Technology nowadays is continuing to advance and with the near release of the new Google Glass, an important question arises  just how far has technology come? Speculation is continuing to grow over the rumors that the new Google Glass could be launched in the late 2013, with mixed reviews, comments and a high level of curiosity being given to this advanced piece of wearable technology that has taken the technology world by storm. Read on this article to discover more information about this cutting edge technology which has the potential of making the life a lot easier for its users.

So What Is Google Glass?

Google Glass is a wearable computer designed to imitate eye glasses, with a head mounted display (HMD) including a camera, a microphone and a tiny refractive screen which captures the wearers vision. Some of its main functions include taking photos and videos, conducting internet searches, sending messages and emails, translation, and navigation all with the use of simple voice or touch controls whilst on the go. The principle is actually quite simple, with the aim of attempting to steer away from hand held devices and desktop computers, placing information and data right in front of your eyes and allowing the wearer to access and conduct searches on the Web hands free. The screen itself has been designed cleverly enough so it’s not obstructing the wearers view, although, according to some trusted sources, Google is currently looking for collaboration partners in eye  wear industry to improve their specs, so follow closely twitter feeds of big eyewear companies like Luxottica and Google of course to be up-to-date about any developments.

Main Functions

Photo and Video

One of the main functions of the Google Glass is the ability to take photos or videos without having to fumble around in your handbag or pockets, often missing the chance of capturing a great moment. Google Glass allows its wears to take photos just by saying ‘OK Glass, take a photo’. This can really benefit many different people who will be able now to capture images and make videos of things and places around just as they see them.

Translation

Real time language translation is another great benefit of the Google Glass which will allow wearers to translate different work documents, sign posts and menus along with the theoretical ability to translate the spoken language, which will effectively eliminate language barriers when two wearers of the glasses are speaking to each other in different languages. This is truly compelling and one of the most exciting aspects for users that tend to travel a lot or do business abroad.

The Negative Aspects

Most of the negative comments and the main reasons for concern about the new Google Glass are related to privacy and copyrights. Not only will everyone around you be able to listen to every search or message you make, but also all captured information is going to be sent directly to a cloud and stored. Many are also concerned about the possibility of getting their Google Glasses hacked.

Will Google Glass be the technological breakthrough of 2013? Only time will show, as for right now, we just have to sit tight and wait till Google Glass is released to the mass market, which according to the official information will happen by the end of this year.
