Google recently unveiled their new Project Glasses on their Google+social networking platform on Wednesdayalong with a teaser on YouTube which is still under progress and being tested in the Google Labs. This spectacle is a revolutionary invention by Google to bring a new change in human’s ordinary life. It is basically said to be a hands-free computer. But after all, will it be a big hit or fail?

Google's Project Glass

So we concluded the following points categorized under Pros and Cons:

 Users were looking for a revolution and now they can experience it. By wearing Project Glasses users will enter in a new dimension of technology. This invention is already being used by the human’s so the Idea here is to give users the most comfortable resource.
Project glasses will act  as a hands-free computer, so you won’t need to break your country law while driving.

Fast access of maps, documents, videos, chats and much more.

A new trend for fashion lovers together being an innovative technology.

A spectacle based computer to reside directly on your eyes rather than in your pouch or pocket.

A useful technology for all kinds of handicapped/disabled people.

 Can be easily broken or damaged. Though Google wants these glasses to be as modest as achievable, they seem to be extremely breakable. Users will have a tough time taking care of it.

 These glasses show the retrieved data in front of users eyes so it will be a tough experience for them since they will focus on that data and will eventually miss the surroundings that may lead to accidents while driving.

 The resource for running these glasses is still unknown. Will there be a battery or it will run using solar energy?

 Users already wearing glasses won’t be able to wear this.

Now what do you think of it?
