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.The frame has a tiny video screen and a camera that connect wirelessly to the Internet through a smartphone.

　　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 to see what innovative(创新的)ways people would come up with to use it.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.

　　The device is turned on by tapping one side of the frame.When you say “Okay Glass” the screen shows a range of options,including searching the web,taking a picture,taking a video,sending a message,and searching for directions.Sweeping the frame with a finger scrolls the menu up and down.

　　Google Glass transmits sound through vibration(震动) against the head.The projected image is like watching an iPhone screen.

　　While it’s interesting to be able to do Internet-related tasks with nothing in your hand,wearing the device in public attracts a lot of attention.They’ve done something very interesting with technology,but in terms of social interactions they’ve got a very long way ahead of them.The real test for Google Glass is going to be out on the street to see how average people are going to react when they’re forced to interact with somebody wearing Google Glass.
