Google Begins Testing Augmented Reality Glasses

Google has started testing their super-secret augmented reality glasses, something they are calling Project Glass. These Star Trek-looking prototypes (below) are going to be out in public, being put through some initial paces.

Phone calls, contextual information like weather and transportation routes, capturing photos, calendar management, even video chat. It looks like a pretty cool view of the future. Obviously, the features outlined in the video probably aren’t written into the prototypes yet, but they give a great idea of what Google has planned for Project Glass. Someone should ask that guy’s friend why he doesn’t have a pair, though. Is it because the narrator looked like a weirdo walking around with shifty eyes, talking to himself?

Google also announced the project this morning on Google+, and you can go check it out. That strikes me as a very good way to ensure that almost no one hears about it.
