Google is planning to release the Google Goggles. These goggles, or thick framed glasses are practically wearable technology. These glasses are comprised of a computer which when worn will stream images and information across the lenses. They will be able to give related information to landmarks, restaurants, as well as virtual reality games, GPS systems, and in time facial recognition software. These glasses will also have audio and video inputs. The one drawback as it seems is streaming advertisements present within the lenses. This is obviously a huge leap in the world of technology and "smart" products, but if any company is to make this giant leap it would be Google. The difficulty in passing this technology is with peoples privacy, both in advertising and facial recognition. It will be difficult for the government to regulate what is being seen behind these glasses.
