5. Technology used
• Wearable computing
• Ambient Intelligence
• Eye Tap technology
• 4G Technology
• Android Technology
• Augmented Reality

6. Wearable Computing
Worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing.
 Developed for general or special purpose information technologies
and media development.

7. Ambient Intelligence
 Electronic environments that are sensitive and
responsive to the presence of people.
 Devices work in concert to support people in
carrying out their everyday life activities.

8. Eye Tap Technology
o Device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a eye to
record the scene available to the eye.
o Intakes the world around it and augments the image the
user sees allowing it to overlay computer-generated data
over top of the normal world the user would perceive.

9. 4G Technology
 Asuccessor of the third generation (3G) standards.
 Provides mobile ultra broadband Internet access
with data rates of 300Mbps in mobility to 1Gbps
while stationary.
 The data speed can make the device run about its
purpose

10. Android
 Android being a Linux-based operating for mobile devices such
as smart phones, developed by Google in conjunction with the Open
handset Alliance.
 Android has a large community of developers writing applications ,
written primarily in a customized version of the Java programming
language.

11. Augmented Reality
• It is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world
environment.
• Real-world elements are augmented by generated sensory
input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

12. Features of Google glass
 Accept/Reject a call.
 Display the weather.
 Reading/Sending emails.
 Take a picture or video And share it.

13.  Travel Alerts ,Easy Sharing, Show reminders.
 Read/Send text messages.
 GPS tracking and Navigation

14.  Google Translate.
 Google Search & Finding Information.

15. How it Works ?
 The device will probably communicate with mobile phones through Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth .
 The video camera senses the environment and recognizes the objects and
people around.
 A visual layer is placed over reality via a prism, the layer is projected directly
onto the retina of our eye.

16.  Since focusing on objects at very close range is difficult for the eye, Google
beams images directly onto the retina at the back of your eye.
 The home screen of google glass is a simple overlay box that carries any
information and the ‘wallpaper’ .

17.  Google Glass doesn’t come with speakers. Instead, it comes with
‘bone-conducting’ headphones.
 The whole working of the Google glasses depends upon the user voice
commands itself.

18. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
 Easy to wear and use.
 Acts as a hands-free computer, so we
won’t need to break your country law
while driving.
 can text and see the map while we
are on our way.
 A new trend for fashion lovers
together being an innovative
technology.
 Useful technology for disabled /
handicapped people.
DISADVANTAGES
 Can be easily broken or damaged.
 Privacy of people may breach with
new glasses.
 Will there be a battery or it will run
using solar energy?
 users eyes will focus on that data and
will eventually miss the surroundings
that may lead to accidents while
driving.

19. Future scope
 Google Glass is limited in scope right now, but the future, Google
believes, is bright and the device itself is “incredibly compelling”.
 Google is trying their hardest to get the approval by the FCC this
year but there are already several hundred glasses made for testing
internally.

20. Conclusion
 Google says that Glass will make you feel smarter. “We’re talking
about a device that sees every thing you see and hears everything
you hear,” .
 In the next few months, Google will start shipping its smart
spectacles to developers. More-polished consumer models are
expected in 2014.
