Google’s Project Glass puts augmented reality into sight


Truth be told, consumers are always wary of new technology that is totally different than anything they’ve seen before.  When Apple introduced the iPad, many questioned the need for an extra device; its place in consumers’ lives was not obvious. Now the iPad is the top tablet in the market. It’s the same scenario with Google Project Glass.  Many wonder, why use Google Project Glass when you can just use your phone?
But the better question is: why not use Google Project Glass? For the most part, the augmented-reality glasses do what a person could do with a smartphone, such as look up information and socialize. But this  vedio also shows glimpses of an artificial-intelligence (AI) system working behind the scenes. It may be hard to envision the need for Google Project Glass now, but that's true with all new technology that increases our ability to acquire information.
