When in April, Google announced Project Glass on Google+ everyone was awestruck. A project that Google has been working, secretly for the past two years.
Project Glass is not just a pair of internet-connected glasses, its more than that; for Google its the future and for us its a smartphone and computer all clubbed together in a pair of glasses. You might feel that Google has embedded a computer chip in your brain.
The best part is that your hands are free because you wear it on your face. Want to click pictures and share them on your social network, watch videos online, make a call, browse the Internet or check your emails; everything just through these glasses.

According to Google blogger Seth Weintraub, Project Glass will probably use a transparent LCD or AMOLED display to put information in front of your eyeballs. It's location-aware thanks to a camera and GPS, and you can scroll and click on information by tilting your head, something that is apparently quite easy to master. Google Glasses will also use voice input and output. If you are worried about the endless notifications that would keep on popping up on your screen, you can select what notifications you want to receive. The glasses are equipped with a camera, that provides people a entirely new way for sharing their most thrilling or boring moments.

Earlier this week at a Google I/O conference at the Moscone Center, Google provided more insight into the glasses through a live demo. A bunch of skydivers wearing the glasses jumped off a helicopter 7,000 feet above San Francisco, landed on the roof of the center. The people at the conference saw it all happening in front of them. Reality became more real. See it for your own self:
Google is selling the glasses for $1,500 to the developers who attended the conference in San Francisco. The glasses would start shipping early next year. If rumors are to be believed, these glasses would hit the market by 2014.
