GOOGLE GLASS using AUGMENTED REALITY:




Video games have been entertaining us for nearly 30 years, ever since PONG was introduced to arcades in the early 1970s. Computer  graphics have become much more sophisticated since then, and game graphics are pushing the barriers of photorealism. Now, researchers and engineers are pulling graphics out of your television screen or computer display and integrating them into real-world environments. 
This new technology, called Augmented Reality, blurs the line between what's real and what's computer-generated by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell.





Augmented reality (AR) is a live,copy,view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. 





It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer.

 I bet u would love this.....




As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
By contrast virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.



GOOGLE GLASS :

With Google Glass, you are able to view feeds, text, Google Maps, as well as navigate with GPS and take photos. You will also get the latest updates while you are on the ground.






It’s truly what we called vision, and it’s absolutely possible given the fact that the Google’s co-founder,Sergey Brin has demo'ed the glass with skydivers and creatives. Currently the device is only available to some developers with the price tag of $1500, but we can expect other tech companies trying it out and building an affordable consumer version.
