Google Glass Has Already Been Hacked By Jailbreakers

Media_httpbiforbesimg_evmdi

With a name like Glass, it was just asking to be cracked.

Just days after its release to developers, Google’s Glass headset has already been hacked to give users full control of its Android operating system, according to Jay Freeman, a well-known Android and iOS developer who tested a known exploit for Android on Glass yesterday and announced his success on Twitter Friday afternoon. The “root” or “jailbreak” technique Freeman found would potentially remove any restrictions Google might place on Glass, though it’s not yet clear exactly what those restrictions might be in consumer versions of the device...

You Won't Be Able To Wear Google Glass Until Next Year

Media_httpstatic1busi_ehauv

Google Glass won't be coming to the market this year after all.

We first saw the news on DVICE.

Even though Google has previously said it expects to release a fully-polished version of its computerized glasses by the end of the year, that no longer seems to be the case.

In an interview with BBC Radio 4, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said Glass will not be made available to the general public until sometime next year.

How Google Glass Works [Infographic]

Media_httpmedia02hong_pdgpz

During the writing of this post, Google Glass is being shipped out to Glass Explorers. But alas it is only to early adapters and developers who had forked out the hefty price tag and only a portion of those who signed for it is actually getting a unit.

For the rest of us, we will just have to wait until Glass is more commercially available but if you’re like me, you probably wondered how this wearable gadget actually works. Well this simple inforgraphic by Martin Missfeldt explains the technology behind Google Glass. How images are projected onto the ‘visual layer’, what does a view behind Glass look like and how bespectacled enthusiasts can also join in on the fun.

Google Glass Has a 5-Megapixel Camera, 720p Video, and Long Lasting Battery

Media_httpicdn6digita_ubfce

The first Explorer Editions of Google Glass, which eager developers had to shell out $1500 for during Google I/O last year, have started shipping and to coincide with this, Google has provided an official specification sheet for the high-tech glasses. Anyone expecting Glass’ features to rival top-end smartphones is going to be disappointed, as the camera has 5-megapixels and the video camera shoots at 720p. Wi-Fi and an unknown version of Bluetooth are both installed, along with a total of 16GB of memory, 12GB of which will be usable. This will also sync with Google cloud storage.

Production of the first Google Glass units is being completed and the units will be shipped out to members of the early-access Explorer program in batches, likely within the next few weeks. The news comes from an email sent out to Google's backers (below) saying that "we’re seeing the first few devices come off the production line right now."

Here Are Google Glass' Tech Specs

Media_httpimggawkeras_agmrb

Google just released the official specs for Google Glass (after releasing the API too) and the futuristic frames come with 16GB (only 12GB will be usable) Flash memory, 5 megapixel camera for stills, 720p video recording, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth and a battery that can handle "one full day of typical use".

Of course with a product like Google Glass, its specs won't tell us how much we'll actually use the, um, specs. Here are the nuts and bolts of Google Glass...

Watch Google Show Off 4 Glass Apps

Media_httprack3mshcdn_ygore

During SXSW last month, Google held a session entitled “Building New Experiences With Glass,” where it offered developers information about Glass’ Mirror API, and demonstrated some of the apps that are already in development for Glass, such as Gmail, Path, and Evernote.

On Thursday, Google posted a video from that event on YouTube in full, giving everyone the opportunity to learn a little more about Glass and, more importantly, allowing developers to discover what will go into coding for the high-tech spectacles.

Google Glass and the Future of Head-Mounted Displays

Media_httprack2mshcdn_cijbi

Google Glass is arguably the most exciting innovation in mobile technology since the iPhone — and not just because Google hyped it with a spectacular skydiving stunt. Certainly, the field of wearable technology has been around for decades (remember calculator watches?), but with the backing of a multibillion-dollar company and state-of-the-art wireless tech, Google looks to really take it to the next level.

There's a reason, however, that the device, which Google officially unveiled about a year ago, probably won't reach consumer hands until 2014: Creating a head-mounted display that's reliable, useful and not-ridiculous-looking is hard. Just ask Vuzix, which has been in the space since 1997.

Google Glass already has some apps, like Evernote and Path

Media_httpicdn6digita_arvkm

It’s no secret that Google Glass has tech enthusiasts from all around the world excited to try out a cool new toy. But the people at Google know that, while people may think the device is cool, they’re gonna need more incentive to drop some serious money (around $1,500) on something with limited functionality, compared to the things that can be done with a smartphone, which cost a fraction of that price, especially with a phone plan.

Google Glass to Hold Developer Events in Two Weeks

Google today invited the people who signed up for the $1,500 developer edition of its Project Glass wearable computing device to a set of developer events in San Francisco and New York City.

The company didn’t give a terrific amount of notice; the events are at the end of January and beginning of February, respectively. But developers will “have a device to use while on-site,” which is the real attraction.

The company said each Glass Foundry event will include “two days of full-on hacking” for people who have already signed up for the Glass Explorer Edition.

Microsoft Has Plans For Its Own Project Glass

Media_httpimggawkeras_nrdai

A patent application published yesterday reveals that Microsoft is sitting on plans for its own version of Google's Project Glass.

Unlike Google's glasses, which seem to be intended for general all-day wear—if you like that kind of thing—Microsoft's patent appears to describe more specific scenarios for use. Indeed, images in the patent depict how the glasses could be used to augment action at live events, like sports games.

The patent application suggests a pair of glasses would throw up text, images and audio on a head-up display—kind of a second screen, just one that's strapped to your face. That means instant replays at the football, subtitled lyrics at concerts, or instant stats when a player walks onto the pitch.

City Paintings by Courtney Johnson

Media_http1bpblogspot_idevg

Cliché-verre is a photo-painting hybrid process; the work begins as a painting on glass which is then scanned, enlarged, and printed photographically. The scenes depict luminous, beautiful, and ultimately fragile nighttime cityscapes that don’t disappear when the sun sets.

Google's Project Glass trackpad gets swaddled in patent protection

Media_httpwwwblogcdnc_bvmhe

Remember when Sergey Brin was on The Gavin Newsom Show showing off Project Glass' right-sided physical trackpad? Today, that element of the tech was given the official thumbs-up by the US patent and trademark office. Legally-trained minds in the audience concerned about the appearance forming prior art, take it easy -- the patent was filed five days before the Google chief took to basic cable to demonstrate his pet project to the current Lt. Governor of California.

35 Glistening Glass Structures - From Transparent Towers to See-Through Homes

Media_httpcdntrendhun_wffbe

Glass homes offer truly panoramic views, bringing what’s outside in and connecting people and their surroundings in a much closer way. Office towers are even adopting glass facades that are aesthetically pleasing and simultaneously calming. Transparent designs are popping up everywhere from furniture to partitioning walls; this allows a space to feel more open and breathable.

One advantage glass structures have is the unlimited natural lighting; architectural glass designs save people money when it comes to hydro bills, almost enabling an entire space to act as a green house and encourage the growth of flora. Privacy may be an issue, but a simple curtain will do the job. These glistening glass structures make man-made buildings look a little more natural.
