ABSTRACT
“An Investigation into the Development of Google Glass”
Google has engineered an eye wear device, Google Glass, that allow users to experience augmented reality through a mini computer and optical display mounted to the product. Glass is intended to reinvent the way people see the world by delivering virtual images to users, as well as providing access to applications similar to a smartphone. This report investigates the potential of Glass and the product differentiation among other hands-free computer alternatives. Through scholarly publications and popular technology news (including documents by product testers and developers), the devices hardware components, software features, and comparisons with other computer devices have been assessed.
