Google Glass, Project Glass

FF Post :- 3

          Google has published a new, more extensive FAQ on Google Glass, the technology behind it, future plans, and perhaps most pertinently, the ever-growing security concerns. There are nine questions and answers listed under a section named Glass Security & Privacy, with several concentrating on the spec’s camera and video functionality.














                Other interesting details revealed in the FAQ include confirmation of the eight Glassware partners – Path, Evernote, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, The New York Times, Elle, and CNN – plus the fact advertising is still banned from Glass. Google says it’s still working on frames for Glass which can accept prescription lenses, and that the current lensless frames weigh just over 40 grams.



          It’s truly what we called vision, and it’s absolutely possible given the fact that the Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin has demo’ed the glass with skydivers and creatives. Currently the device is only available to some developers with the price tag of $1500, but expect other tech companies trying it out and building an affordable consumer version.

          Finally, Google will be inviting more Explorers to try Glass later in 2013, while it promises, “Even broader availability next year.”
