What is so futuristic and simplistic in Google glass’s function is that it takes away most of the hands-on activities one would normally do, and it also eliminates the need for a number of devices needed for different kinds of occasions. The Glass can simply take a picture with your command, it can live-record what one sees at the particular moment hands-free, and can also function as a real-live and real-time GPS navigation system.

In terms of communication, it records voice and converts it into a text message later to be sent; in addition to that it translates one’s voice into another language and also ‘googles’ whatever information one asks for. All with the use of the explorer’s voice command.

It’s design is set to be evolutionary – the technology of Google is fit in a computer supported lightweight and strong frame. It has all of the essentials needed: Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, a camera and a microphone, a touchpad and a gyroscope to detect head tilting. Last but not least, not only does it communicate with Android, but is also compatible with Apple iPhone mobiles.

Google Glass has been working on its fashion makeover and is seemingly working with the hipster company Warby Parker in order to achieve the sleek and most elegant glass design that would make people want to wear it.
