Google Tests Wearable Computer
July 25,2013
The Internet giant Google is testing its newest gadget, Google Glass, which the company describes as a wearable computer that may revolutionize how we interact with each other and with the world.
Most of the Google Glass technology is already incorporated in smart phones. But Google researchers thought of using it in an unprecedented way.
"Google Glass is a tiny computer that sits in a lightweight frame, just like this, and rests neatly above your eye and it makes exploring and sharing the world around you a lot easier," explained Chris Dale, Senior Manager of Communications for Google Glass.
The frame has a tiny video screen and a camera that connect wirelessly to the Internet through a smartphone.
But what can you actually DO with Google Glass?
"That's the million-dollar question, I guess," Dale said.
Unsure about how Google Glass could or would be used, or how people would react to it, Google decided to enlist volunteers to test the new device. The goal was twofold -- see what innovative ways people would come up with to use it, and to attract developers to create new apps.
"We look at Glass and wearable computing in general as the next platform in computing," said Dale.
Dale says an average person uses a smartphone 150 times a day and Google Glass makes that technology available more quickly because it can respond to voice commands.
