The Google I/O keynote conference highlighted Google Glass
which is ideally a wearable computer in the form of spectacles. This is a cross
between a mobile computer and eyeglasses which is capable of recording videos
and browsing the internet. It features a camera, display, touch-pad, battery
and a microphone all stuffed up in spectacles. See the image below.

The test version of Google Glass looks like a clear pair of
eyeglasses with a hefty slab along the right side. It is in this slab where all
the computing takes place. The gadget is capable of showing tiny light blinks
to let you know when it is recording.
Good still, it has the ability to translate words being spoken
to you into your own language on the display although this will obviously need
a hefty data plan especially if you’re in a different country. Third party
developers are also coming up with cool apps for the gadget with one that lets
you identify your friends in crowded places and another that lets you dictate
an email already out. Hoping more greater apps come up in the future.
