It's the first virtual reality-style pair of glasses that look (almost) like normal glasses. Google Glass is extremely lightweight; it weighs less than a standard pair of sunglasses. There's definitely something geeky about them, thanks to the little module on one side, although thankfully it's no Virtual Boy. You can get them in five different colors, and for an extra cost, with more attractive frames ($225) or shades ($150), as well as a prescription-friendly version.
It projects a smartphone-like experience into your field of vision. You can see texts, email, queue up your music, follow map directions, check the weather, and more, all right in front of you. You can also respond to messages or call up features with voice-activated commands, and the augmented-reality interface can highlight things you see in real life and tell you more about them. It snaps 5-megapixel photos and records 720p video. In addition, you can share live video of what you are seeing with someone else, and even livestream events in high definition with the right app and extra hardware.
Google Glass itself is roughly a smartphone, in terms of hardware. There's a camera and a button on top for taking photos, a touch pad on the side, a plethora of gyroscopes and accelerometers, a compass, multiple radios, a micro USB charger port, several microphones, and a tiny bone-conducting speaker. There's no cellular radio. Inside, there's a TI OMAP 4430 processor, 1GB RAM, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and 16GB of internal storage, with about 12.5GB free for the user. The OS doesn't look like Android, but it is, and Google plans to push out Android 4.4 KitKat to it later this week. It lasts about a day on a single charge.
