Eight thousand contest winners were selected by Google last week to test out the company’s new internet-connected mobile device known as Google Glass, which is worn like a pair of eyeglasses. Here are some of the features of the revolutionary wearable computer:
- Constant real-time video stream of whatever’s in front of you
- Little fan to keep your eye cool
- Location-sensing technology automatically calls nearest emergency personnel when distracted wearer is hit by car, train, bus, or cyclist
- Not removable
- Wearers can easily enter text using cheek-mounted keypad
- Grappling hook that shuttles glasses to safety any time wearer is imperiled
- Allows user to take easy, hands-free photos at any time by just screaming as loud as possible
- Sits far more comfortably on face than open laptop
- Also allows Google to look into you
