Google Glass is a project to create a commercially-viable, next-generation wearable smart device in the form of a pair of glasses featuring a head-mounted display. The product allows users to interact with the device via voice and allows other smartphone-like functionality. Google Glass runs on Android with additional APIs for developers.

Google Glass is a research and development program by Google to develop an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD). Google Glass runs and displays information in smartphone-like format hands-free and interacts with the Internet via natural language voice commands. The prototype's functionality and minimalist appearance (aluminium strip with 2 nose pads) has been compared to Steve Mann's EyeTap. (from wikipedia)
