Hot products saturate technology right now, and many brands struggle to keep up. Google is not one of them – as it continues to innovate and redefine how people interact with technology.

A prime example lies in Google’s newest product, Google Glass – a wearable computer that essentially serves the same purpose as a laptop or smartphone, except it’s in the form of nifty eyeglasses. Users can take/share photos, speak text, access travel information, get directions, look up queries online and more. Gamers can even play Grand Theft Auto V on it via a recent hack (see how on TechCrunch)!

The social and societal effects of people running around wearing Google “glasses” is impossible to fully predict. Even Google creators are bound to be surprised as crafty end users find unforeseen applications for Google’s provocative new technology.

A few weeks ago, one of our fellow Press Kitcheners got the opportunity to try out Glass. Her take on the computerized specs is below:

Initial thoughts?

Though it was certainly a fun and new experience to try them on, I thought the functions were going to be more intuitive rather than voice and touch commanded.

What was your favorite thing about Glass?

My favorite thing about Google Glass was the fact that you can do a video chat with someone else and they are able to see what you are seeing in that exact moment.

What was the experience like when you were wearing Glass?

I felt a little removed from the actual situation I was in, as if I was a spectator peering in on what was actually going on around me. Also, having the view in my periphery wasn’t the most comfortable for my eyes to adjust to. I could see myself getting a headache from using them for an extended period of time.

How do you see Glass integrated into people’s everyday lives?

I think location scouts would be able to use this to show their creative team a location in great detail and in real-time in order to maximize their time out in the field scouting. I think for the average user, its current functionalities are still more recreational than functional.

Any potential issues you foresee?

Having the view in the user’s periphery is certainly distracting and could cause problems if the user is not paying attention to their walking, or even worse, driving.

You can take a peek at what Google glass looks like here – but fair warning, you’re going to want to try a pair on to quench your own personal curiosity for the new digitized frames. The product is scheduled to hit stores sometime in 2014, but Google is relatively secretive on the specific date and price.
