Google Glass
Look out! You will soon be seeing people walking down the street wearing funny-looking eyeglasses, staring at the little eye piece and not paying attention to where they are going. The reason? Google has begun shipping its long-awaited new gadget — Google Glass.
The company just released the tech specs, which include one full day of battery life with normal usage — less, if you're using features like Hangouts and video recording that require more power. Google said you will be able to see the "equivalent of a 25-inch high-definition screen from 8 feet away".
The audio comes from a Bone Conduction Transducer system that transmits sound directly to your skull. The vibrations emanate from the structure, but the wearer should not notice.
There's 12MB of usable flash, and it's connected with Google Cloud. Google Glass automatically uploads location data along with video and photos to a Google+ Instant Upload album. It includes a 5-megapixel camera and takes video at 720p. It uses 802.11b/g wi-fi and comes with Bluetooth.
Taking a picture with Google Glass, the voice command is, "OK, Glass, take a picture."
