Google Glass is coming

Google Glass is fast approaching with selected early adopters already being used to test the augmented reality  wearable computer. A retail ready option may be ready as soon as this year.

Google Glass promises to change how users conduct their day-to-day activities, this is perhaps best shown in the How it feels section of their site which shows individuals taking videos, pictures, using Google Search, skyping, translating, chatting and using Google Maps seamlessly in their lives. 

If Google Glass can work as fluidly as their teaser video suggests, then its potential is limitless. Of course, whether this actually happens is a big if. 

Person-to-device issues arise across multiple platforms. Look no further than iphone's Siri which often has problems with accents and tones.     

"Unless Google has made a quantum leap in voice recognition, I hope [it] is going to provide a back-up way to control their glasses," Cass said. "Via an Android phone for example, because otherwise people are going to run into problems ...  if they have a bad network connection — or even just a strong accent." - Stephen Cass
