"Google Glasses"

Project glass (Google glasses) is a project by Google in an attempt to make an ‘augmented reality head mounted display’. The main purpose of this was to allow the hands free displaying of information, which would essentially be a step up from conventional smart phones. The glasses could be controlled by voice commands or buttons on the side of glasses, which is similar to the input required by a smart phone.

The headset.

These headsets will provide many of the features you can find in a smart phone, for example, web browsing, map features, appointment creation and alerts and even a camera with video capabilities. However, it offers all these in a package that is just a little bigger than a pair of glasses. 

The development of these glasses could provide numerous impacts, both negative and positive, on society the economy and our culture.
