Last week, Google showed off the first video taken with its ''Project Glass'' techno-glasses - hi-tech specs that ''layer'' computer information over the world, The Daily Mail reports.
The glasses also have a camera built into the arm, and the glasses are starting to be seen increasingly outside the Google offices, with co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin both wearing the techno-specs at public events.
According to the report, the wraparound glasses feature a miniature display that sits above one eye, allowing users to surf the internet, make video calls, listen to music and update the diary without lifting a finger.
The screen is controlled by voice and by tilting your head, the report said.
The technology is known as ‘wearable computing’ and is expected to launch a new generation of gadgets, which display a layer of information over everything the wearer sees, bringing together the search engine, GPS tracking, a phone and a camera.
