Google Glass is a wearable computer being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development. This project has a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass has an optical head-mounted display - more commonly known as OHMD - and it displays information in a hands free format just as in a smart phone that can efficiently communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.




What's so special about this Google Glass?

---

Even though head-worn display for the purpose of augmented reality is not at all a new idea, this Project Glass research and development has been drawing the attention of media since day one. The very first reason behind this is that it is being supported by Google and the second reason is its smaller, slimmer prototype design compared to all other previous head-mounted display designs.

What it has and how much it weighs?

---

The primary purpose of the Google Glass is to provide useful information to its wearer without the wearer having to spend extra time getting their mobile devices from their pockets and then obtaining the information. The Glass has a small screen to the top right side of the field of view of the wearer to display the desired information on. It also has a camera and a bone-conducting speaker. The very first Glass demo is like a pair of normal eyeglasses. While the normal eyeglasses have a lens; the Glass demo has a head-up display. The Glass prototype that came around August 2011 weighed 8 pounds - around 3,600 g. However, the current device is said to be much lighter than the average pair of sunglasses. New designs may be introduced in future which would allow the integration of the display into people's normal eyewear.

Google launches the Google GDK:

---

Google recently announced the release of their upcoming Glass Development Kit or simply, GDK. This new kit will allow the developers to compile and run the native Android apps on Glass. In fact, it will even enable them to start writing apps using the existing Android SDK. So everything you need is a Google Glass device for testing purposes because they don't have an emulator yet. Since many of the APIs have already been used in the currently available Android apps, developers will be able to easily find the tools and functions included within this latest upcoming kit.

Google Glass development India:

---

The scope for Google glass development India makes sure that the app development companies will get excellent opportunities to present the product in a relatively more convenient as well as profitable manner in front of its users. The demand for the Google Glass application developers is on rise today and this is the time when the apps development companies have to take an advantage of this for Google Glass development from India. The new app market is highly competitive and it would be the best strategy to produce a unique design with innovative and fun applications.

In order to create the applications that are compatible to the glass functionality and features; and gain reputation and revenue thereby, Google glass development from India has been putting the best of coding skills to build a new app that allows to gain the advantage of being an early mover to the fabulous device of Glass, much before the competitors actually start thinking on it.
