Introduction:
The Google’s
clandestine Google X Lab, a branch of the company that focuses on futuristic projects,
has released one of its concepts that might be going to change completely the
way people work, live and communicate [1]. Not far from the future shown in
movies like Star Wars, the Google Project Glass is just the flag of what is
coming about Artificial-intelligence Software.
The
Project:
The new
concept, called Google’s Project Glass, is an augmented-reality glasses that
seems to bring the web, location services and social media straight to your
eyeballs, with nothing in between [2]. In few words, it could be described as a
multimedia, networked, wearable computer and personal assistant technology [4].
How it works:
The Project Glass is operated by voice commands, what makes the connection between user’s and internet and multimedia facilities faster [3]. Other benefits would be the reduction of barriers between the web and the real world, as the user at a point of view could combine both images at the same second. The small screen on the glasses flashes information straight way above the right eye, allowing the user to set up meetings with friends, get directions, find a book in a store and even video-conference with friends [1].

New Paradigm:
The project
is based on a new paradigm. In the race for the better technology, when the market
focuses on internet connectivity speed (3G, 4G), numbers of point in the screen
(2 points, 5 points, multipoint), make the devices easy to handle, with or
without keyboard and even size of the screen, Google’s goggles are focused in Artificial-intelligence Connectivity,
communication without touch, wearable computers (hands-free), voice commands,
one eye screen projection integrated with what the user can see at the same
time.
Conclusion:
This
project has everything to achieve its goals in term of technology. Although
some people as rejection on the idea that everybody could have the same device
on top of their eyes, but, like or not it is coming and is going to change the
way the society connects with the internet. Its benefits, such as faster connection,
faster use of multimedia and faster way to make calls, will be enjoyable
explored by developers. And it is just the beginning of the
Artificial-intelligence Software presence in the society.
