Abstract

Project Glass is a research and development program

by Google to develop an augmented reality Head-
Mounted Display (HMD). The intended purpose of
Project Glass products would be the hands-free
displaying of information currently available to most
smartphone users, and allowing for interaction with
the Internet via natural language voice commands.
These glasses will have the combined features of
virtual reality and augmented reality. Google glasses
are basically wearable computers that will use the
same Android software that powers Android
smartphones and tablets.
Introduction
Have you read about the Google Glass project and
wondered what kind of apps you can build or design on
Glass? This seminar is designed to introduce
developers and designers (and everyone else) to the
Google Glass interface, the Google Mirror API, and the
functionalities and limitations of both. Google is
encouraging an ecosystem of developers and designers
to build the apps that could make Glass the next
iPhone. Glass is part of the evolution from desktop to
mobile to wearable technology, includingwatches,
bracelets, and other eyewear. While it is still early and
Glass is only released to several thousand
“Explorers,”designers and developers may eventually
consider it essential to understand the fundamentals of
development and design for Google Glass.

What is Google Glass?

• It’s a glass with a Smart Phone in it.
• It’s brings the internet world and real world together.
• It has a micro phone, camera and a screen
Technologies used:
Wearable computing
Wearable computers, also known as body-borne
computers are miniature electronic devices that are
worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing.
This class of wearable technology has been developed
for general or special purpose information
technologies and media development.
Wearable computers are especially useful for
applications that require more complex computational
support than just hardware codedlogics.One of the
main features of a wearable computer is consistency.
There is a constant interaction between the computer
and user, i.e. there is no need to turn the device on or
off.
Another feature is the ability to multi-task. It is not
necessary to stop what you are doing to use the
device; it is augmented into all other actions. These
device scan be incorporated by the user to act like a
prosthetic. It can therefore be an extension of the
user’s mind and/or body.
Ambient Intelligence
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic
environments that are sensitive and responsive to the
presence of people. Ambient intelligence is a vision on
the future of consumer electronics,
telecommunications and computing.
In an ambient intelligence world, devices work in
concert to support people in carrying out their
everyday life activities, tasks and rituals in easy, natural
way using information and intelligence that is hidden in
the network connecting these devices.
As these devices grow smaller, more connected and
more integrated in tour environment, the technology
disappears into our surroundings until only the user
interface remains perceivable by users.

Smart clothing
Smart clothing is the next generation of apparel. It is a
combination of new fabric technology and digital
technology, which means that the clothing is made
with new signal-transfer fabric technology installed
with digital devices.
Since this smart clothing is still under development,
many problems have occurred due to the absence of
the standardization of technology.
Therefore, the efficiency of technology development
can be strengthened through industrial
standardization. This study consists of three phases.
The first phase is selecting standardization factors to
propose a standardization road map. The second phase
is to research and collect related test evaluation
methods of smart clothing.
For this, we selected two categories, which are clothing
and electricity/electron properties. The third phase is
establishing a standardization road map for smart
clothing.
In this study, test evaluations have not yet been
conducted and proved. However, this study shows how
to approach standardization. We expect that it will be
valuable for developing smart clothing technology and
standardization in the future.

Eye Tap
An Eye Tap is a device that is worn in front of the eye
that acts as a camera to record the scene available to
the eye as well as a display to superimpose a
computer-generate imagery on the original scene
available to the eye. This structure allows the user's
eye to operate as both a monitor and a camera as the
Eye Tap intakes the world around it and augments the
image the user sees allowing it to overlay computer-
generated data over top of the normal world the user
would perceive.
The Eye Tap is a hard technology to categorize under
the three main headers for wearable computing
(Constancy, Augmentation, and Mediation) for while it
is in theory a constancy technology in nature it also has
the ability to augment and mediate the reality the user
perceives.

Smart Grid Technology

A smart grid is an electrical grid that uses information
and communications technology together and act on
information, such as information about the behaviour’s
of suppliers and consumers, in an automated fashion
to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and
sustainability of the production and distribution of
electricity.

4G Technology
4G is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile
communications standers. It is a successor of the third
generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides
mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to
laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones,
and to other mobile devices.
Android Operating System Android is a Linux- based
operating system for mobile devices such as smart
phones and tablet computers, developed by Google in
conjunction with the Open Handset Alliance.

