Google HUD

For a few months now I've been having trouble finding stuff for this site. Most of the stuff I thought would be good to put up I found out was fake or didn't even exist yet. Today I finally found something that was good enough for this site. This is a prototype Google is working on called Google HUD. It's just a prototype, so I don't know if these will look different when it's finished or if it'll ever be released to the public. HUD stands for Heads Up Display. There are some buttons on the arms for different things. It might have it's own version of Android as an OS on the glasses. It won't be able to work with the Android phones. It'll be able to connect to the internet through bluetooth, wifi, or a phone's internet connection according to the site. It will have a camera for different apps or to take pictures. It has a microphone for voice input and output. To scroll and click on different websites and other lists it is said you will have to tilt your head. And it will only be able to display the screen in one eye.

Update: Google now says they will start selling these by the end of 2012.
