Specs Appeal: Google X Lab Testing Virtual Reality Glasses

Thursday, February 9, 2012

The closely guarded secret Google X lab has been testing the idea of ‘wearable computing’, said to be computer glasses that superimpose information over reality.
The original assumption was that the ‘wearable computing’ device would be some sort of watch running on Android, until Google specialist Seth Weintraub stated otherwise.
Reporting on 9to5Google Weintraub said: “They are in late prototype stages of wearable glasses that look similar to thick-rimmed glasses that normal people wear…However, these provide a display with a heads up computer interface. There are a few buttons on the arms of the glasses, but otherwise, they could be mistaken for normal glasses.”
The technology is supposed to be an open secret but has now reached the masses. Google have supposedly employed MIT wearable computing specialist Richard DuVal, who sounds like just the bloke for the job after completing a PHD titled, The Memory Glasses.
All sounds pretty Mission Impossible if you ask us…Watch this space.
