Google’s Project Glass: Gimmick or great idea? - The Washington Post

Google unveiled the first peek at what it’s calling “Project Glass” on Wednesday, an augmented reality eyeglasses that keeps Google services on hand at all times. The glasses will have the capability to display messages, chats, appointments, weather and maps right in your field of vision, according to a video the company posted on Google+ Wednesday.

Google, it should be noted, is not the first company to come up with the idea of augmented reality glasses, but would have a perhaps unprecedented consumer reach.
