Google Glass made big
news last year when Google introduced the wearable computer at Google I/O
2012 in a stunt-filled , live-streaming
action sequence with BMX riders, skydivers, and wall repellers. From then on things
have been quiet regarding the quirky eye-wear
but today Babak Parviz, the main man who leads the Google Glass Project
conducted a small interview with IEEE Spectrum. In the interview Parviz let the
viewers know on both the progress and the future of Google Glass. Below are the
most notable tidbits from the interview:
The current goal for
Google Glass is not an Augmented Reality platform…but in time Parviz believes
augmented reality will become a large part of what Google Glass does.
Google is planning to
ship developer devices out to those who pre-ordered “early” in 2013.
The feature set for the
device is not set yet. It is still in flux…meaning, Google is not 100% sure
what they want the device to do.
Currently, Google has
no plans for advertising on the device.
Users can control the
device using a built-in touch pad, voice commands, or head gestures.
Parviz and team are
working on making it possible to accept phone calls on Google Glass.
They hope to have
battery life be sufficient for the whole day.
If you’re interested in
more than just a summary then you could google out more stories about Augmented
Reality Google Glass. Personally, I don’t see myself wearing something like
this on my face but maybe if Google makes the headset so feature-packed and
useful I’d reconsider. Maybe in ten years or so it’ll be a viable product.
Anyone think they’d actually wear these things?
