Google Project Glass

What is Google's Project Glass?

Google's Project Glass is Google's attempt to make wearable computing mainstream, and it's effectively a smart pair of glasses with an integrated heads-up display and a battery hidden inside the frame.

Wearable computing is not a new idea, but Google's enormous bank account and can-do attitude means that Project Glass could well be the first product to do significant numbers.

How does Project Glass work?

According to well-informed Google blogger Seth Weintraub, Google's Project Glass glasses will probably use a transparent LCD or AMOLED display to put information in front of your eyeballs. It's location-aware thanks to a camera and GPS, and you can scroll and click on information by tilting your head, something that is apparently quite easy to master. Google Glasses will also use voice input and output.

What are the Google Glass specifications?

he New York Times says that the glasses will run Android, will include a small screen in front of your eye and will have motion sensors, GPS and either 3G or 4G data connections. Weintraub says that the device is designed to be a stand-alone device rather than an Android phone peripheral: while Project Glass can connect to a smartphone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.0, "it communicates directly with the cloud". There is also a front-facing camera and a flash, although it's not a multi-megapixel monster, and the most recent prototype's screen isn't transparent.

What will I be able to do with Google Glasses?

According to Google's own video, you'll be a super-being with the ability to have tiny people talking to you in the corner of your eye, to find your way around using sat-nav, to know when the subway's closed, to take and share photographs and to learn the ukelele in a day.

OK, what will I really be able to do with Google Glass? Is Google Glass a vision of the future?

Nobody knows. The idea is to deliver augmented reality, with information that's directly relevant to your surroundings appearing in front of you whenever you need it. For example, your glasses might tell you where the nearest decent restaurant is, book your table, invite your friends and show you how to get there, or they might provide work-related information when you're at your desk.

What information we'll use it for, if we use it at all, remains to be seen: like Apple's Siri, it's a technology with enormous potential. It could even end up in contact lenses: one of the Project Glass team, Babak Parviz of the University of Washington, recently built a contact lens with embedded electronics.

Is Google Glass vapourware?

Google's got some of its very best people working on the project, and experts such as wearable computing specialist Michael Liebhold say that "In addition to having a superstar team of scientists who specialize in wearable, they also have the needed data elements, including Google Maps."

Not everyone is convinced. Wired spoke to Blair MacIntyre, director of the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech, who said "you could not do [augmented reality] with a display like this." MIT Media Lab researcher Pranav Mistry agreed, saying that "the small screen seen in the photos cannot give the experience the video is showing."

There are several engineering issues - making a screen that works in darkness and in bright sunlight is tough - and mobile display technology doesn't offer dynamic focusing, which reads your eye to deliver perfectly clear visuals. Current wearable displays have to be two feet away from your face.

There's clearly a big gap between Google's demo video and the actual product: Google says its photos "show what this technology could look like" and its video demonstrates "what it might enable you to do" [emphasis added by us].

What is the Project Glass price?

The NYT again: according to "several Google employees familiar with the project who asked not to be named," the glasses are expected "to cost around the price of current smartphones." So that's around £500, then, possibly with the help of a hefty Google subsidy.

Is Project Glass evil?

It could be. Google's business is about making money from advertising, and some people worry that Google Glass is its attempt to monetise your eyeballs by blasting you with ads whenever you look at something.

If you think pop-ups are annoying in a web browser, imagine them in front of your face. The ADmented Reality spoof is one of very many parodies that made us laugh.

Some of the parodies actually make a good point by showing people bumping into stuff: heads-up displays can be distracting, and there may be safety issues too. Until Google ships its self-driving car, the thought of drivers being distracted by their glasses is fairly terrifying.

There are privacy implications too. Never mind your web history: Google Glass might record everything you see and do.

Apple Mac OS x and Microsoft windows are two of the world’s most widely used desktop operating system. apples Mac OS x is more commonly knows as just simply OS x and is derived from BSD variant OS it is known being customised and developed by apple computers for their own line of the PCs often referred as Macs

Windows is developed by Microsoft for any PC including apple. Os x windows both have long line of release in their history. The x in OS stands for 10 signifying the 10 the major release of the Macs OS within the Mac OS line up there have been incremented sub versions named after felines

Windows began with 1.0 following the numeric system called as till,3.1,after that version NT,nt4 and windows 2000for the enterprise and windows 95 98 etc both lines merged again starting from desktop version windows xp followed by windows vista,7 and now the latest windows 8 has just been released

