Google Unveils its new Augmented Reality Glasses!



Now we have got a new glass in which all things go alive giving a  view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. We can see the things which are not moving or are not in motion .This type of technology is known as augmented reality.So lets check out what these glasses can make use of such technology!



Google finally unveiled "Project Glass," its long-awaited concept project which fuses smartphone technology with eyeglasses. In a post shared on Google+, employees in the company laboratory known as Google X, including Babak Parviz, Steve Lee and Sebastian Thrun, asked people to tell the opinion about the prototype of Project Glass.Google isn’t the only one putting itself out there in the augmented-reality optics world. The Israeli-based company Lumus has created personal display, which it calls “completely natural-looking, see through eye-wear" that "provides a new dimension for the human visual experience.” They're a bit clunkier compared to the design concept seen in Google’s Project Glass.
The concept video for the Glass project concentrates on the cool things you may do with it one day- create instant contact with friends, monitor feeds about weather and other info, get information about a subway station out of service, receive turn by turn directions on the way to a destination, snap a picture by command, even find your way to a certain tome in the labyrinthine Strand bookstore. The video has more than enough information to open up a conversation about the potential effects of having the digital world unbound from the confines of a hand-held gadget and more or less integrated into everyday reality.These type of glasses are helpful in health issues by analyzing tear fluids and then the information is sent wirelessly for medical analysis.
                
Now scientists are trying to make the glasses into contact lenses, specialized in bio-nanotechnology, which is the fusion of tiny technologies and biology. Most recently they have built a tiny contact lens that has embedded electronics and can display pixels to a person’s eye.So wait for the new gadget to come to stores which would help you in getting every information you need.
