For those who can’t be torn away from their smartphones, Google may have the answer.

They have invented a pair of internet-connected spectacles which will make your life flash before your eyes.

If you want to know the time, the temperature, talk to a friend or get directions to that café you read about in a magazine, it will all appear as if by magic in front of you.

In demonstrations, the glasses are mainly voice-controlled, using voice commands to bring up contacts, send emails and search

The glasses appear to run a variant of the Android operating system, using the same microphone icon and other recognisable parts of Google’s mobile OS

Called Google Goggles, they are not yet on sale, but a promotional video released by the company has shaken up the technology world and prompted claims they could revolutionise the way we live.

The wraparound glasses feature a miniature display that sits above one eye, allowing users to surf the internet, make video calls, listen to music and update the diary without lifting a finger.

The screen is controlled by voice and by tilting your head, so one catch may be a few funny looks in the street.

A prototype is being tweaked and tested in public by the company’s employees before it goes on sale. The technology is known as ‘wearable computing’ and is expected to launch a new generation of gadgets which display a layer of information over everything the wearer sees – bringing together the search engine, GPS tracking, a phone and a camera.

The service lets you locate nearby friends in a similar way to Google’s current Latitude service

In the video, entitled One Day, the wearer is given information instantly from buildings they are looking at, landmarks or friends in the area. The device is potentially a gift to advertisers as they could reach users in ever more personal situations, such as a restaurant, shop or relaxing on their sofa.

Applications featuring ‘virtual reality’ situations could be offered in future. This is the first glimpse of the glasses after months of speculation. Reports suggest the price will be comparable with the smartphone.

It is a coup for Google’s Android system which has in recent years been stung by the popularity of the Apple iPhone.

The glasses also allow users to record and share videos from a built-in camera, just like on YouTube

The police will be first in line for these glasses, they will have EVERYTHING you ever posted on the internet fed straight to their headset and most people will welcome this as a brilliant thing. All the information you have voluntarily submitted can and will be used as evidence against you in a court of law.

Systems have been around like that for over a decade- including one designed in the UK.

Interesting conpept, but wonders how much longer will it be before google is like Skynet (terminator) or are we heading for a matrix future

How many people will die on the roads because of sad idiots wearing these while driving? SatNavs and mobile phones have caused enough accidents, and now some fools have produced a gadget that actually blocks the view of “drivers” and not just distracting them!

WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?!

– James, Herts, 05/4/2012 15:31

Thought this would happen sooner or later. Next we will see brain implant chips so Google can really penetrate our minds and be the big brother entity they strive to be!