According to one source windows has a market share of 92.8% compared to Mac OS x is 5.3%

the software used by both these OS are

1. Web browser:- windows uses Internet explorer and apple uses safari

2. Scripting software used:-windows uses power shell and apple uses apple script

3. Media players used:-windows uses media player or media centre and apple uses iTunes or Quick Time player

Viruses:-

Windows large market share has made it a target for hackers creating virus and other malicious software. Some counts place the number windows/ms dos virus at over 50000.it is critical that windows user diligent run anti virus program and keep them up to date

Infection of Macs running OS x is extremely rare and there has never been a large scale infections of computers running Mac OS x it is said that Mac OS doest have even the firewall because the virus in Mac OS is rare

advantages o f apple

1) Security:-apple computers are much more secured then that of windows PCs viruses and malware designed for windows based will not run on Mac OS

2)reliability:-the people who make Mac software’s are the same persons who make Mac hardware while windows programmers have to take into mealy infinite variations in hardware these Mac OS are deigned to only for limited computer which is only designed by apple by this we can say that the system is much more stable the widows

3) Advanced tech:-The current generation of mack book has pro features like led monitors ,multi touch mouse track pads etc .Macs desktop features up to 8 core processor and up to 4 terabyte storage that’s up to 4000gbs

Disadvantages of Mac and advantages of windows Os

1) Macs cannot be upgraded that is customised:-there are upgraded options when we buy Macs but unlike windows we cannot mix and match the compo nets.try and upgrade Mac OS ,it’s better to buy and new Mac

Price:-Macs are very expensive . Even the very cheapest laptop cost you about 1400$ that is about 78000rs in India rupees but windows machine just cost you about 500$ that is 28000rs in India currency

2) playing games requires windows:-there are every few games available for Macs if you are a gamer the Mac is not a best choice for you, you can run it in Mac but you have to run windows

Android

Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google. Google financially backed the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., and later purchased it in 2005Google releases the Android code as open-source, under the Apache License. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is tasked with the maintenance and further development of Android has a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality of the devices. Developers write primarily in a customized version of Java. Apps can be downloaded from third-party sites or through online stores such as Google Play (formerly Android Market), the app store run by Google. In June 2012, there were more than 600,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated number of applications downloaded from Google Play was 20 billion.[

Android became the world’s leading Smartphone platform at the end of 2010.For the first quarter of 2012, Android had a 59% Smartphone market share worldwide.At the half of 2012, there were 400 million devices activated and 1 million activations per day. Android has been updated frequently since the original release of "Astro", with each fixing bugs and adding new features. Each version is named in alphabetical order, with 1.5 "Cupcake" being the first named after a dessert and every update since following this naming convention.

List of Android version names:

Cupcake

Donut

Éclair

Froyo

Gingerbread

Honeycomb

Ice Cream Sandwich

Jelly Bean

Applications are usually developed in the Java language using the Android Software Development Kit, but other development tools are available, including a Native Development Kit for applications or extensions in C or C+ Android applications run in a sandbox, an isolated area of the operating system that does not have access to the rest of the system's resources, unless access permissions are granted by the user when the application is installed. Before installing an application, the Play Store displays all required permissions. A game may need to enable vibration, for example, but should not need to read messages or access the phonebook. After reviewing these permissions, the user can decide whether to install the application.The sandboxing and permissions system weakens the impact of vulnerabilities and bugs in applications, but developer confusion and limited documentation has resulted in applications routinely requesting unnecessary permissions, reducing its effectiveness. The complexity of inter-application communication implies Android may have opportunities to run unauthorized code.

Several security firms have released antivirus software for Android devices, in particular, Lookout Mobile Security, AVG Technologies,Avast F-Secure, Kaspersky

Android smartphones have the ability to report the location of Wi-Fi access points, encountered as phone users move around, to build databases containing the physical locations of hundreds of millions of such access points. These databases form electronic maps to locate smartphones, allowing them to run apps like Foursquare, Latitude, Places, and to deliver location-based ads.

Third party monitoring software such as TaintDroid,an academic research-funded project, can, in some cases, detect when personal information is being sent from applications to remote servers.

In March 2012 it was revealed that Android Apps can copy photos without explicit user permission, Google responded they "originally designed the Android photos file system similar to those of other computing platforms like Windows and Mac OS. [...] we're taking another look at this and considering adding a permission for apps to access images. We've always had policies in place to remove any apps [on Google Play] that improperly access your data."
