The project points augmented reality Google was announced a few weeks ago. Initially, it was not clear, the concept is either a real device While the co-founder of the Internet Corporation Sergey Brin has not appeared in public in the prototype points. He also said that the gadget is at an early stage of development and does not have full functionality, which is shown in the promotional video.
Recently, Sebastien Tran, a professor at Stanford University and founder of the Laboratory of Google X, which develops an accessory codenamed «Project Glass», was invited to American television, to be exact - on the Charlie Rose show. That would be an ordinary interview, if Tran had not come to the shooting in augmented reality glasses.
Guest Rose made it clear that the project has already moved his laboratory from the concept stage to create a functioning prototype stage: the touch of a housing unit he did a photo and posted it on the web a couple of nods. Tran also said that the glasses today can be used for working with e-mails, thanks to the voice commands, however, have not demonstrated their application. Glass and can read the messages to the user, which, oddly enough, is not used telepathy, and a simple headset.

With Glass, for example, in his words, "other people can see what I see." The video shows that the glasses are sitting on the eyes and do not interfere with their owner to inspect the environment is not augmented reality, also got into the lens with respect to the massive power behind the ear Tran, which supposedly contains the battery.
When the offspring of Project Glass will be in retail sales - is unknown, but if the search giant will address a number of technical problems, such glasses can replace the usual smartphone us by becoming a device for everyday use.
