GOOGLE GLASS Abstract

Project Glass is a research and development program by Google to develop an augmented reality HeadMounted Display (HMD). The intended purpose o Project Glass products !ould be the hands- ree displaying o in ormation currently available to most "martphone users# and allo!ing or interaction !ith the $nternet via natural language voice commands. These glasses !ill have the combined eatures o virtual reality and augmented reality. Google glasses are basically !earable computers that !ill use the same %ndroid so t!are that po!ers %ndroid smart phones and tablets.Google Glass is as uturistic a gadget !e&ve seen in recent times. % use ul technology or all 'inds o people including handicapped(disabled.)irtual reality is a term that applies to computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical presence in places in the real !orld# as !ell as in imaginary !orlds. %ugmented reality is a live# direct or indirect# vie! o a physical# real-!orld environment !hose elements are augmented by generated sensory input such as sound# video# graphics or GP" data. $t is related to a more general concept called mediated reality# in !hich a vie! o reality is modi ied (possibly even diminished rather than augmented)# by a computer. %s a result# the technology unctions by enhancing one&s current perception o reality. *y contrast# virtual reality replaces the real !orld !ith a simulated one. %ugmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic conte+t !ith environmental elements Project Glass is a research and development program by Google to develop an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD). $t is part o the Google , -ab# !hich !or's on other uturistic technologies.
