Google's Augmented Reality Glasses
Augmented Reality is a popular buzzword technology for many smartphone applications to incorporate as a novelty. To achieve this, you point the camera at something and internal GPS and orientation sensors “know” what you’re looking at and overlay information about the subject onto the live picture. Many people play with those features, comment how neat it is and then never use it again. That may change if Google’s recently announced augmented reality research project launches. Unlike the smartphone approach, Google wants you to wear their glasses which render floating tips, maps and other information into a small window before your eye based on whatever you’re looking at.
