If you've ever envied the augmented reality vision featured in films like Terminator and Mission Impossible this might be just your thing.
Imagine seeing all the relevant information you need, not by looking at a device, but looking at the world around you. This is Google's vision of how augmented reality might work in a few years' time. The internet giant officially revealed what it's calling Project Glass, a see-through heads-up display that offers information triggered by the wearer's location or voice.
Google has unveiled augmented reality glasses that display a layer of information over everything the wearer sees through them.
The company's first venture into wearable computing, dubbed Project Glass, was demonstrated in a video and post written on Google+.
In the promotional video, titled One Day, a man sends messages to his friends, gets directions for his route and a built-in camera takes pictures along the way.
The post says: "A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment.
"We're sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input."
The post also contains some photos of people wearing the new eyewear.
The glasses are wrap-around and feature a small clear display that sits above one eye.
They are not on sale yet but Google employees will be testing prototypes in public.
