Technicational

Some weeks ago I was given the opportunity to see the Google Glass up close and in person. For those who don’t know what the Google Glass is I’ll enlighten you by giving a quick overview of what this new wearable tech that maybe sweep the world soon.

The Google Glass is a glasses that have more Tech in it than most low end Smartphone’s on the market right now. This wearable tech comprises of a high resolution display that is equivalent to a 25 inch high definition screen being viewed from eight feet away. A built-in 5 megapixel camera capable of video recording 720p clips. It also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity and 12 GB of usable memory with the ability to be synced with Google cloud storage. There is also The My Glass companion app that requires Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher to function. This app enables GPS and SMS messaging on any Bluetooth capable Smartphone that meets that meets the app requirement. 

Currently Google Glass is only available in the United States for $1,500.00 US plus tax, which is kind of steep for most people. The reason behind this extraordinary price tag is due to its exclusivity and availability only from Google themselves.

First Hand Experience

I have to say that the Google Glass is light weight and fits comfortably on the face. The display area that is provided in your field of view is clear, but takes a bit of time to get use to. Voice commands are very effective and there is no need to shout the commands like a flaming lunatic.

Final Thought

I can’t wait to see the Google Glass go public at a reduced price… A very reduced price. Also I have to say thanks to JJ Geewax who is the co-founder of JGX Labs for offering a demonstration of his Google Glass.
