VIDEO: Google Unveil High-Tech Eye Glasses of the Future

Google has released details of its new hi-tech reality eye glasses in a brief introduction to what it calls Project Glass. The glasses will come in a minimalist design with a microphone and partly-transparent video screen that places information over the view from the users’ right eye. The glasses, which is called techno-glasses by some experts, will add information such as, emails, video chat, Google searches and GPS directions directly in front of a user’s eyes.

According to Google, ” A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.”

The glasses are a product of Google’s ‘Google X’ blue-sky ideas lab. However, there is no indication yet about when the device might go on sale or what it would cost. [Watch video below]
