What is it?
Google Glass (styled "GLΛSS") is a wearable
computer with an optical head-mounted
display (OHMD) that is being developed by
Google in the Project Glass research and
development project, with a mission of
producing a mass-market ubiquitous
computer. Google Glass displays information in
a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can
communicate with the Internet via natural
language voice commands.

The Good
+ Great photos and video
+ Build quality is good, but fragile
+ Relatively easy to develop for
!
The Bad
- Battery life - won’t last full day
- Retail price?
- New marketplace

The Ugly
