Google's Project Glass AR tech goes public
Google's vision of the future will see you sporting augmented reality headgear that looks like something from a 1980s sci-fi movie, if the Project Glass concept photos unveiled today are anything to go by.
Project Glass aims to create augmented reality tech that integrates seamlessly with your life – in the form of a pair of retro-futuristic spectacles that provide an AR overlay controlled by small head movements. Okay, the specs above are concept kit, but they give an idea of what the Project Glass tech might look like.
You can check out the ultimate aims of Project Glass in the concept video below, in which a chap snaps photos of graffiti with his AR specs, and learns to play the ukulele to impress a girl. So, Google is aiming the first Google Glasses squarely at hipsters, then. Nice to see books still exist in the future – couldn't he just download the ukulele book to his glasses?

At this rate the next thing must be which company can come up with a human replicant. I doubt it will be Apple as they like things walled in. It's gonna be android and their replicants will start to fragment and misbehave ;)

Very shallow and sour sounding article/title before clicking onto this page. Had this been Apple, the title would have read: ''Apple changes everything, again!'' At least Stuff allows comments to go through freely unlike the dictatorship at T3 which proclaims anything you say is profanity.

It's a shame that the music just makes me think Kindle....it would be great if this was possible but how is he interacting with it? Must be a handset or something in his pocket maybe?
Ps there is nothing wrong with Kindle (i have one) just would have thought Google would have used a less well used and associated track...

Obviously they gave the glasses to a hipster first (note the poncey ukulele) just so he can say he is 'so over the whole google glasses thing' in 5 years time.
