Technology Unleashed

A YouTube video uploaded by the company shows Google Glass in action - including the interface which appears in the wearer's line of sight.

The search giant has also opened up the trial of the product to "creative individuals" and developers.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin was recently spotted on New York's subway testing the device.
The product was first unveiled as part of a demonstration at a Google launch event last year where developers were offered early access to the device for $1,500.

The company is now inviting people in the US to use the hashtag #ifihadglass to suggest ways they would make use of the headset. "We're looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass," Google said.

'OK , Glass '

The demo video showed how Glass can be used to take pictures and record video, as well as share content directly via email or social networks.

Voice commands such as "OK, Glass, take a picture" were used to control the device. Other features appeared to include Skype-like video chats, and other related information such as weather reports and map directions. All of this information appeared in a small, translucent square in the top right of the wearer's field of vision.

The display is considerably less intrusive than previously published concept videos.Wearable technology is seen as a major growth area for hardware makers in 2013 and beyond.

In 2008, Apple patented a laser based "head mounted display system" that it suggested could stream video from its iPod, among other features.

The glasses have a small camera and display built in..

NEW DELHI: Google reads every email that you send and receive, so claims software giant Microsoft. In its latest campaign titled 'Don't get scroogled by Gmail', the software maker says that Google reads every email a user sends and receives in order to dish out related advertisements.
Through the campaign, Microsoft asks users to switch to its own free email service Outlook.com, which it claims "doesn't go through the content of users' emails to show ads." It also asks users to sign an online petition against Gmail to let Google know that "going through personal email messages to sell
ads is unacceptable."
On its website, Google says, "In Gmail, most of the ads we show appear next to an open email message and are related to the contents of the current email
conversation or thread." Microsoft explains this with a host of examples on its website Scroogled.com. One example is Google advertising details of divorce lawyers to a woman who has
emailed to her friend that she is separating from her husband.
The maker of Windows operating system says Google has not given users the choice to not show their private emails to the company. It also highlighted that the internet search giant currently faces six class-action lawsuits because of its
practice of sifting through subscribers' emails. Microsoft said, "We honour the privacy of our
Outlook.com users, and we are concerned that Google violates that privacy every time an Outlook.com user exchanges messages with
someone on Gmail. This campaign is as much about protecting Outlook.com users from Gmail as
it is about making sure Gmail users know what Google's doing." Citing a GfK Roper study it commissioned,
Microsoft states that 70% of email users in US are unaware that major email providers routinely
engage in the practice of reading through their personal email to sell ads. When informed of the same, 88% of the people disapprove of this practice.

Microsoft recently also took on Google Shopping for offering users' skewed choices.
