Google Glass is packed with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, speakers, a camera, microphone, touchpad, and a gyroscope that detects head-tilts. Then there's the main piece, a tiny screen the size of your finger, that shows you all the information you need at your finger tips. 2. The built-in microphone combined with Google Now connects you directly to the search engine. You activate Google Now by saying "Okay Glass" then send a command or question. Tilting your head up does the same thing. 3. Google Glass users can now live in the moment, and keep that memory in pictures or videos. No more foraging around for a camera. "Take a Photo" and your view at the moment is captured, hands-free. Other than photos, you can do the same with 720p videos, which spells opportunities for extreme sports, real-life tutorials and more. 4. With Glass being able to record videos, it can also act as a webcam with the data connection from your home or smartphone. You can use Google Hangout for a group conference, and still do what you need to do without being confined to a desk. The powerful voice input feature also allows you to dictate text messages, attach videos and pictures alongwith and sending it via your mobile data connection, without having to remove your phone from your pocket. 5. Since it's built with a GPS chip, it'll be able to help you navigate, with help from Google Maps. It can give you turn by turn directions, easily leading you to your destination. Travellers, backpackers and even long distant cyclists won't have to stop and check on where they are. 6. It will also be able to understand other languages, translating them into your native tongue. 7. Google Now can warn you of bad traffic before leaving. 8. Police are beginning to wear google glass to record encounters while on the job. 9. Glass can pop up a reminder on your screen to remind you of an upcoming appointment. 10. Google is considering partnerships with sunglass retailers such as Ray-Ban or Warby Parker, and may also open retail stores to allow customers to try on the device. --ADDITIONAL FACTS-- 11. In November 2012, Glass received recognition by Time Magazine as one of the "Best Inventions of the Year 2012", alongside inventions such as the Curiosity Rover. John Naughton praised the Glass and compared it with the achievements of hardware and networking pioneer Douglas Engelbart. Naughton wrote that Engelbart believed that machines "should do what machines do best, thereby freeing up humans to do what they do best". 12. Concerns have also been raised on operating motor vehicles while wearing the device. In October 2013, a driver in California was ticketed for "driving with monitor visible to driver (Google Glass)" after being pulled over for speeding by a San Diego Police Department officer. While the judge noted that 'Google Glass fell under "the purview and intent" of the ban on driving with a monitor', the case was thrown out of court due to lack of proof the device was on at the time.
