Google Glass : The EYE for the FUTURE.

1. SEMINAR ON “GOOGLE GLASS”

2. What is “Google Glass” ???
Google Glass (stylized simply as GLASS) is an augmented
reality wearable computer with a head-mounted display (HMD) that
is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and
development project.
 It takes a step further toward ubiquitous computing, which is the
idea that the Internet and computers will be accessible anywhere at
any time without having to use one's hands.
 Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like format
hands-free,can interact with the Internet via natural language voice
commands,and uses Google's Android operating system.
 While the frames do not currently have lenses fitted to them, Google
is considering partnering with sunglass retailers such as RayBan or Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow
customers to try on the device.

3. ARE YOU READY FOR IT ???

4. The “THING” Of 2013 and Beyond

5. The TEAM behind the MAGIC





Glass is being developed by Google X Lab, which has worked on
other futuristic technologies.
The project was announced on Google+ by Project Glass lead Babak
Parviz, an electrical engineer who has also worked on putting
displays into contact lenses.
Steve Lee, a project manager and "geolocation specialist"
and Sebastian Thrun, who developed Udacity as well as worked on
the self-driving car project.
Google has patented the design of Project Glass. Thad Starner is a
Technical/Lead Manager on the project.
Isabelle Olsson, Industrial Designer of the product, is responsible for
a number of the design decisions, such as the Glass color scheme.

6. The GODFATHER behind the Creation

7. The COOLEST Development Process
The first Glass demo resembles a pair of
normal eyeglasses where the lens is replaced by a head-up
display.
 A Glass prototype weighed 8 pounds; the device is now
lighter than the average pair of sunglasses. In the future,
new designs may allow integration of the display into
people's normal eyewear.
 Though head-worn displays for augmented reality are not
a new idea, the project has drawn media attention primarily
due to its backing by Google, as well as the prototype
design, which is smaller and slimmer than previous
designs for head-mounted displays.

8. After DEVELOPMENT what we GOT ?

9. The INSPIRATION behind the CONCEPT
 According
to string-theory advocates, our universe
has at least 10 dimensions.
 But we humans can only directly perceive three
spatial dimensions.
 We experience the passage of time, a fourth
dimension.
 Beyond that, we only know other dimensions are
even possible through theoretical mathematics.
 Our Universe may hold secrets that we will never
be able to observe directly.

10. So how Physics & Math connects with
Computer Science in this Concept ?
Even if you discount string theory and the idea of
dimensions beyond our perception, our world contains
a wealth of information that most of us aren't aware of
in our daily lives.
 When visiting a city for the first time, we may only
have our senses to rely upon when gathering
information.
 A smartphone or computer can help out, pulling in
more data about the city's geography, history,
economics, cuisine, culture and other features.


11. The Working of the GLASS !!!

13. The Magic of “Augmented Reality”
 It
is a software that overlays a level of digital
information on top of the physical world around us - have brought us more data.
 With
an augmented-reality app on your
smartphone, you might be able to hold your phone's
camera up to capture the image of a city street.
 Looking at the screen, you can see information
about your surroundings. The augmented reality app
maps digital information to your real-world
surroundings.

14. The Application of AR in GLASS !!!

15. The RESULT of Augmented Reality

16. The UNIQUE Features of Google Glass
Photography and video  Google Glass has the
ability to take photos and record 720p HD video. While
video is recording, a recording light is displayed above
the eye, which is unnoticeable to the wearer.
 Google applications Glass will utilize many
already-existing Google applications, such as Google
Now and Google Maps. The device will also be able to
display the weather.
 Voice commands Multiple features of Glass can be
seen in a product video released in February 2013.

17. The Voice COMMAND:- OK Glass

18. “Ok, Glass, Take a Picture”

19. “Ok, Glass, Record a Video”

20. “Ok, Glass say [text] in [language]."

21. “Ok, Glass, when does flight [flight
number] departure from [airport]?"

22. “Ok, Glass, give directions to [place]."

23. “Ok, Glass, how is the weather in [location]?"
“Ok, Glass, do I need an umbrella today?"

24. Syncing Glass with your ANDROID phone

25. The “GEEKY” Reception of the GLASS
In general, reception for Google Glass has been positive in
the technology industry.
 There have been parodies and criticisms aimed at the
general notion of augmented reality glasses, ranging from
the potential for Google to insert advertising (its main
source of revenue) to more dystopian outcomes.
 The eyewear's functionality and minimalist appearance
(aluminium strip with 2 nose pads) has been compared
to Steve Mann's EyeTap also known as "Glass" or "Digital
Eye Glass", although Google Glass is a "Generation-1
Glass" compared to EyeTap, which is a "Generation-4
Glass“.

27. The “EXPLORER” Program of the Glass




An early adopter program named the Glass Explorer program is
available for developers and consumers to test Google Glass, and it
will also gauge how people will want to use Glass.
Entry into the Glass Explorer program was made available to the
general public on February 20, 2013, and ended on February 27,
2013.
The program stated that it was looking for "bold, creative
individuals" who wanted to test the device. Those who wanted to
apply were required to post a message on Google+ or Twitter
consisting of 50 words or less, featuring the hashtag #ifihadglass.
The Explorer edition receives data through Wi-Fi, or it can tether via
Bluetooth to an Android device or iPhone and use its 3G or 4G data;
the Glass also has a GPS chip.

29. The “COLORFUL” variety !!!

30. The $1500 Futuristic Fashion Accessory

31. CONCLUSION
 In
November 2012, Glass received recognition
by Time Magazine as one of the "Best Inventions of
the Year 2012”.
 Google's answer to all handheld device problem
comes in the form of a wearable device.
 It looks like a pair of sunglasses with one side of the
frames thicker than the other.
 It's called Project Glass, and it might turn your
world into endless amounts of information.
