A Video demo of Google's Glass (Google Goggles) has just been released.
It gives a good sense as to how the glasses work and pretty spectacularly. The headset doesn't actually have a screen in front but rather a small screen in the top right and with very excellent functionality - as you can see.
Photo taking, video making, looking up answers on Google, sharing on social, weather, email and so on, is all here but interestingly, we didn't know about voice command. By saying, "OK Glass" it activates the menu hands-free and gets the glasses listening for commands. Now that is, cool.
Google have also launched a competition to get a view as to how the Glasses can be used creatively. Ideas should go to Twitter at hashtag, ifihadglass.
Here too is the Glass website http://www.google.com/glass/start/
Pretty exceptional the whole idea, which I think anyway and it's being brilliantly executed step-by-step.
It's going to be the "next big thing", no doubt. A potential replacement for the smartphone.
