Google Glasses

Google has finally taken the shades off and unveiled their 'Goggles' project.

The search giant is selling early models of its Google Glass augmented reality glasses this week for $1,500 to a select group of developers.

The glasses are designed to let users capture video with a built-in camera as well as use apps, the internet, and social networking sites on the move.

A small projector displays an image in front of the wearer's eyes while letting them stay aware on the outside world.

The idea is to bypass computers, tablets and smartphones entirely and keep the user connected in a (fairly) discreet way.
