Project Glass, Fantasy or Reality?

Google has just introduced the Project Glass, a smart glasses with a variety of functions. In the video, it appears capable of sophisticated Project Glass. But there are doubts about the function of the Project Glass is fantastic.

The Google video, the glasses could be governed simply by the sound. Project Glass able to make video calls, send messages, to know the weather and the location to show the way. The device is based on augmented reality technology.

Google founders, Sergey Brin recently spotted wearing the goggles so many people believe its release to the consumer a matter of time. Media New York Times said the release of Project Glass may be the end of this year.

But some experts doubt that existing technologies in video eyewear that it can be realized. "In a simple fake video, Google created a level where the hardware is too much they may not be able to reach it," said Blair MacIntyre, director of the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech.

"The small screen is visible in the photo the sunglasses can not give experience like that shown in the video," said Pranav Mistry, a researcher at the MIT Media Lab who quoted from Computerworld, Monday (04/09/2012).

He stated that although Google is able to overcome technical obstacles, such glasses still take at least two more years to be used en masse. Another challenge is to create a transparent screen to view the content in comfort and on the other hand remains able to see the environment as well.

Google itself does not explain in detail the technology behind Project Glass. "We're not ready to provide additional information at this time," Google said.
