Google's Project Glass The first step towards augmented reality
What is augmented Reality
• Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, 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.
• Augmented reality is changing the way we view the world -- or at least the way its users see the world.

Google Glass
• Google Glass is a third eye off to the side, but what's coming is a generation of glasses whose information becomes immersed in your reality.
• The project is basically based on a pair of augmented reality glasses that seek to provide users real-time information right in front of their eyes
• With Glass, Google puts the Internet even closer than your fingertips-right at eye level and integrates information into the wearer's visual experience.

• Wearable device • Integration with
data, services• New business opportunities:
Mobile, BYOD, COIT• Another Mobile option? More than that…
How users interact ?
• Information on Google Glass is separated into items on a timeline. The timeline contains items or "cards" that display information to the user. Users navigate through their timeline by swiping backwards and forwards on Glass, revealing cards in the past and future.
• Each timeline card contains information pushed to Glass devices from various pieces of Glassware.
• Many timeline cards have additional interactions associated with them that are accessible with a single tap. You can define these menu items to allow users to execute actions such as deleting or sharing a card.

How developers interact?
• To interact with a user's timeline, you call the appropriate RESTful endpoint to carry out the action that you want to do. Google handles all of the necessary details of syncing between your Glassware and your users' Glass. Some common actions include:– Creating and managing timeline cards on a user's Glass– Subscribing to notifications from Glass to be notified of
user actions– Obtaining a user's location
