. Google has already said it has finalised its design for the Google Glass.
Google Glass and its not just a glass.
The solution to attract people back to the technology is a wearable glass computer that augments reality as and when one needs it. At other times, well, it is supposed to be a cool looking glass.
Google will need to build an Apps ecosystem surrounding the capabilities of Google Glass for the device to succeed. But it is not hard to see that happen. Already, in its various demos, Google Glass has been shown to be pretty handy with regard to mapping and imaging solutions. Although it would be weird to be in a room full of Google Glass-wearing nerds talking to their glasses: “Glass, do this, etc.” But the answers to that will be known for sure by next year.
Features
1. CameraGoogle Glass has the ability to take photos and record 720p HD video. While video is recording, a recording light is displayed above the eye, which is unnoticeable to the wearer.
2. Navigation
Google Maps can be used by google glass and this device also displays the 

weather.
3. Voice Commands
Apple has siri, Samsung has S-Voice and so is Google Glass. It understands 
so many different voice commands that can help you save your typing and 
time.
