Future So Bright I Gotta Wear Glasses – Project Glass

This is obviously still in the concept stage, but Google’s Project Glass they announced a few days ago isn’t a late April Fool, it’s a real product, although still in development. The possibility and also viability of the technology behind this does feel like a jetpack moment – like we are living in the future…and people are quite cynical about not having hoverboards or hovercars but I was thinking recently that I have more power in my hand now than my desktop PC from a few years back – or my old Amiga, I’ve been playing with emulators on Android and yes it runs old Amiga games, PC Engine and even original Playstation games pretty much perfectly! So now we have people basically wallking around with powerful microcomputers in their pockets, why not make their interfaces a lot more wearable and usable day to day?

And even in concept stage this looks sexy and makes Apple look staid – because all of the work Google has been doing feeds into this – voice search with a massive database of different voices, the Augmented Reality work, the translation app (this would be ace to wander around and get a real-time translation of what’s in front of you!), Google Goggles, Star map, etc. It feels like a logical step.

Of course there are possible downsides to such technology, not only making everyone look like Joe 90 (unless you already wear glasses….MWAHAHAHA At last – Revenge Is Ours! :-P) but also the possibly distracting and less co-operative features of such technology: (via b3ta and Eve Massacre)
