Google to Sell Heads-Up Display Glasses by Year’s End


Google to Sell Heads-Up Display Glasses by Year's End

Google is currently making a pair of glasses that will be able to stream information to the wearer's eyes in real time. According to several Google employees familiar with the project, the glasses will go on sale to the public by the end of the year....

I have put together a Google Glasses playlist on YouTube (see below).
-Tell me in your comments which video is your favorite and why.
-What do you think the best feature of the glasses are, and how would you use them?

  1. My personal favorite part is when the person wearing the glasses is able to merely look outside and tell what the temperature and weather was like. While the other uses may be useful the idea of walking around with a camera that sees everything that I see is a bit disconcerting, but it would be useful if you needed to show somebody how to do something since they had would have a direct first person view.

  5. These Google glasses are cool. I would defiantly buy them, but the look and style of the glasses are ugly they should have a pair you can customize. These glasses would be awesome if you could play games thorough the screen. I would try to buy these immoderately if they had games for them.

  7. I think these new glasses are very dangerous. For me, I'm very clumsy and if people around the world are clumsy as I am then, we are all going to be running into people, things, and getting hit my buses and cars. But overall, the glasses are cute...not cute enough to get messes up over.

  9. I think that these Google glasses are kinda cool. Streaming information to your eyes would be cool. They are mostly like a smartphones, but you don't have to keep checking your phone to see what the weather is like; things of that nature. I'm not sure if I would be the one to buy them though. But I think they would sell good. (:

  10. I think the glasses are great. The idea of having glasses that you can use as a computer or phone is ingenius. My favorite part about the glasses is that it's hands-free and you can control them with eye movements. I also like that you can locate where anyone is, check the weather, and take pictures off of them. I wouldn't even use my iPhone if I had these glasses. I would use them as if I was using my phone. It's basically like an iPhone on your face. They're amazing and I hope to own a pair someday.

  11. I think these glasses are a really great invention. It will really help with work and other things, this product will be really good for people who need help. I think it is really cool that you can video chat with these. I also think it is really neat that you speak what you want to say to someone instead of typing it. It is also neat from when you look outside you can see what the weather is going to be for that day is an excellent idea.

  15. I like the part were the person found out that the sub way was closed and had to find another way and it found a another way to find a subway. Another think i like about these glasses is that it is hand free and it can do just about any thing you can do on a computer except you can't carry a computer around like you do glasses.

  16. i think the project glasses are cool because its pretty much like a lab top but you can wear it and you can also see through them but i also do think this world needs to cut the slack on the technology devices because in year you will not be able to go to school without having a technology device and adventley we not have text books no more because it will all be on the internet

  17. I think being able to have glasses that you can get on the internet with and ect. is amazing. The project glasses are really cool. Project glasses would be easier to use because you can check the weather,take pictures,Video calls, and more. My opinion on the glasses are that they would be very popular and I would LOVE to have some of the glasses. The main thing that I think is cool about the glasses is that you can talk to them and it does what you say. For example, If you need to make a call you can just say 'call Josh' and it would start calling.I think the glasses are a good idea and would become very successful. The glasses are not the best looking but I would just like to have them because of the things they can do.

  22. I think Google Goggles is a great idea. I've always wanted electronic glasses. I think it will be very helpful, also looks like the next step in technology. I think the goggles should also be customizable. It would help them sell better.

  24. I think this is a great invention. I love the part where the subway service was down and the glasses made a new walking route. These glasses are great for all kinds of things. I also like the part where you can video chat with someone while you have them on. They remind me of a smart phone or a computer because of all the things you can do with it,, like navigation, taking pictures, sharing with your circles, etc.

  25. The Battlefield 5 video was very cool. If I had a pair of theses glasses, that would be my main use for them. Also, it's very convenient to carry around a GPS, weather update, and Google account on your face.

  26. I like the skydiving video because they were able to take the videos while skydiving. I would probably you them to play games in class but they can help with taking pictures more easily and checking your email.

  27. I'm not really fond of the look, but the Google Heads Up glasses are a really innovative idea. They're something different and it's really cool how with them, you can have information streamed right in front of your eyes. They're so neat because I've watched shows before that would have people that had glasses similar to that and it's cool that these kind of glasses may become a reality.

  28. I think that these glasses are pretty amazing. My favorite part on the first video was when the guy was in the book store and he said he needed to know where his friend was and it told him exactly how many feet away his friend was. My favorite video overall was the one with the guy playing Battlefield. I think one of the best features of the glasses is the fact that it can pretty much do a lot of the things an iphone does, but everything is hands free. If I had the glasses I would probably use them to take pictures and I would definitely be using them to play video games like the guy playing Battlefield did.

  40. In my opinion i think that it is pretty cool how far technology has come and how you can check the weather and play games on the glasses.If they can do this they can do all sorts of things.

  41. My favorite video was the one where the guy wakes up and just goes though his day. This was my favorite because it really does a good job at showing many of the capabilities of the glasses. I think the best feature of the glasses would be the GPS. It is more than just a GPS like the ones on an iPhone. It lets you share your location and it lets you see exactly how far away a friend is. It tells you if a route is unavailable and automatically finds you another one. It shows you where the different sections of a store are. I would use the GPS for all of these different features. This is really a great invention.

  42. I think the project glasses are cool, but also dangerous in a way.They cool because its like you can do thinks that your phone,computer,or ipad can do. It can give you directions to find thinks and places.Then it can be dangerous because while watch your glasses you can bump into somebody and then if you walking across a road and not paying attention where you going you can get hit, but i think their are cool to wear.

  43. I personally think that this is a fantastic idea. It would be very useful when your hands are full. Also it would allow you to multitask and complete more tasks. There are a few set backs. These glasses could easily distract a person in every day life and bump into people. These are minor set backs and are all relative to the responsibility of the person. If these glasses were affordable the average person I might purchase it.

  44. I think the google glasses are really amazing. I don't like the look but they could be very helpful. I personally like how you can chat people without using your hands. I also like how it tells you the temperature and the type of weather. These glasses are so helpful that people probably won't care about the looks. If I had these glasses I would use them for directions.

  46. I think the glasses are pretty cool. But, the only bad thing is that if people are walking around with them on, they could run into somebody or something and get hurt. I think it's cool how it'd be Android powered because I have an Android phone and it's great. It's just like a phone but in the shape of glasses. And it just proves how advanced technology is getting.

  55. I think the glasses are a cool idea. They are something I would like to have. The glasses could also be a bad idea because people would be walking down the street looking at something on the glasses and not pay attention to what they are doing or what is going on around them.

  58. I think that the glasses are neat, but they seem to somewhat copy the touch phones. I don`t think that many people will have them because of their similar functions. Wearing them alot would be weird because they tell you about your location and you might fall down by not paying attention to where you are going.

  59. I really like this glasses idea from Google. It would be so neat to have a pair of them. The neatest thing about them is that you can talk to them without having to type anything. Plus, you can take screenshots! Although, I think that they should have a more cool stylish look.

  60. I think the glasses are better than phones because you can and text people by talking you don't have got to use your hands for nothing except clean the lenses when they foggy and stuff but besides that your hands can stay in your pocket or wherever they at.

  61. These new glasses are better than phones. These glasses allow you to search locations and even add new ones. They can also tell you if certain routes are closed and offer you a new one. They allow you to call people and with a video chat included. These glasses can cause some changes in the world for everybody. Those who have a job where they have to use their hands a lot no longer have grab their phone. They can just answer the incoming call on the glasses and continue work as they talk. These glasses are amazing.
