Google Glass

Google Glass is a revolutionary new initiative by Google, which seeks to alter the entire landscape of hands-free digital display quite dramatically, as well as, wearable technology. In fact, this initiative has crossed into the grey area of technological innovation, and has raised a number of questions regarding the path such innovations are taking from an ethical point of view. However, it also can be that one big idea that is going to have a profound impact on the way the hands-free displays are going to evolve in the future. Users of this device can control it through voice commands, and they can do so for a wide variety of activities ranging from getting information from their phones and even internet to participating in chats on Google+ Hangouts. This device provides a lot and that too in an extremely non-intrusive way to its users.

Features

Google Glass device can be an excellent choice for making use of all the modern technologies that people have grown to depend upon. They can capture pictures and record videos using its in-built camera, which points to the way people are probably going to take pictures, and videos in the future. Moreover, it provides access to Google Maps, as well as, turn-by-turn navigation, which can be an ideal feature in the device that practically integrates itself with the sight of the users. Moreover, the Google Search feature can be excellent for education because it opens the entire repository of online information to the users of this wearable technology.
Google Glass can also keep its users updated regarding the current weather and time, as well as, providing other useful information such as the headlines of popular newspapers. The way that all these information appear on screen of this device makes it possible for users to view them with utmost convenience. The fact that people can watch videos and read content appearing on the screen built into an eyewear gives this technology an edge over others.

Pros

One of the most obvious advantages of the Google Glass device is that it provides an entirely new definition to the concept of wearable, hands-free display. Some of the features such as GPS with option for turn-by-turn navigation take a surreal turn because of their viewing on a screen built into a device looking like an eyewear. Users can receive all the information from their phones in an extremely comfortable hands-free mode. Finally, the slick and comfortable design gives an aesthetic edge to this future technology.

Cons

Google Glass is still extremely expensive and a niche product at best. Moreover, modest performance of the 5-MP camera under low light conditions, coupled with limited number of apps gives it only a limited appeal among many.
