Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display that is voice-controlled. It displays information like smartphone notifications in a hands-free format and allows users to interact with the internet via voice commands. Some key technologies used include augmented reality, which supplements real-world views with computer-generated information, and bone conduction, which transmits sound via bone vibrations. While promising for capabilities like accessing information and sharing perspectives, Google Glass also raises privacy and distraction concerns.
