New Google Glass Video Gives Glimpse Of Future

Glasses come in all kinds of different styles. Different frames, different colors, different patterns and so on. But have you ever heard of glasses to take photos? Or take a movie? How about a search engine built into it? No you say? Well these are the glasses of the future. Google Glasses are the newest thing in eyewear. They are currently being developed to enable features to many wearers. Google Glasses are voice activated with the prompt “Ok, Glasses” and then say your command. For example, say I wanted to take a video while I was hang gliding. I would say “ Ok, Glass, take a movie” and it would start taping. The device is lightweight and it is made of flexible material. Google is currently selling these for about 1,500, the price a really good laptop or computer would cost but quite spendy for glasses. But after all, they are Google Glasses. (No quotes in article)


When I read this article, I thought it was a really cool invention. I think a lot of people have had the weird thought or wish that they could take photos with their eyes. Well now you almost can. The thing i would like most about Google Glasses is that you can use handsfree. Sometimes the best moments to capture are when your hands are full.I wouldn’t buy this product though because for one, I don’t wear glasses, and two, the price is way too much for me. I think it might get kind of awkward when you’re in a group of people and you’re taking picture with your glasses. Or what is people were videotaping you with them and you didn’t want to be but just couldn’t tell that it was happening? Sure, it’s a cool idea and all, but I don’t think I will buy something like this.
