Google Glass: what you need to know

By Cary

What is it?
Google Glass is Google on your face. Nowadays, people use cellphone every day. Indeed, I can say many people can’t live without cellphone. Thanks to the Google Glass, we can wear the “cell phone” in front of our face, we can do anything we can do in the cellphone. You can take phone calls. They send texts, take photos and video, and show maps. They deliver search results. If you've played with Google Now, the Glass interface is strikingly similar.

 Google hopes that apps will make Glass, the company's Internet-connected glasses, more functional.

What does Google Glass actually do?
Google Glass cam take photos and videos, sends text messages, engages in Google Hangouts, makes phone calls, searches Google, and gets turn-by-turn navigation with Google maps. It can show the weather, the time, and headlines from The New York Times that have been pushed to the device, with spoken headline summaries. For now, anyway, that's about it. Some features require tethering -- GPS-based functions that use the phone, such as turn-by-turn directions. Others, like Google Hangouts and Google Search, can also be performed over Wi-Fi. When offline, Glass only takes photos and videos.

New Apps Arrive on Google Glass
Google Glass, the company’s Internet-connected glasses, will soon have seven new apps, including Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and Evernote.
Every cellphone need enough apps to support their function. Without interesting apps, the cellphone will lose its competitive strength. So as Google Glass. After being support by a huge amount of apps, the Google Glass will be accepted by more and more people. But so far, the price of the Google Glass still high, it is not easy to be accepted the populace. I also hope that the Google company can improve their manufacturing technology to reduce the cost of the product. Therefore, more people can effort it.
