Google Glass is a type of
wearable technology with an Optical head-mounted display (OHMD). It was
developed by Google with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous
computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format.
Wearers communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.
Google Glass was developed by Google
X, the facility within Google devoted to technological advancements such as driverless
cars. Google Glass is smaller and
slimmer than previous head-mounted display designs. The Google Glass prototype
resembled standard eyeglasses with the lens replaced by a head-up display. In
mid-2011, Google engineered a prototype that weighed 8 pounds (3,600 g);
it is now lighter than the average pair of sunglasses. In April 2013, the
Explorer Edition was made available to Google I/O developers in the United
