Google reveals specs for Google Glass

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 16 Apr 2013 8:08 User comments (4)

Google has published the specifications for its Google Glass wearable device alongside the release of the Mirror API for Glass apps.

Glass features a 640 x 360 display which is the "equivalent of a 25-inch high definition screen from eight feet away."

The device also features a 5MP camera capable of up to 720p video and audio "that comes via a bone conduction transducer." Glass has 16GB internal storage, but only 12GB is available. Glass will be able to sync with Google Drive, as well.

Glass will 'fit any face' and include adjustable nose pads in two different sizes.

Google says Glass' battery will last up to "one full day of typical use," but video recording and other processor-intensive apps will lower that estimate. The headwear supports 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, connects to any Bluetooth phone and will support GPS and SMS through an app called "MyGlass" for Android.

There is a lot of hate for these glasses from naysayers, but I can't wait to get them myself. I've been waiting for years for some Futurama/Blade Runner style tech, and these are just what I've always wanted.

Do you like to smell your foot after you stick it up someone's ass?

Pretty cool, but anyone want to mention what the main use for this is for? It takes pictures, videos, and updates whatever information floats your boat....doesn't a smartphone do this already?

I know people want to be "always connected" to their devices, but good lord, take a friggen breather from your smartphone and go for a run you fat f**ks. Do you really need to be updated to the millisecond on what some other zombie posted on facebook?

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
