Excerpted applications:

  • Manipulate objects in virtual space with your “real” hands… pulling, tugging, tapping and stretching
  • Creating a solid gamer and entertainment experience
  • A great training app/factory tool
  • Recognize the world in front of you and then overlay information atop of it
  • Play a game just by moving your eyes
  • A mature suite of apps can work with your calendar and make phone calls. A built in HD display camera takes and shares photos and videos.
  • Immersive/ultra-realistic entertainment experiences
  • Wearable headset aimed at the sports/active lifestyle enthusiast
  • Enterprise applications

 

 

 

Also, some excerpted applications from  Google Glass is Transforming Wearable Technology — from Daniel Burrus

  • Access information and a camera to capture activities in front of you
  • Use voice recognition to have it type messages or to send commands, like you do with Apple’s Siri or Google’s version of Siri, called Google Now
  • doctors are using Google Glass during surgery so they don’t have to take their eyes off of the operating table to view things like blood pressure, pulse, and temperature readings
  • Help train future surgeons
  • Google Glass would show not only the stores in your line of sight, but also overlay the types or names of products in each store
