Introduction
 Project Glass is a research and development program
by Google to develop an augmented reality Head
Mounted Display (HMD).
 The intended purpose of Project Glass products would
be the hands-free displaying of information currently
available to most smart phones users, and allowing for
interaction with the Internet via natural language voice
commands.
Overview
 Google is expected to start selling eyeglasses that will
project information onto the lenses. These glasses can
use a 4G cell connection to pull in information from
Google’s mountain of databases and display info about
the real world in augmented reality on the lens in front of
the eye.
 The device will probably communicate with mobile
phones through Wi-Fi and display contents on the video
screen as well as respond to the voice commands of the
user.
Technologies Used
 Wearable computing
 Ambient Intelligence
 Smart clothing
 Eye Tap technology
 Smart Grid Technology
 4G Technology
 Android Technology
 Augmented Reality
Wearable Computing
 Worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing.
 Developed for general or special purpose information

technologies and media development.
Ambient Intelligence
 Electronic environments that are sensitive and
responsive to the presence of people.
 Devices work in concert to support people in carrying
out their everyday life activities.
 The technology disappears into our surroundings
until only the user interface remains perceivable by
users.
Smart Clothing
 It is a combination of new fabric technology and
digital technology.
 The clothing is made with new signal-transfer fabric
technology installed with digital devices.
Eye Tap Technology
 EyeTap is a device that is worn in front of
the eye that acts as a eye to record the scene
available to the eye as well as a display.
 EyeTap intakes the world around it and augments
the image the user sees allowing it to overlay
computer-generated data over top of the normal
world the user would perceive.
Smart Grid Technology
Smart grid is an electrical grid that uses information and
communications technologies to gather and act on
information about the behaviors of suppliers and
consumers, in an automated fashion.
It improves the efficiency, reliability, economics, and
sustainability of the production and distribution of
electricity.
4G Technology
4G is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile

communication standards.
This system provides mobile ultra broadband Internet

access with data rates of 300Mbps in mobility to
1Gbps while stationary.
The data speed can make the device run about its
purpose.
Android
Android is a Linux-based operating for mobile devices
such as smart phones and tablet computers, developed
by Google in conjunction with the Open handset
Alliance.
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a
physical, real-world environment.
Real-world elements are augmented by generated
sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS
data.
How it works? Design perspective
Video Display:
Its features with the small video display that is used to
display the pop up hands free information.
Camera:
It has a front facing video camera with which photos
and videos can be taken in a glimpse.
Speaker:
Google glasses are designed to be hands free wearable
device that can be used to make or receive calls too.
So a speaker is also designed by the ear.
Button:
A single button on the side of the frame sophisticates
the glasses to work with the physical touch input. It
can be used in multi-purposeful ways and it acts
according to the context.
Microphone:
A microphone is also put in, that can take the voice
commands of the wearer of user. This microphone is
also used for having telephonic communication.
Advantages
 Easy to wear and use.
 Sensitive and responsive to the presence of people.
 Fast access of maps, documents, videos, chats and
much more.
 A new trend for fashion lovers together being an
innovative technology.
 A spectacle based computer to reside directly on your
eyes rather than in your pouch or pocket.
 A useful technology for all kinds of
handicapped/disabled people.
Disadvantages
 Can be easily broken or damaged. Users will have a
tough time taking care of it.
 It may lead to accidents while driving.
 The resource for running these glasses is still
unknown. Will there be a battery or it will run using
solar energy?
 Privacy of people may breach with new glasses.
 Can be used only in metro cities.
Future Scope
o Google Glass is as futuristic a gadget we’ve seen in
recent times. It’s limited in scope right now, but the
future, Google believes, is bright and the device itself
is “incredibly compelling”.
o Google is trying their hardest to push the Project
Glass through the FCC this year. Reports show that
Google is trying to get the approval by the FCC this
year but there are already several hundred glasses
made for testing internally.
Conclusion
Google glasses are basically wearable computers that

use the evolving familiar technologies that brings the
sophistication and ease of communication and
information access even for the physically challenged
class of people those literally could not use general way
of palmtops and mobiles.
Thank you!
