The Google Glass is capable of most tasks that a smartphone can provide, but with direct visual and audio feedback. Users can ask for directions, and the device will show step-by-step directions in their field of vision. This proves especially useful while driving, because users can keep their eyes on the road while getting directions. Tasks such as surfing the internet are facilitated through the touch surface on the side band of the Glass. The built-in camera will also be developed beyond just taking photos and videos, and will likely be used along with facial recognition software. Like it or not, this may fundamentally change the way in which we interact with people, especially strangers.
