Google Is Planning Pricey Glasses With An Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display, May Sell Them By Year’s End

Via Scoop.it – Pervasive Entertainment Times

The glasses, which are supposedly under development at Google’s not-so-secret Google X lab, would cost about as much as a smartphone, so they likely won’t be for the light wallet. That being said, if they work as advertised, they could still sell plenty. The glasses would use the heads-up display to overlay the wearer’s world with information, from descriptions of surrounding buildings to showing you where your friends are nearby via Latitude.
The glasses would be Android powered, which means that they would likely be able to make use of the Intents system, so you can count on integration with your other Android devices. Moreover, the glasses would have their own navigation system. Currently Google employees are testing a system of head tilts to scroll and click. We’ll reserve judgment for how well this works in practice, but we’re excited.