Android is open source and Google releases the code

under the Apache License. This open source code and
permissive licensing allows the software to be freely
modified and distributed by device manufacturers,
wireless carriers and enthusiast developers.
Additionally, Android has a large community of
developers writing applications ("apps") that extend
the functionality of devices, written primarily in a
customized version of the Java programming language.
In October 2012, there were approximately 700,000
apps available for Android, and the estimated number
of applications downloaded from Google Play,
Android's primary app store, was 25 billion.

How does it Works?

Design:
Video Display:
Its features with the small video display that is used to
display the pop up hands free information.
Camera:
It also has the front facing video camera with which
photos and videos can be taken in a glimpse.
Speaker:
Google glasses are designed to be hands free wearable
device that can be used to make or receive calls too. So
a speaker is also designed by the ear.
Button:
A single button on the side of the frame sophisticates
the glasses to work with the physical touch input.
Microphone:
A microphone is also put in, that can take the voice
commands of the wearer of user. This microphone is
also used for having telephonic communication.
The device will probably communicate with mobile
phones through Wi-Fi and display contents on the
video screen as well as respond to the voice commands
of the user. Google put together a short video
demonstrating the features and apps of Google
glasses. It mainly concentrates on the social
networking, navigation and communication.
The video camera senses the environment and
recognizes the objects and people around. The whole
working of the Google glasses depends upon the user
voice commands itself.
Benefits:
 Easy to wear and use.
 Sensitive and responsive to the presence of people.
 Fast access of maps, documents, videos, chats and
much more.
 A new trend for fashion lovers together being an
innovative technology.
 A spectacle based computer to reside directly on
your eyes rather than in your pouch or pocket.
 A useful technology for all kinds of handicapped/
disabled people.

Advantage’s Of Google glass:

1. The first and the foremost advantage of Google
Glasses is that it offers convenience. Users can easily
send messages without using their hands.

2. Google Glass will show you text messages as well as

emails you receive and allow you to reply to them via
voice commands.

3. Multiple options are made available which allows

the user to use either voice commands or small hand
gestures for operating this amazing device.
4. Another main advantage of Google Glasses is that
you can capture those amazing moments of your life in
a very simple and easy way. The video and camera
capabilities that offered are hi-class.

5.This user friendliness and freedom is one of the USPs

of this project.

6. This is a neat feature that may come in handy when

you travel abroad. You simply need to ask Google Glass
to translate a phrase or sentence from one language to
another and it will speak that out.

7. The sound creation takes place with the help of

vibrations which is considered as less abrasive as
compared to headphones. This is also called as Bone-
Induction concept. The clarity of the sound is also
pretty good as compared to normal headphones or
speakers.

Disadvantages of Google Glasses

1. Google Glass cannot be used by those people who
already having some issue with their eyes and wears
glasses in their daily routine.

2. You cannot use these Google Glass while driving, as

the picture, video or data will be in front of the eyes of
the user, which can distract them.

3. Google Glass can be easily broken as it is a sensitive

device, after all it’s a glass not a bullet proof glass.

4. The face recognition technology can be easily

misused and it might turn out to be offensive for that
person.

5. One of the main disadvantages of Google Glasses is

that there is chance of breach in the privacy of the
person who is using this device. The video and camera
can be misused and anybody can capture anything
without letting the other person know about it.
6. Common glass are even not wearable while Running,
Dancing or similar activities. So would you expect that
you can wear these sensitive glasses.

7. Google glasses that are of consumers concerns are

the cost of the glasses, the track pad, social
interactions, privacy and recording issues, and more.

Google Glass Design Principles:

Here are the key guidelines for designing a good
Google Glass experience. Straight from Timothy
Jordan, Senior Developer Advocate at Google.
1. Design for Glass and it’s unique interface
2. Don’t get in the way or be intrusive (no intermodal
dialogues)
3. Keep it timely. Glass is a “right now” device.
4. Avoid the unexpected. Don’t surprise the users with
unexpected communications or time cards.

Future Scope:
 Google Glass is as futuristic a gadget we’ve seen in
recent times. It’s limited in scope right now, but the
future, Google believes, is br ight and the device itself
is
“incredibly compelling”.
 Google is trying their hardest to push the Project
Glass through the FCC this year. Reports show that
Google is trying to get the approval by the FCC this
year but there are already several hundred glasses
made for testing internally.

Conclusion:
Although there are many barriers and problems Google
still needs to work through before finalizing the
consumer version of Glass, the potential benefits make
Glass a project worth perusing.
It is Lee’s expectations “expectation that in three to
five years it will actually look unusual and awkward
when we view someone holding an object in their hand
and looking down at it.
Wearable computing will become the norm” (Levy,
2012). With all the wonderfully accessible features and
endless potential for applications, it just might catch
on.
