I'll wait for Google Glass II (if it makes it that far)

The reviews are rolling in. For the most part, they’re not good. Google may have laid a major egg with Google Glass by building a device that has such a limited set of realistic uses that one might be better off taping a GoPro camera to their cap and wearing a quality Bluetooth headset connected to their smartphone instead. If you’re wanting a 1st-person perspective video for a roller coaster ride, Google Glass may come in handy. Then again, a GoPro would work just fine for that. If you want to be connected to online communication services all the time, Google Glass has you covered. Of course, you’ll…

How Google Glass works

How Google Glass works

Google Glass is the new head-mounted computer being released by Google later this year. The device uses a clever prism design to project an unobtrusive, translucent image over your vision. Users control Glass with voice commands similar to Apple’s Siri. By uttering the words “ok, glass…” followed by a command, users can order Glass to record videos with the built in camera, search Google for information, check the local weather, and much more. All this information is delivered to you through the amazing prism in front of your eye or through the headphone in your ear. You don’t have…

West Virginia lawmakers pushing to ban Google Glass while driving

West Virginia lawmakers pushing to ban Google Glass while driving

It’s a good thing that Google is building a driverless car because lawmakers are already sending shots across the bow to stop Google Glass from being used while driving. For a device that hasn’t even been released to the public yet, it’s certainly getting a lot of attention. The legislation, introduced in West Virginia by Republican Gary G. Howell, would add Google Glass to current laws regarding texting while driving. While some will argue that Google Glass will actually help prevent the more dangerous handheld device texting by allowing the driver to continue to look at the road and use voice…

Will Google Glass empower creeps and perverts?

Will Google Glass empower creeps and perverts?

Cell phones. GoPro. Spy cams. There are already a ton of different ways for creeps and perverts to take pictures and shoot videos of unknowing subjects for whatever nefarious reasons they have. Google Glass – this could be the technology they’ve needed to take it to another level. Hands-free perverts (at least while they’re spying). That’s one of the fears of some. It was highlighted inadvertently during a publicity stunt from a local bar in Seattle who announced that they were banning Google Glass entirely from use. Their reason – they’re a seedy bar whose patrons value their privacy and anonymity….

Google Glass will make dating easier. Or maybe not.

Google Glass will make dating easier. Or maybe not.

The world of dating is going to get easier – and more complicated – thanks to Google glass. It’s already so easy to find out about various topics or to learn about a person in particular just by using our smartphones, but when Google Glass arrives, it will make it easier to go covert with the date-impressing research. Okay, so it won’t. So the video below is satirical and you can’t really get away with being on a date in the middle of a political discussion while watching football. It doesn’t matter. The funny nature of this video should be taken at face value but the real implications of what Google Glass,…

Google’s Project Glass could change our views

Google’s Project Glass could change our views

Every time there is a new smart phone put on the market, millions of people flock to the release in hopes of getting their hands on one on that opening day. However, what if technology changed and the smart phones of the past moved forward to what Google is now testing called Project Glass? What if we can explore and share everything about our world and everyday lives without pressing buttons? Google’s Project Glass is taking technology out of your hands and is instead putting it right in your face. Well, not literally in your face, but right in your view. Here is what it looks like: Now, while this could…
