Pics/AFP The slim line gadget fits around the wearer&rsquo;s forehead, with a microphone and a small screen in the top right corner to transmit information. In a video posted by the US technology giant, they show off their high-tech plan, named Project Glass. Filmed from the perspective of someone wearing a pair of the &ldquo;augmented reality eyewear&rdquo;, the clip shows an alert pop-up when a friend sends a text asking the wearer if he wants to meet up later in the day. Waking to meet his pal using an in-built sat-nav, the user also stops to take a photo using just the command of his voice and video chats with a pretty girl. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/google1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 481px; " /> The glasses appear to run a variant of the Android operating system, using the same microphone icon and other recognisable parts of Google&#39;s mobile OS. A statement from Google&rsquo;s experimental lab said, &ldquo;A group of us started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment.&rdquo; Google have not revealed when the device will go on sale or how much it will cost, but reports suggested they could cost between &pound;160-&pound;320 (Rs 13,000-25,000).u00a0No release date has been confirmed for the glasses.
