Google has recently unveiled its latest project in development, Google Glass. Essentially a smart pair of glasses with a built in camera and projector (we’re not sure what oem camera they use, but we are sure it’s going to be amazing) to display visual notifications on a tiny prism screen that sits right above your line of sight. Allowing the user to see whats on display by glancing up. The glasses also include an embedded GPS, microphone, and uses bone induction to give you sound for a total interactive experience.

Their mission is to make wearable computing mainstream. But even with all its potential, there are still a lot of questions to be answered for this new technology. Some worry about potential accidents that can occur with a distracting heads up display. While others debate the issue of privacy as the thought of everything you say or do while wearing them could potentially be taped, turned into text and searchable. But with every new advanced technology there will also be ways to abuse it, we just have to weigh in its capacity for good and the progress it could bring.
